....13/17

...heck that's way more than half.

It's been 13 years since I knew this guy. We were bout 4 years old back then. And I've been wishing him "Happy Birthday" for all 13 years that I know him..

..and I'll never get bored of it.

Here's to the 13th year,

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY DEAR DAO WEI!

I still remember myself blogging about Dao Wei's birthday last year. Everytime I blog or talk about Dao Wei, I just can't help it but to mention how long we've known each other so well, and how it all started.. cos it is something I am very glad and proud of.

It's like.. how many people in this world has a friend so close and great for 13 years and still for many more years to come?

I doubt you can remember what I posted last year. Or perhaps you might not even read it before.

So here's to a very new beginning again.


We were bout 4 years old, and we went to the same art classes. But we never got very close then though.

When we a year older, coinsidently we went to the same kindergarten, Brain Child. I only did one year on kindie in Brain Child, and I left to the Q-Dees Kindergarten (now widely known as Child Enrichment Centre).

Then, I thought that I would never see that mushroom head Dao Wei anymore.

I was 6 years old when I started in Q-dees. I still remember freshly in mind how my parents dropped me off at the kindie on the first day in Q-Dees. I went in my assigned class, and I met a boy who I noticed from the back.

Thinking to myself,

"Hey he looks really familiar ahh.."


I can never forget Dao Wei's mushroom hair. It is sooooooooooooo cute really like mushroom. Just that it's really black, and with his super fair skin and red lips with really big round eyes.

Oh my. How was I suppose to forget that mushroom hair boy, I told myself. Too bad I can't show you how he looked like last time.

Ahahh.

I still remember very clearly how Dao Wei wanted to kill me when we were 6 years old. In kindergarten, we have swimming lessons.

I don't know what was that mushroom hair boy's intension that time but he pulled my legs and made me fall into the pool. MIND YOU I wasn't using any floats, and I didn't know how to swim then.

Yes, he wanted to drown me. He was thaaaaaaaatt close in succeeding, but HAH! Too bad, I was saved!


After we finished kindergarten, it's time to grow up, wear uglier uniforms, start bringing text books and walk our first steps in the primary school.

That was when I thought I was pretty sure and thought that,

"Ahhh this time confirm the mushroom hair murderer won't be same school as me lahh"


I went to Sekolah Kebangsaan Seafield in USJ6 from Primary 1 to 6. And guess who I met again?

Yes, the red-lipped mushroom hair boy who attempted murder.

Not the same class though, but in the same school once again.


Did I mention how we used to really like one another back then? To think of it now, it's really very cute. That feeling of ours continued on for years man, like for bout 6-7 years till we hit high school.

Everytime he talks about the past to me, I just can't help but start smiling and giggling. Those were to real good and cute times man. I mean, c'mon. 6 years old is a little bit too young to start liking somebody right? And having the feeling to go on for so many years later? Ahah.

So that makes 8 years of our friendship.

We finished primary school, and time to head one more step higher. The road to high school was then trodden black.

It was then once again, I met dear ol' Dao Wei in the same high school, which is our current school, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seafield. We never got to be in the same class, but that never really made us drifted away.

Although there are times where we don't talk as much, or we don't always share our secrets together, or talk about our ups and downs, but there's not a single second where I would ever forget him.

5 years in high school. So this year of 2007, has been our amazingly 13th year of friendship.

It is merely impossible to forget whatever that has happened between Dao Wei and I.


Here's a small celebration Becky and I planned for Dao Wei on his birthday this year at Secret Recipe.

And that's crazy Ikhwan beside him. You can tell by his facial expression, I'm sure.

I told Dao Wei that I really like this picture of him. I think I caught the best angle. Oh it's so 'photography'! Lol.. no lah, you look good all the time budd. ;)

After we were done eating with the cake, Dao Wei wanted to doll somebody up on his birthday.

 

After Secret Recipe, we headed to Dao Wei's second home, Starbucks.

He's always there, and I mean always. Almost every single day studying there. Thanks to him, now he got the Starbucks habit in me too. 

Not a very rich habit to do, but well.... at least my dear ol' budd's doing it with me. I'm not alone. =)

And here's something I really want to let you know, Dao Wei.


There are times when we don't always tell each other everything.
There are times when we might not talk just as much.

Although I might not be the friend who you would first call up to share a good news or to share a problem, but I'm always more than grateful to hear from you, even just for a simple hello.

Sometimes things might go wrong and the day just wouldn't seem so right for you.. And whenever those sort of problems arise, I assure you that I will never be the friend that would hide in a hole just so to avoid sharing your problems, and only come out from the tiny hole when everything is okay.

I will take the walk together with you. Be it for the harsh or the good times, I will be there for you, and fight for every of your rights and solve any of your problems that I am capable of, just like what you have always done for me.

I cannot promise you that all the days would be bright. Neither can I promise you that nothing will ever go wrong. There is nothing that I would dare to assure you with one hundred percent, except for my support for you and this ever long-lasting friendship of ours.

I mean it when I said that it is merely impossible to forget you. And that there is not even a single second where I would ever forget you...

...because you are this close to me.. and right there in my heart..

..always.


I'm very thankful for God granted me someone like you. You have been an awesome friend, though there are times when you might be a pain in an ass, but hey.. that's all part of life.

I bet there are times when I get on your nerves. I don't know if I ever did hurt or annoyed you in a way. But if I did, I sincerely apologise... from the bottom of my heart.

Because I believe that it is worth to do anything and everything for this friendship of ours.

I never really told you how much you meant to me.

You mean hell a lot to me, and I love you in every way, always had and always will.


People might ask me at times, who's my favourite racer since I do watch F1 at times.

No it's not Alonso. Or Massa. Or Schumacher.

It's not any of those.







He's always the number 1 racer in my heart. I don't care if he's not as skillful yet as Alonso and all that shit, but the fact that he made it through as a racer, as a friend, I am more than proud.

Some people like to say that...

"Alahhhh racing only mah, I also can lah. Easy only."

It's not as simple like what you think. It requires a lot of determination, courage and effort. It's not just some 'lalas' drifting some cheap cars or something.

Knowing that my dear ol' budd here has made it through that far in racing, and all the effort he had put in to be at that spot, I'm very happy for him.

Although I have not watched you raced before Dao Wei, and although you might not have won the championship title yet, but in my heart, you're already a champion. ;)

Love you always, Happy 17th Birthday Dao Wei.



Yours truly,
Cheryl, much love <3.
