In my opinion....
Birthdays are all about celebrating, not just the moment the person is born, but also about celebrating the person..Celebrating who the person has become, the life he/she leads and how much the person has accomplished (at the very least, the birthday person accomplished not dying). And part of the accomplishment is how much the birthday person has come to mean to people around them. So here's a birthday post, celebrating a person who i have come to view as a friend in the past 2 sem!
Friendships are such tricky things. It's difficult to achieve that tricky balance of giving and taking. Very often, friends fall out with one another because one (or both) parties feel like they are the ones who often had to give in to the other(s).
And then, every once in a while, comes a marvellous friend who is so generous with everything that you kinda feel that you are taking advantage of her generousity sometimes.
Enter Jiahui.
Someone who believes so much in love.
Someone who continues giving no matter how much hurt you inflict on her. Or how much it hurts her to give.
The cam whore with a steady hand and good aim! Without her cam around, the number of pics taken during outings drops by 60%.
The friend who tells u to shut up when you wanna pay for her petrol (since she often drives to school and would be nice enough to give us a ride home). We won that argument though!
The person whose eyes lights up at the mention of mahjong.
A person who is nice enough to put aside her own work and help others understand what the assignment about is in the first place. And even help others to do it!
The sincere friend who, despite claims that she cannot console pple at all, helps soothe the burning anger with just a few well-chosen words. who cheers up and encourages friends to not give up during assignments.
The crazy person who jogs around school between lessons. I can picture them (Jiahui + Huili) leaving trails of dust in their wake. The one Singaporean boys should learn a thing or two from... like how she actually wants to send us to our door step if we are on foot.
The guru of excel. HUMMMMmmmmmmmm * bows and offer offerings of spreadsheets*
The person who put me as number 7(??) on her list. HMPH.
But most importantly of all, the wonderful source of company she always provides, be it in school (rushin COM project), or in MSN conversations (MSN: connecting you despite the miles!)
So even though this post is belated, i hoped that this lovely friend of mine had a wonderful time for her special day! Thanks for such a great friend. Look out for ur parcel okok? :) :)
And because it cannot be said enough..... Happy (Belated) Birthday Jiahui!
