So, this year on my birthday, I sat down, reminiscing on the many blessings that God has blessed me with, appreciating them one by one.
But what I am really grateful to God is that He had provided me with such lovely friends. Truly amazing people I tell you. I remember when I had to transfer back to a secondary school in Subang, I was really afraid. Because I know that, everyone has their very own clique, how on earth am I suppose to have new friends? But little by little, He revealed to me these wonderful people I've shared almost 7 years of my life with them. Although we might be different in so many ways, but we've learnt to accept each and everyone for who they really are. All these years, with all the joy, tears, laughter, bitchings, cold treatments, annoyance.. gosh! just say it, I think we all have went through everything - despite all those, it has really really brought us even more closer.
One of the many blessings that God gave; I'd say, they're my angels! or rather, quotes Mel, "My bee-at-chess!"
I simply love the present dearie! and the card, is simply amazing, with all the things I want on my wish list. Thank you so much for taking time off from your books to make the 3D card for me. But, that's not important, I love you even more.
You've been there for me for everything. I know I might get a teeny bit annoying (imagine Jo's frowny face saying, "This Esther ah!!...") hahaha. but yes, Jo, you know I'm not good with words and all, and I think thank you does not even come close for so the so many things you've done for me.
You've always been there when I needed to cry and laugh. You know how to crack me up even though I'm in the midst of crying my eyes out! Am really touch with the little things you've done. You might say, "Ah! It's nothing.." but it really meant something, deep down.

My 'left hand bestie' -
miss Melody Song Faye-Lynn. (:
I can always remember how we started of as friends.
Back then, during orientation, she was just sitting behind me alone. I really really wanted to talk to her, but at the same time, I was afraid that she'd just push me aside. And little did we know, we ended up in the same class. She was practically my classmate for - 4/5 years in high school.
And how did we started of as friends, you may ask?
It all begin with just a simple statement. - "I like your winnie the pooh ruler! (Winne the Pooh used to be an 'in' thing!, back when were younger!)
Ever since then, we've done almost everything together, until now. :)
Mel's always the extraordinarily special one.. always the sunshine!!
She has always been my bestie and always will be my bestie!
Thank you for everything Mel, although like I've stated, thank you doesn't even come close. But yeah, thank you so much!
Sushers aka Lim Su-Hsien!! Firstly, Thanks for booking a table at TGIF for me. Man, it'd be a screwd up plan if you have not reminded me about booking the table. :)
She said, "I had a great birthday this year, hope yours is even better!"
hahaha! Lim Su-Hsien, do you know how much we went through just to plan for your birthday.. but it was all worth it! You were definitely surprised! :P
I've always admired your strong will and desires to achieve something you will go ALL out for it, while I'm one who's more of a 'que sera sera, whatever will be will be!' Lim Su-Su (nyahah!) will always be the one nagging me about my studies, she may be a monster sometimes, but yea she meant good! :p Sush has always been there reminding me that God is good, in all ways, good or bad.
Gosh, and time's flying so fast, she's going to leave for Warwick by this September. :( My dear dear Sushie, thank you and a gazillion times thank you for the present! and above all, thank, YOU, being part of my life! :)

The girl who has a heart of gold -
Ang Su-Chien.
hahaha. We've become friends through borrowing and lending each other's maths book. (Actually more like Chien's the one borrowing people's maths book!)
As I've mentioned, she is one who has a heart of gold, the ever so thoughtful one - she NEVER forgets anyone whenever she plans something or whenever she has something on. Trust me, if you ever had a friend name Ang Su-Chien, you will never regret being friends with her. With her utmost caring attitude, and her 'motherly-love' and also yeah, heart of gold, she's an absolute princess!
Also must mention that she has fantastic things and clothes! Chien, I know I've said this a gazillion times but I really really like your skirt! It's beeuutifuull!! OOh! *bangs head on the wall* Gosh! How could I forget to mention this, I eat, get this right, I only eat Ang Su-Chien's chocolate cheese cake, no others than her cheese cake. *yummy*
See what I mean about no regrets? Haha! She's one fantabulous person! Thank you, Chien for the many things you have done.. thank YOU, for your friendship. aiyah! thank you doesn't even come close, but you know what I mean lah! :)

My, my, one who never fails to lecture me about being more mature.
"Big girl already lor... don't be naughty!"
Yeap. That's my dear
Chin Mun Teng reminding me about my age, although I must say she's only 28 days older than me.
Haha! one who always amuses me with her 'rich-tai-tai' dreams. But hey, I'm not putting her hopes down man! Nothing is impossible right Mun Teng? Do remember my Milan trips next time and my Burberry handbag, btw, if you will be marrying a rich 'lou-kong' LV also can lah hor? *grin*
Heard her sang before? It's FANTASTIC! :P
Anyways, not her to talk about that. Chin Mun Teng, thank you so much for all the wake up calls at 7.45am in the morning when were back in form 3. Without you slamming books on the table I wouldn't jump up and listen to teacher teach in class! mwahaha. kidding! Thank you for being there, when I need a friend to listen and to talk nonsense with me too! Also thank you for joining into my stupidity, sometimes!
But most of all, thank you, for always reminding me to run back to God when I'm far far away from Him.
Thank YOU and I love you for who you are, and your ARE NOT FAT!
The ever so hot and chun chiqo latino -
Amanda Hon Pei Lin.
And also, I must say, she does a very good, Paris Hilton! :) except that she's our very own Amanda. hahaha! She's soo soo cute and funny. Like yesterday, when we were talking about prom, and she was busy with her things for a while, and then she suddenly said, "I wanna go I wanna go I wanna go too!" and then, there's a pause for a while. And then she continues, "Go WHERE?" :)
I admire her for her straightforward and frankness - she just speaks her mind out. Trust me, it takes guts and skill to do it. Not everyone can do that. :) An ever so bouncy and happy young lady. Her camera skills? - stunning I must say.
Amanda, thank YOU so much for the present, and most importantly, thanks to YOU, for sharing and loving me soo much! I feel so lucky! :p
Melissa Lam Yung Qing!!!
Whenever the both of us start talking online, we end up somewhere, where both of us wouldn't know what we were actually talking about. Just one word that we share much in common - blur! At first she was so amused with our camwhoring skills - and before you know it, with much practice, and alot of good *aherm* influences, we've turned her into a hard core camwhore! hahahas.
Aye. Anyways, thank you Liss for going into 1U - facing all the stupid traffic jams, and crazy parking places to get my Stila lip glaze! mwahs* Thank you! thank you! thank you! I'm sure you saw my reaction when I saw my present. And also, Liss, thanks for coming even though your exams is next week. Will be praying for you aights!
Liss is simply an angel to all of us - ever so thoughtful. Even though she lives further away from all of us, she always makes an effort to have lunch or just to go out for a drink to catch up with us. Seriously Liss, just that little effort you made, has already done and meant alot to us, or rather me! :) Thank YOU so much for coming yesterday and making me feel so so special! :)
