i have friends that i've known since i was 13. that's a long, long time ago. we've known each other for more than 18 years, since i was in secondary school. it wasnt easy making friends at that age and at that time. for one, i wasnt from the primary school...i went to another school. they all "graduated" to form 1 together. i thought i'd have trouble making friends. plus, at that age...girls are very 'click'y. mock, trueblue, saigon cat, zets are some of the girls i made friends with from that age, and am still in touch with.
and friends that i made during my uni years...nina, paie, aju, eti, fahmi, man, aida, gee, karen, lucy. this was also a scary experience. i went overseas on my own (budak FAMA...) while the other students were scholars, who came in a group. i also stayed in a dorm where i was probably the only malay in the whole college (other than siti who i lepak-ed with during breakfast; and of course my abang iri). we still meet up for lunch, or children's birthdays, or we via the email. however the means, we are still in touch.
now that i'm old and blogging and forum-ming, i'm surprised that i can still find friends who are genuine. not easy as you only know them virtually and what you gather from what they've written may not be what they actually mean. the risk of misunderstanding is big. but the friends that i made over my blogging tenure...nae, dot, lia, nad, erin, diana...are great. we email, we sms, we talk, we blog & comment, we meet up. granted, there are times when the malu-malu kucing feeling creeps up when we meet, but i'm sure it'll pass over time.
i'm thankful that i'm blessed with great friends. friends i can laugh with, cry with, get angry with, depend on if i need some advice, share jokes with, lepak with, lunch with. to my friends (those i've mention and those that...well, you know who you are), may our friendship continue to grow and blossom.
and to my best friend...birthday present tu nak hutang sampai bila? ;P

Eiseai,
We've got SOOO many memories together, its just too hard to forget them just like that.
I know we don't meet that much and maybe not as close as we used to be (i miss the school days!) but you are one of those friends that I'll treasure for the rest of my life. I just wanted you to know that :)
You rock, girl! Take care...
