friends. they must be one of God's best creations. in life, many will cross your path, few will carry on the journey with you. i consider myself lucky to have found at least one friend. maybe i have more that one.. but there's always only one friend with me at certain critical points in my life. they seem to rotate.. but it's usually just the good old ones.

beverley is my best friend.. or so we were. she's now living in canada, migrated almost 2 years ago. i still consider her my best friend because she's very dear to me. we ain't as close as before.. but i guess it can't be helped. to those who don't know our history.. this should save your confused minds.

bev's my schoolmate in mgs. the first time i met her was during a pe lesson in sec 2. i was in 2H, and bev was in 2T. it was near the end of the year.. around september i think. we were doing soccer for pe.. and that week, our teachers decided to let both our classes have a friendly. so, my team ended up playing against her's. so here's our first meeting. we didn't really talk until the ball was kicked way out of court that someone had to go retrieve it. it was only then, bev came up to me and ask "hi, did you rebond your hair?". haha.. i was quite stunned by her question, but i still replied her. that lead on to us talking subsequently as the game went on.

our first encounter was quite special in a sense,because we cliqued really well. like as though we already knew each other. after pe.. we were still chatting on the way back to class. our classrooms were just beside one another.. haha, what an amazingly fantastic coincidence. we sort of ended our conversation and i was going to enter my class. suddenly i felt a tap on my shoulder. i turned around and saw beverley. she came to ask for my number.. how sweet is that?! when she gave my her number, she ask if i know how to spell her name. i gave it a shot and i was wrong. "it's b-e-v-e-r-l-E-y.. not beverly. my name's not very common".haha.. she left a pretty deep impression after that day. well, God knows how but in the next year.. both of us ended up in the same class. =))

our friendship grew from there. it was really funny.. how our relationship changed over the months. everyone had the idea we were really good friends, some assumed we were best friends. then one fine day, bev asked.. "kristy, am i your best friend?" lol.. that statement started a conversation and at the end of it, we were best friends. haha.. yar, it sounds really dumb. sec 3 already and we're still behaving like primary school kids. of course it's not as simple as it sounds.. but we've been through alot to establish our friendship. we spent time together, talked about everything under the sun (and i mean literally everything!). we see each other 5 days a week.. but yet, we can still have conversations that last for hours during the days we don't see each other. she was thoughtful and caring and sweet.. the things she did for me touched my heart.

of course like in any friendship.. we had our share of quarrels too. we still disagreed on some things.. but usually it'll just end off with us moving on to another topic. i can only remember one major fight that we had which left us on a cold war with each other for days. definitely not easy during that period.. we didn't speak a single word. everyone in class could sense something wrong immediately. they tried to make things better but their efforts were futile. it was only after the 5th day(i think), that bev tried to interact with me. i, on the other hand, was being a ridiculously, irritating retard. i'm rather ashamed to say but my pride sort of got in the way. i eventually gave in too... well duh! i miss her so badly lah.. after this incident, we became closer. well, thank God i have such an understanding best friend.

even until now, when people ask who's my best friend.. i'll tell them "beverley". it's kind of sad when a strong relationship starts fading.. sigh. initially, bev would still call me at least once every 2 months. but soon.. the calls reduced. it's impossible to keep myself updated about her and everything that's going on in her life.. and that saddens me.

there's this one time.. i saw her on msn. she asked, "am i still your best friend?". "of course.. you'll always be my best friend!", i answered. then she explained that in one of my photos on friendster, the caption was 'best friend's baptism'(it was huiying).. so she thought i had a new best friend. hahaha.. so i clarified matters with her because she seemed quite upset that she wasn't my best friend anymore.. oh, this was just this year. haha.. have you met anyone as lovely as her?

hmm.. i just realised this summary is becoming a wee bit too long, maybe i ought to just dedicate this entry to beverley. well, bev does still come back to visit sometimes. she just came back during july last year.. hope she's coming back soon!


last july, when she came back. we were at her granny's place. her parents invited me over for dinner.. =)
