Julian
it's been a tough year for the both of us hasnt it? we've both come a really long way from where we were at this point in time last year. we've had our ups and downs, but regardless, the fact that we both stand here together welcoming the new year has to mean something i hope. i love you so much julian. thank you for being the shoulder i needed to cry on when i was alone. thank you for understanding what it means to be burden by the responsibilities of someone else. for all the nights we sat by the pool and talked and laughed together, for all the nights you hugged me to sleep when i get my really bad nightmares. for all the tender kisses and sweet caresses, for all the times you'd stay over so i didnt have to be alone, they dont go unremembered. there's nothing in the world i could want more than just knowing that there is still that small part of you that wants me too, even though i dont always know if it's there or not. but thank you for just being here, doing what you do to me. good or bad it doesnt matter. at least i have you around. i dont expect love to be requited because i dont need your love as ticket to start loving you. it means a lot to have simply have you as company and that was something i needed the most this year. so even if nothing else matters, thank you for being a friend. i love you.
San Thit
how our friendship has grown. if there could only be one friend that i was allowed to mention in this thank-you post, it would hardly be a chore for me to decide that it should be you. you have been an immense source of strength for me the past year and without you to cry to, to get angry together with, to bitch about with, i think i would have gone crazy by now. i dont know how you manage to be such a great and sincere friend to me and you've never once let me feel like i was alone, ever. even though we go without meeting for weeks at a time, sometimes even months. all your late-night whatsapp messages telling me that you miss us hanging out really knocks into me without fail each time a sense of humbleness - that i will never really be alone because i've got wonderful friends like you around me who will help me up each time. i'm truly blessed to have met you and to have our friendship grow strong and proud together. i am really grateful for all your wise words and retarded moments not just during the past year, but for however long we've known each other. i love you truly and am so fucking grateful for you. as i said last year, you mean more to me than you can ever realize. i hope 2011 will be even more awesome for you. muacks.
To all my other friends, you all deserve a mention too, for simply here in my life, providing me with memories after memories of great fun and laughter. thank you. i hope 2011 will be awesome for you and hopefully bring us closer.
Erin Goh- for all the mahjong games we can ever play. for including me in your family and accepting me as one of your own. you have no idea what that means to me. for all the long walks and talks we've had at your sky garden, for all mee sua we've had, all the ciggies we've pinched off each other. for all the laughing and joking around. for the amazing number of years of friendship we have. that in itself is simply something to be grateful for. thank you.
Mehvish Rasheed - you my darling, are the best person in my life right now to talk philosophy with. regardless if we've having wine and strawberries by the beach, or if it's sharing gossip in our bedroom, or sipping coffee after work together, you never fail to remind me that i have a friend in you. i love all of our long-winded conversations about the mysteries of love and life and the universe. you have been an amazing friend. thank you.
Andrea Paulo - this year has definitely brought us so much closer and despite the sad circumstances under which we got reconnected, im still glad that through those dark times of my year, we were both there for each other to cry and find comfort in. just hanging out by the pool with you or going to the movies with you is enough for me to always have a good time. i am so grateful that i have someone to text with in the middle of the night when i am sad and crying by myself. you were there for me and for that i can not say thank you enough. love you babe. hope things are looking up for you as well.
Kylie Chapman - now although our friendship is still new, it's pretty plain to see that we probably have a long way more to go in our friendship. with you i always have an awesome time because you are so "my kinda people" and i love that. of course it doesnt hurt that we share similar taste in music and in lifestyles and in principles and values and hit off pretty much right away. thank you, for always being there to talk sense into me when you whenever you start seeing me veer off track and you always almost restore my aura for me. thank you for being here with me and here's to many more years coming in our friendship. love you.
Lijin Low - you, along with santhit, have played a huge huge role in my getting on my feet this year. you've watched me break down and fall apart and was still there for me regardless, to talk sense into me, and to talk shit into me making me laugh and forget about my problem for that while. i cannot express my thanks enough for you and san who have acted as the role of my left and right hand men (women), standing strong for me as my pillars of strength. i hope our friendship continues to flourish this coming year because you remind me strongly the importance steadfast girlfriends. love you.
Eastwood Gang - to the whole lot of you, simply put, im glad i met you guys. i am touched and humbled that you would readily open your hearts and houses to me, welcoming me into your lives. all the late nights spent laughing and drinking and joking, all the celebrations and outings we've had with the kids are really really wonderful times that i will never and can never forget. so thank you for that. i know for sure spending the new year's countdown with you guys will be fantastically awesome =)
"and how can i stand here with you, and not be moved by you."
