This one is for a very special person
With some of my closest friends miles and miles away from me, its hard to relate my challenges and dreams to anyone. Growing up in IJ, learning with AIESEC, going to school in UVic allowed me to grow among some of the world's most ambitious, brightest and most promising young people in the world. People with very different perspectives and mindsets, I have enjoyed very illuminating conversations with these young people and naturally some of their ideals and dreams rubbed off on me, they challenge me and shaped me to be the person I am now.. Resulting in the fact that most of my time spend with my friends are about work, personal goals, games, enquiring more knowledge etc. Very few friends got to know my family background or even how I am at home.
Sometime in Nov 2006, I made a new friend, she is everything I tend not to be, she is easy going, nice, forgiving, soft hearted and sweet ( ok.. i am not a heartless, bitch... you get the point ) . She grew up completely different, different family backgrounds and in a different world. Despite all our difference, someone up there really sent me someone very special. Between me and her, something struck a chord, maybe its the way we observe people, maybe its the love for photography, maybe it is how completely different we are, I am not sure.
I dont know how to describe the difference and similarities we have, so geeky me, I have this picture to help.
HA HA HA HA HA
I have been very lucky to have her as a good friend, someone who teaches me new stuff, sharing with me insights to life, showing me what shopping is, whats good out there to eat, and how to survive the corporate world. Her independent ways, sensible but silly sometimes make one reflects on why anyone can think like that and live everyday happier than the day before.
She does little things in ways I will not, enjoys life with very simple mindset, sets out to make hers and everyone around just a little easier with a good attitude. She will very humbly learn from the others around her, what she doesn't know is how much people learn from her.

Life is not smooth sailing but at least I have friends who are there for me, and for this, I cannot thank you enough.

I know I may not be the best of friend, I cant give u a good listening ear, offer u sounded advice or be of help when are u in need.
But I am trying to be a good friend to make u chuck sometimes, and free ur mind through our talk cock sessions. Hahaa..
Unthoughtful or bo chup as i seems to be, actually, I do care just that I cant express it very well. There was a lot of mixed feeling being ur partner in crime initially.
But I am VERY glad that our path crossed, you showed me and made me understand a lot of things from a different perceptive, from your angle, thats a complete different from my world.
I hope life will be smooth sail for you. And even it wasnt..... its god's plan to train you to be stronger, mighty and powerful superwoman!!! Keke..
You go gal!
