It's... MY FRIENDS!

Yes, yes. New post and all that, I know. Probably wouldn't be so enthusiastic in the future. Either that or I forget my password. So, anyways...

Yeah, friends. Who could live without them? They're always entwined in your life, whether you like it or not. Family comes first, friends second and yourself last. Although I usually choose myself first sometimes. It's a natural defense mechanism.

So, the first of my friends: Jarren. He's a funny, weird and a little crazy (in a good sort of way), and very, very compatible with me. He's the happy-go-lucky kind of guy, though he gets nervous at some totally unimportant things, for example going to school in Aus after the holidays. Don't give me that look, Jarren, you know it's true.

He's always there to support me, and always listens to me when I'm ranting off about something. He likes to joke and sometimes tease people for fun, especially his sister, Jomei. Other than that, he's quite good in his work, and like me, is weak in Chinese.

I met Jarren since Standard 3, and I feel very guilty when thinking about it. See, I treated Jarren like a minion during that year (Yes, I'm laughing very hard now). I don't remember the specific reason but I know it has to do with some guy which he had dubbed "Light Bulb Head". So, I later met him again in Standard 6, and it was one of my best year with him.

He came to our class during the school holidays of Standard 5, and we were having extra classes to help us in our UPSR. So, I was waiting by the gate for him on the first day, and that smart guy didn't come. I don't know why, but he just didn't. Man, was I disappointed. But at least I got back at him. See, there was a day when I didn't come and he got humiliated by the teacher. But, we got on with the rest of the year quite okay, even though we're sitting apart (he's sitting next to "Evil Julie") and we fight occasionally, but that's normal with your friends, right? As long as you actually make an attempt to apologize, then you're fine.

Round 1, fight!

So, now he's already migrated to Australia. Time sure flies. You have to appreciate your friends; you might not know when they will be gone. At least with today's technology, we're still able to talk to each other and such. And he's coming back on July, so I don't have to worry much.

Well, let's carry on. The next person that I appreciate would be Bryan Poh. He's probably gagging when he was reading this. That's natural. Bryan is a smart person (I think it's because of his smart sister) who would sometimes joke and such, though he is mostly serious. I seriously didn't know how I became friends with him (HE KEEPS DENYING IT, DAMNIT!) cause he's the kind of person that could not really take an insult or a tease. You should try. He will fire words at you faster than a machine gun firing bullets. And he's not that good in Chinese, too.

But Bryan has some good qualities. He may not have the patience, but he does have the will to strive forward and help others, especially his friends. He shares a few games with me, and watches anime, so there are some stuff to talk about once in a while. His teachings are good and easily understandable, and he mostly has team spirit !! Booyah!

He's pretty good in maths (And I suck at it -.-) and he sometimes doesn't have the patience to teach me. He's angry at me most of the time, I can't tell, but he's really OK when you get to know him, and I have known him since Form 2. At that time, he bends my fingers back while I bite him on his hands. Yeah, those were the times.

This is Bryan. Note his awesome SC 2 shirt.

Bryan is good-natured, kind and will help a friend in need (I think, for I can't really tell. He's mean to me) so I will say that I appreciate you. Just don't glare at me when I ask you for some homework help, please.

Well, third on my list is Loo Ian Zhan, or IanZhan Loo, or Raido Xes or Raido Swire. Yes, he has a lot of different names. He's also one of my good friends who I had known since Standard 5. He is good in all subjects, especially Chinese (Boo!), but is weak in BM and English.

Rare picture!

Some people will call him weird (as in the freaky, outcast type of weird), but he's a sociable person. Really nice. You kinda get used to him after the punching (Violent punya orang) and weird talk, and he has the patience to help you get through stuff. He gets easily angered though, and one look of his face will usually silence your soon-to-finish tease/insult.

Other than that, he likes football very much. Chelsea is his favorite team, and he always stays up at night to watch his team play. Other than that, he likes playing basketball, although he plays like a Rugby player, hitting people aside just to get the ball. And he goes to Taman Aman on most Sundays.

He shared many games with me and kinda entertained me during Form 1. He likes Muse, Adam Lambert, Pendulum, and many others... He just likes music. He seldom takes picture of himself, is active in Scouts (just this year), and is totally loyal to the Leo Club. Hoorah for you!

Well, I'm kinda tired now. I know there are many more that I haven't posted here, but rest assured you guys will be remembered. That is, if my memories don't fail me. Appreciate your friends, you may not know when you will see them again...
