My High School Best Friend's Birthday!

Oooh.. Today is my best friend, Liz's Birthday!!! I can't believe everyone is slowly turning 21 years old now. Soon it'll be my turn! Argh.. I don't want! I want to go back to sweet sixteen! Sigh.. once you pass the 20 year mark.. time just passes by and soon you'll be sixty years old!!! Boohoo..

Liz and I have known each other since we were in Form 1, which was when we were around 12 to 13 years old. That's 7 years of friendship! We were in the same class in Form 1 but we didn't really talk to each other though. She was this pretty popular girl that everyone like and I was this weird girl that came from the other side of the country. We joined the same club in school though, we were both librarians so I guess that's where we started to know each other's name. And slowly.. after a few years, for some unknown reason, we started getting closer.

She has always been Little Miss Perfect. (Sorry gal! You are! ^.^) Being good at every thing. She was the prefect leader, always smiling, prefect in her results and since I mention she was pretty too, it was normal that she had all the guys kissing the ground she walked on.

The guy that I had a crush on even turned out to like her in the end! Heartbreaking I tell you! =(

But for some reason, she was a wonderful friend. We always had tons of stuff to talk about. Though mostly it would be about boys, boys and boys! Haha.. How much I miss those times!

After high school, we separated. I went on to study Form 6 and she to college. There was a big gap between us now. Form 6 being all studious and serious while college life being all about fashion and partying. We lost touched for a while but for some reason, whenever we do get together, things seemed to never changed and we could talk for ages again. And because of the occasional get together, I still knew what was going on in her life and who her new friends were.

Since I came to US, I never spoke to her at all. Though we do 'facebook' each other once in a blue moon, I don't really know what's going on in her life and she too mine. But today (yesterday for her) is her birthday and it suddenly struck me on how important she is to me!!! I have been there for almost all her birthdays in the past years and for her most important 21st birthday, I couldn't be there to celebrate it with her. I felt so sad.. =(

Thanks to International calling cards though I managed to call her and wish her Happy Birthday! Only after hearing her voice do I realize how much I miss her! Argh... friendships are such fragile things but true friendships no matter what will never change over time. I really hope that even though we may be worlds apart and we don't really know what's happening in each other's life, our friendship will still remain pure and true.

Happy Birthday my darling Liz! Muarx!
