Happy 24th birthday...
Monday, July 03, 2006
It's a pity, don't you think so? We went through alot of stuff together. It got to a point when we thought that we are fated to be friends till the end of time. To be exact, best friends. All because after primary school, we lost touch and then in
1998, we met each other again. We thanked IRC for that. And after that, we became so close. We
hated the same people. We
loved the same people. We had our own group of friends:
Is,
Shikin,
Ijat,
Rizky,
Grrl,
Kid,
Ice,
Ill. Even so, we were still so close that we treated each other as more than best friend, we treated each other as siblings.
We shared our problems. We shared our joy. We thought we would go through it all. We backed each other up. In fact, if someone makes fun of one of us, we will actually argue with that person.
Remember when I cried on the bus, just because you told me you will be migrating to Australia? I didn't care if the people on the bus were looking at me or laughing at me or smirking at me. I didn't care. Because all I cared about was my best friend, someone whom I treated as a brother, won't be a phonecall away anymore because he's migrating to Australia. Then you dropped the bombshell: you were just kidding. I didnt get mad at you because you tricked me but instead I felt relieved.
Remember the time when I didn't want to talk to you just because you told something to Is? Something that Is was not supposed to know. You apologised and stuff bu I still ignored you. Then I realised it's not worth throwing our friendship away just because of one secret that was told to Is. I told you that I won't trust you anymore and I won't share with you my secrets anymore. But in the end, I still did.
Remember when I declared to the whole of Toys 'R' Us that we weren't best of friends anymore? We didn't talked for a whole week. You called me childish and I told you to look in the mirror before calling me that. But I missed you so much that I actually gave you a postcard with a picture of a cute cat and some poem. I wrote in that letter that if you've forgiven me, give me a hug. And when I went into the locker room, you gave me hug and I teared. And we promised each other that we won't let our childishness or anybody to stand in the way of our friendship.
Remember when you were bored at work, you'll just call me to talk about nothing at all? When I was still at TRU, you'll come to the exit side and leave your entrance side unattended. We'll go for lunch and dinner together,
suka-suka hati tukar yang lain punya makan time so we could eat together? Then when I resigned, you still call me because you were bored at work.
There are alot of things we went through together. Your crushes and your heartbreaks. My relationships and my heartbreaks. How we would sing ourselves silly in front of your PC. How I would just hang out at your place, not forgetting to buy drinks and food from
Sunplaza before heading to your place. How we would just do stupid stuff together just to entertain ourselves. How you would actually tell me not to cry beacause then you'll cry too. How I told you not to be a lazy bum and go look for a job. How I told you to look at life seriously instead of just having fun because we are no more that young. How we have abbreviations for every single thing.
The times we eat sushi only just because I was stress. The times we imitated, "
Hi! Welcome to Cavana!" and we both agreed that it was real irritating. The times we would just walk around doing and buying nothing. The times you would explain to me technical stuff because I just don't read manuals. The times when I called you and asked if you are free and if you are, I'll drop by your crib(as you called it). The times when you lectured me into taking real good care of the digital camera you gave me last year as my 21st birthday present. The times we camera whored, just you and me.
I miss those times. I really do. And I miss you too.
But everything is gone now. I read your blog for the last time just now. You are happy right now. And for that, I am happy for you.
It's your birthday today. I didn't forget.
Happy 24th birthday to you. May all your wishes come true.
