I'm really sorry for such a belated birthday post!

Here's sending out lots and lots of love to a really special someone... Ting!

Here's to the days we played bingo

ahhhs bingo.. such an integral part of our JC memories. Well, for all the reasons to groan and moan abt being in NYJC, i'd have to say that i'm really really glad that i went there as i got to know ting when we sat down at the same table grouping in CT class! Since JC, we have been creating loads of wonderful memories, ranging from walking home (as we both live in serangoon garden) to studying in the CC to laughin about loverboy/ sengtat and gold rolex watch/ the smashed in tortise at wendy's tuition. The whole reason why the mere thought of JC allows a smile to spread across my face is mainly beacuse of her.

Here's to the times we leaned on each other when we felt low

I love how she has always been there for me. Cliche but true. I distinctly remember an apt example of how ting has always been there for me. Abt 2 weeks before A levels, i had to go through a terrible breakup and the first thing i did was to run to ting's house for sanctuary. Instead of letting me cry through boxes of tissues while she continued mugging, she actually listened and consoled me. I'll forever be grateful for her support during those days.

The wonderful friendship didnt end with when JC days did. We soon became neighbours in NUS! Those were the days when we got the nicest hostel rooms in PGP and it was really pleasant popping in and out of each other's rooms. Whenever we felt low, we wud bring a sara lee cake or chocolate to munch away our sorrows!!

When she went away to Australia (damn you, down under!), i was really frightened that i would lose this wonderful friendship. Thankfully, MSN, smses and visits have kept our friendship alive! In Year 2, i had to go through a group project with the worst grp members ever. Not only did she listen and helped to calm me down, she even helped me to do parts of the project! Nowadays, she's my "editor". Whenever i face a essay question, we would toss around ideas on how to answer it. Yes, ting is truly a life saver! I lost count of how many times this intelligent girl has helped pull me back on track!

Here's to the secrets kept

Of course, what's a friendship without numerous discussions about our crushes and silly secrets. Like one fridge magnet says, we'll have to be friends forever and ever because you know all my secrets!!

I love how I can always trust her to give me good advice and help me keep my secrets. She has always been a great confidante!

Here's to the laughter we shared

I love how funny she can be with her puns, jokes and lovely sense of humour. Or how she always agrees to go along with my madcap schemes and adds fun of the whole occasion (remember the candle making??) .

Everytime i see her name pop up on MSN, i would immediately click on her name coz i swear.. She always makes my day! When i need to rant, she would listen and sometimes join in..but the conversation always helps me find a funny side to the whole situation.

Remember sentosa? I really appreciateed how ting didnt tell me to shut up about my
"dolphins are fish" theory. or how patient she was in enduring my "pink dolphins look boiled" comments... and and OMG.. i tink we really broke the record for spending the longest time in Underworld since she was really eager to take a nice pic of a scary looking shark. We went round and round and round, tryin to look yummy enough for the shark to come swimming up! :D

And how about all the photos she has kindly provided of the hot guy over there so as to let me get a glimpse at some hotness! She actually took time off to take more photos of R to let me squeal with joy when i saw it posted on her blog!! That seriously made me float up for a bit! hahaha!

And how about all the random smses she sends? Sometimes, the smses come at the most unexpected time and it would just lift my mood up! :D

OH OH OH! AND She's the best shopping partner! It's really fun to try on stuff together and she always offers her most honest feedback. Not to mention the agonised faces she makes when she realises that she loves the clothes she picked out to try out just for fun!

And while this birthday post is a little late,

Here's to the memories we made and will make!

I love how she always gives a 110% of herself to every task she tackles. From projects to planning trips to even life itself, she has always been dedicated. I love how she sets an example of a religious life, how caring she is, how she takes the time to break down the barriers one sets ard oneself, how she never gives up, how we can laugh over the most stressful times, how she has always picked me up, how she is always willing to share good deals (like sentosa!! and tiger airways), how we can both start stoning and still feel comfortable, how she can take my teasing, how beautiful she is, both on the outside and inside... (yes i know! cliche but very apt for ting!), how we both walk fast and will always take over others simultaneously, how we both get happy over the simplest things ( for eg in underworld, when any shark swam near us!) and how she takes the most awesome of awesome photos. Her photos are really mind blowing. She always manages to find some angle of some common object and make it look oh so postcard good! (Like i said, dedicated!) :D

It's undeniable: this girl is truly one in a million!

In short, i'm really grateful that she considers me as a friend. And, no matter what, i'll always love her from the bottom of my heart! Hopefully, we can grow old together. Then when we are really old and wrinkly, we can chase each other in our hot pink vespa wheelchairs!

Happy Birthday Wenting! May you enjoy the sweet happiness you bring to others all year round!

Get back here so that we can celebrate your birthday properly!! I REALLY MISS YOU!
