grace's 20th birthday

today's grace's 20th birthday. have i ever told you buddy that i'm so glad u're born a month and two days before me. cos then i can feel young despite may's constant reminder that i would soon be 19 no more.

today, we ( may and me) presented the video that we did for grace and i'm really glad that she actually liked it. after 5 concept changes and a fullblown 'i feel the pain of not being able to sleep' night for may. glad you liked it grace. and you better not lose the disc, cos we ain't gonna write those messages for you again cos our 'words of wisdom' are actually highly sought after. heh heh. just kidding. =p

anw, we had dinner at nooch and syahmi actually joined us at 945 pm as the staff was taking our last order for drinks.

the thing is:

as i sat there looking at the table, snapping away with grace's camera, i have come to realize how generous God has been. that within such a short time span know so many people, like syahmi, firdaus and chweng who were not friends till we all went through FOP 05.06 together.

that having allowed me to know both may and grace and introduce the both of them to one another, made a friendship between the three of us.

it was really surreal sitting right at the table at nooch. cos i started to realize God's gifts after the fall out with some friends over the past few days, weeks, months and years.

i really thank all of you for being part of my sheltered little life. for being there to listen to me talk all the crap i want. for telling me all these crappy stories at times when i need them. and really, for just being yourselves. cos that's really the truest gift of all in a friendship- to not be fake and hide your true selves.

i'm really thankful that after all the pain i've been through for the past few weeks( grandad warded into hospital. falling off a chair and getting a really bad sprain. sleepless nights thanks to some idiot who keeps bugging me on the phone etc), that i've managed to have one really good memorable night. thanks for picking up the bill man grace! cos really that's made me remember the night even more =p .

and as i finally get to get some proper rest, i'll leave off with a sentence that i'm sure evey has known by hard now since i keep saying it throughout our jc years:

friendship is not about how long we've known one another. it's a matter of how hard we've worked at making this whole thing work. it's just like any other relationship. and i'm glad that you are taking this journey of life with me.
