I've got a CIP at the zoo tmr again, so I'm going to turn in soon.

Today's study date was too productive that I am already feeling very tired since 6pm. I just hope that tmr will be an enjoyable day, even though I am grouped with strangers. Sigh.

Sharman said that things often change and there's never much warning, when I asked her how could somebody's attitude and perspectives change so much over a short period of time. As if it never happened, or like it never mattered.

I suppose she's right.

And just like this, I survived another night.

Happy 18th Birthday Yanjie, even though I knw you might not read this.

Do you remember when we were young, we used to spend hours on end at the swings at the playground opposite my block, talking about all sorts of random things, sometimes gossiping, sometimes just plain singing because we felt like it?

That feels like a lifetime ago. Life was uncomplicated, even though I always had bitch fights with my friends back then, because I was as obstinate when I was 8 as I am 18. Things like friend snatching happens, things like "I don't befriend you liao!" happens, things like "He keeps looking in my direction :D!!" happens.

If only life was simple like this now. Bitch fights still happen, but they extend far beyond just plain "I don't friend you liao!". They hurt deeper, they destroy more, and the pain they leave behind is also harder to erase. And then we grew up some more and realised, as we fall in and out of love, that love is never that perfect, nor such a merry thing after all, and that fairy tales don't exist. No Prince Charrming would come on a white horse to sweep us away from distress, and no Happy Ending, even if you've fought and given your all.

We seemed to think we've grasped the concept of love. But it slips out of our hands the next moment.

What I wouldn't give to go back a day in primary 3 when we can run around the fitness corner playing 'Crocodile' or 'Blind Mice' during our breaks, and that all I had to think about when I'm not doing anything, is how to do my math homework, and whether that boy likes me back or not. How on a Saturday we could just go to the swings, to your house, to JP.

Do you still remember? We used to be such great friends. Times spent at your house, long hours walking around JP, I never knew how we could do that because JP is so sian now even though it is twice bigger than it used to be.

Even though you've moved on to have your own life and your own friends and you're not the small girl you used to be anymore, I'd still like you to knw that you were someone I treated with my truest emotions and someone I thought I would like to keep as a friend forever. But I knw that time has passed us by, and I am not asking for anything, other than just letting you knw some simple thoughts I'd been thinking as I read through your entries since we graduated.

I am starting to sound cheesy, don't mind me.
Do enjoy your big day :)

Love,
Your Childhood Friend
