a semi-charmed life

THIS IS FOR TAY LAVINA SIERRA otherwise known as HOLES.

she's going away for months and months. to perth,aussieland to be a doctor.
i knew her since we were p1. we ate alot together during our 50ct recesses tho both of us were skinny monkeys. both went thru the same period of having bushy messy short hair. visiting the eco garden. using the same toilet cubicle. then lost touch from p3 to sec1 or 2. in sec3 we picked up where we left off and here we are again.

holes, u really do make my bones whole.

there are favourite memories of us that are burnt into my brain.
like running away from the madman who stalked us from the aroozoo playgrd to heartland mall.
like skipping morning assembly in vj to eat at 7 eleven and to poop in the airy toilet behind the hall.
like having picnics on board 55.
like the holy woman and 7x a week thing.
like staying over at each others' houses to study(as if!) and watch dvds.
like going to east coast to lie on the breakwaters and tan.
like walking from serangoon to kovan(past all the shophouses and rocky pavements) and singing Akon's "Lonely" at the top of our lungs.
like trying to buy barcardi using my birth cert cos i lost my ic and bus pass and u laughing merrily in the background.
like the disgusting names we give each other. slutsy!

and my all time favourite memory which happened in p2 (which she always always denies)..the toilet one where u generously let me pee into the toilet bowl as i was very urgent, and i turned back only to see u pee into the drainage cover. haha, now i've immortalised the truth.

woman! i didnt chase away the clouds..pls look at your red beyond any red face. when we come home, we'll do things that we planned to do on a grander scale.. to make the misadventures of holes and bones something tremendous and a great contribution to humanity.

to my partner in crime, my homegirl, my friend.
to the best of times and to the worst of times... God bless. my prayers will go with u.

today for a moment, i felt this cliched feeling of being at crossroads. geok lian was kinda like berating me for being un-choosy abt how i'm going to lead my life before going to uni. something abt how i commit to stuff without even knowing what it entails. if her english was beng style, she would have said that i "everything also whack".

and then,

my mum and i were talking. (nice to talk to her these days that she's more relaxed with the cny spring cleaning) abt everything under the sun. oh yah, digressing, she said she'll bring me to watch brokeback mountain!!! MODERN MAMA man. we were talking abt something unrelated to what geok lian and i were talking abt (which was church and yfc stuff), and she told me not to stick to one route. try every direction. two different advice that somehow merge together.

and i thought abt the bible verse that's abt entering through the narrow road. it's terribly interesting to think abt this. but it makes me feel insignificant, weird and gutsy; scared and happy..everything. imagine when i get my results! i think i'll explode even more than when i ran last wk.
