String The Bean

It has been about 11 months I have known you. I still remember the first time speaking to you on MSN and you weren’t shy at all voicing out your concerns about Imperial, what to expect and being in London. You were also bold enough to meet me in Midvalley after about a few chats. Our first encounter was really funny and my famous quote ‘You look like a senior.’

So, the first term you were trying to settle in and I bet you did quite well adapting to your new environment. You loved Beit Hall which was basically across Imperial(well, my department at least) and attending your lectures at your leisure. And of course you have your Gothic roommate.

It was really sweet of you to celebrate my birthday dinner with me eventhough you were busy. I know I had a dateline the day after too. But food comes first right.

Then, came me going over to Norway which was quite hard for me leaving a lot of things behind. At that point I regretted going to Norway. My first thought of going abroad was because I had nothing in London as most of my friends had graduated. However, you helped me through those tough times. You certainly changed my mind and attitude.

I shall pass the emo and jiwang stuff I faced when I was in Norway and came MNight which I flew back. You were amazing on stage by the way and I wouldn’t missed it for the anything. I’m still pissed that I missed you after the show.

Anyway, during my 4 months in Norway, I managed to find a long lost little brother. Even my Norwegian friends congratulated me for finding one. To be honest, I was shocked them congratulating me and it was quite funny.

I can’t put in words for how much you have helped me, Kai. You are always lost when I say thanks for helping me out in everything. And you know what. You definitely have been right and during that times, you were the older brother. And I also apologise for the dumb questions and the disturbance I give you all the time.

Once again Heng Kai, Happy 19th Birthday. I’m sure you will have a great day and sorry I can’t make it back. You know I would love to be there. Well, I’m sure you would have a handful of things to do. Have fun Little Brother!

I’m really sorry that I won’t be back to celebrate your birthday. Though I also fear I might get lost going to PD too. And I don’t want to get sulphure poisoning too.

Anyway, the first time I heard(more like met) you was on Skype and you were surely very scary with your laughter. I still get goosebumps when I hear that sound of malice. And sorry la ah, I still haven’t gotten you a doughnut yet but you la never around one.

You have been an exceptional friend. You always picked me up when I’m down and also made me even crazier when I was in Norway. I don’t think I have met a person like you who laughs all the time at the smallest things. You are definitely one of the most cheerful person ever. Though you are cruel forcing me to sing to entertain you. But since this is your day should I sing you ‘You are 20 going on 21″ ah?

However, I don’t think I’m going to tell about the experience being 21 and I’m NOT old okay. But yes I do admit I don’t think right at times. Though I’m very thankful and may be not influencing me going into photography and becoming your alarm clock, it certainly did me some good.

Once again Happy 21st Birthday and hope you have a great day.

Yo Yew Kuan(though he never reads my blog). Happy 23rd Birthday. I know it is slightly late but you have been extremely busy with work huh? Well, I hope you had a great day and many returns of the day.

Well, my history with Mr Kuok is about 13-14 years and it has certainly been quite fun having you as a buddy. I’m still amazed for my side that we have NEVER ever been in the same class for 13-14 years. Even for Jia Jer. Through SKBD to VI. For that 8 years we have never been in the same class. Amazing stuff yet we are brought together by our activities and of course by our Mothers.

Well, now you are a good auditor(cough cough). Semangat yar.
