2004 passed really quickly. suddenly, i kinda wish the new year never came. i actually miss going to school &even miss studying a little. ok..minus all the rushing of homework &the constant failing of tests &exams. most might think i'm mad.. but honestly, i do miss it. its gonna be hard to meet up with those whom you've made friends &had fun with but not close enough to actually call to chat &hang out &stuff. but thinking back.. 2004 was quite a good year for me. &there's so many people to thank for, that i have been blessed with.

drea (laopo): thanks for your 12 years of friendship &counting. we went through primary school, secondary school &jc together. you've seen me at my happiest, at my lowest. thanks for all the good times.. there were hardly any bad. we've never even quarrelled before! dont know if its a good or bad thing. hope we never do. thanks for all the daily calls; for trusting me enough to confide in me; for never failing to be there for me; for sneaking away from wahab's gp class to give me sweets &accompanying me to the toilet; for understanding my bitchy random thoughts instead of judging me; for being the most mad &craziest person in my life to moulding me into the same mad person too *winks*; for standing up for me; for reminding me that God will always be there to carry me through no matter what.. there's so much more it's simply indescribable. love you so so much! (:

amelia (amlah): though we knew each other existed since primary school, through sec school, we only became close when we came to pj. in fact.. more in the 2nd year. without you, pj just wouldn't have been the same for me. thanks for all your constant encouragement, for telling me not to give up &for believing in me; for all the crazy moments we had together with drea &ayeeba; i really feel blessed having you as a friend, &someone whom i was able to forge a close friendship with. i really treasure this friendship an awful lot &hope we'll stay this close in the years to come too. bimbos unite! haha love you lots lots (:

aisyah (ayeeba): we came from the same clique but were never close. but we went to the same jc &we were able to build up a close friendship. thanks for everything girlie..for being there for me, for encouraging me, making me laugh even in times of sadness. eating fondue just wouldnt be the same without you too. haha. for allowing me to be a halal pig. through A levels..thanks for pushing me to study, helping me when im lost in my work, for making boring chem lectures seem so fun. know something? i actually looked forward to chem lectures cos thats the only common period the 4 of us have together. thanks for making my life in pj so much more bearable. you &amlah're one of the best things which happened to me in pj. you're gonna run away but.. schmuahx! *bigsmooches* haha (:

wen han (lembu): haha who would've thought.. the person that used to intimidate me when i first stepped into 03s24/22, would end up being one of my closest closest friends? we hardly even talked in the 1st year! but God really blessed me by letting us know each other better in 2004. thanks for everything ol' silly one. for being so understanding &considerate, tolerant of my nonsense, respecting me, being so sensitive, taking note of my likes &dislikes, my lil' habits, for being ever so caring towards my physical &emotional side, for not judging me &loving me as a friend, for who i am inside. for being there even when all else fails. for the constant assurance &for the every other lil' things you've done for me. for trusting me. i know it's hard for you to open up to people. for being the silliest one in my life, making me feel more sane. *innocent* during A's, you came on mornings when i have papers even when you didnt have, even after you were done with your papers &i wasnt. really grateful to you &dee for being there with me to run that treacheous last lap of the year. together with everything else you've done for me, it's simply indescribable how grateful &blessed i am to have your friendship. thanks for simply just being you. love you lots silly mummy! (:

zixiang (cow): we've been through quite a bit of ups &downs but still we were able to maintain our closeness &friendship. thanks for both good times &bad. for all the lil' advise on some issues. thanks for your lil' msges. at least i know you still think &remember me. haha &esp for tolerating my lateness. know how much that makes your blood boils. also, for being such a sweet &thoughtful person in my life. for those times you looked after me. &looked out for me. for those times when you made me laugh, walking me home after our lil' trips to venezia, sending me home during late nights to make sure i was safely home. even when after that you had to walk such a long distance just to get home. believe in yourself k? i'm sure one day you'll be able to fulfill your dreams. i believe in you! tons &tons of love! (:

dionne (smurfie): the most independent woman i've ever met. &one of the most sensible ones too. thanks for making me feel more sensible &for smacking me back to reality whenever i start to float up towards the clouds. for tolerating &understanding some of my random moods. you're one of the few who can detect when something's not right with me.we share common understandings such that at times, words are unnecessary to spell them out. &i really appreciate that. i'll never forget our long talks at the bus stop. *winks* thanks for trusting me &for sharing with me. it really taught me how to appreciate what i have even more. also thanks for being my listening ear. girl trust yourself, trust me, that you're definitely a really great friend to have. you're you. enough said. you're the first who has ever been able to force me to eat blue cheese ok! hee :p no matter what you'll always have a friend in me &i dont care even if we've left pj cos our friendship will definitely not end there. you'll always be my favourite smurfie! *schmuahx!* (:

feng yi (feng): we may have gone to different jcs but i'm real glad that we had never let that stand in the way of our friendship. what's amazing is even through our years in mg, we were never as close till the end of sec4! just before we left mg. *smiles* you were always there when i was at my lowest. you would just listen patiently, understand certain reasons why i'm upset, which not many would be able to. you feel my pain, &i know that when you listen &understand, its heartfelt. you're not just my friend, you're like a sister. thanks for all that you've done for me. its really hard to put it in words. without you, i think many a times, i would've just blown. after leaving mg, our clique may have went our separate paths &though there could be no other bunch that could possibly replace our whacky darlings like yannie, jan, chel etc, you &drea has been the most constant in my life. without you 2, my life just wouldnt be the same. bigbigshoutout of love to you! (:

there's so many others out there too.. jesse - another dearest friend of mine for 12 years. we went through loads of ups &downs but i'm just glad that all that is a thing of the past, &no matter what i'll always hold your friendship close to my heart. *smiles* ; mishie - my darling trigger happy(!), faith - my darling kickass babe, paul - whose friendship im glad i never lost &those lil' calls to catch up, i'm glad i'm still the one he feels most comfortable talking to; eve - my first friend in 03s24/22, tab - the one whom i have the most crazy random moments of being blur &laughing at the stupidest of things which only the 2 of us will ever get *winks*; nanah - you will always be part of 03s24/22.. it wouldnt be the same without you. eugene - my chem study partner &source of chicken pies..haha..the one who always looks after me &fusses over me to take my medication even at the slightest tummy upset *smiles*, who remembers me even in his holidays;.. &many more.

even just looking at this list.. i know i've been blessed. (=
