best friends

i was checking out one of my primary school friend's myspace page and i realised how many friendships i've gone through the past sixteen years.

so, as a bit of a tribute to those who've made an OUTSTANDING contribution to my life the past sixteen years.. here are my best friends.

my cousin david yeoh - best friend: newborn to eight years old
  • when we were three/six; we thought that you died when you were ten years old cos we couldnt count past that.
  • when we were four/seven; i wanted to marry him.. but aparantly you can't marry your cousin lol
  • when we were six/nine; we experienced our first 'all-nighter' with our cousins hau yang & yu yang and then went to sunway lagoon the next day absolutely dead tired
  • when we were six/nine; we played this game with our cousins aaron & donny where the aim was to get to the front door from my grandma's room without any adult seeing us. we had awesome codes like, "the coast is clear" and "back to base camp"
he taught me football (soccer) and music and many many things. we still hang out when i visit malaysia.

amy hiew - best friend: four to eight years old

  • when we were five/eight; we used to have many sleepovers
  • we used to always go swimming, and have lunch after church
she was my big sister, we still hang out and go for tong shui whenever i visit.

natasha thiagarajah - best friend: seven to ten years old
  • when we were seven/six; we used to go to the park opposite her's to play on the playground
  • we ordered maccas at midnight (cos malaysia has free delivery) last year
church wouldnt be the same without her - sticker photos and old fashion mail.

sarah goh - best friend; ten to twelve years old
  • when we were eleven/twelve; we'd sing usher confessions part 2 and welcome to my life by simple plan at the top of our lungs with li ming
  • when we were eleven/twelve; we went to phillip island and took so many catalogues from the surf shop they probably thought we were stealing something
  • when we were ten/eleven; we made a slide from her top bunk to her bottom at the old doncaster house opposite the RSL
  • when we were eleven/twelve; we went to the snow/camping together. we went skiing and body boarding like mad
cell group was sarah and liming and singing very very loud. summer was always at wye river and winter near falls creek.

evelyn perry - best friend; nine to twelve years old

  • when we were eleven; we'd stay in and play cards with the girls. we said, "when we're all old and in year nine we'll probably think.. how nerdy are we? but oh well!"
  • when we were eleven; we made a movie with all our friends for a school assignment. it involved a jack hammer, an egyptian tomb, and painting hieroglyphics on the prep storeroom wall
  • when we were eleven; we named a tree heath and fed it with our rubbish with the rest of our friends
  • when we were ten; jason want was the coolest
mecs would've been so sad without you! i loved primary school cos of you!

grace ling - best friend twelve to now
  • when we were twelve/thirteen; we thought that we were the asian veronicas
  • when we were thirteen/fourteen; we wore pajamas to shaun's party
  • when we were twelve/thirteen; we went around saying, "honey do you love me? baby if you love me smile =)"
  • when we were fourteen/fifteen; we had moping nights with weis tubs, dove chocolate truffle, pringles and watermelon while watching soppy chick flicks
  • when we were thirteen/fourteen; we mc-ed rally night, and us and joanne would go around saying, "whatever your mother works in mcdonalds with minimum wages"
  • when we were fifteen/sixteen; we stayed overnight at a hotel and ate trampoline all night long
  • when we were fourteen/fifteen; we had breaky at ikea all the time
  • when we were fourteen/fifteen; our favourite movie was hating alison ashley "why do we have to be ugly? i mean HELLO!" and napoleon dynamite "do the chickes have large talons?"
  • theres many more..
my life wouldnt be the same without you.

isaac ho, jerusha ho & adrienne kher - best friends fourteen to now
  • last year; we went to proud peacock after watching hancock at the movies and laughed until we cried and our stomachs hurt and we were about to throw up! (cos isaac is SOO lame)
  • last year; we had a F.R.I.E.N.D.S marathon with jan and ann.. isaac cooked 7 packets of mee goreng between me, ann & him (me and ann only ate one packet)
  • last year; adri and i went crazy with my new SLR around knox
  • when me and adri were in grade 4/5, we played polly pockets at her house
  • when me and isaac were in grade 4/8 or 9, we broke into the trampoline area of a campsite cos the asians stole the keys!
you guys are simply the best. my lameness clan =) will love you all till the very end.

dora tan - best friends thirteen till now

  • when we were in year eight; we dressed up and went to knox to watch stick it
  • when we were in year nine; we made awesome tim tam iced chocolates
  • when we were in year ten; we went opp shop shopping in rosebud at camp
  • when we were in year ten; i watched some of my first horror movies with you. :| WHY?
school would be so boring and aussified without you =)

so yesterday we went to a 21st and her best friend made a speech and they'd been best friends for forever. a forever i'll never know because i never keep best friends for all that long. i hope some day someone can stand up and talk about me like she did about her best friend. they'd spent so many good times together and gone through so many phases. maybe some day i'll stop moving and have a forever best friend.
