My Best Friends of SGGS

Madelene Khaw and Tan Ni Wen.


I never could ask for better friends during that short yet long time we've known each other. We have always been there for one another. Encouragement helped build up our friendship.
We cry, laugh, joke, tease, walk, talk and scream together. We share our deepest thoughts and feelings with one another as well as talk about anything and everything under the sun, even if they doesn't make sense. We tell each other secrets and all those kinds of stupid little things that don't matter, but are important at the same time. We're upfront with one another. We point out each others' faults and flaws and we expect a change.
That is the kind of friendship we have. A friendship grounded on love and trust.


Ah yes. I remember those times we would annoy Cikgu Nurbaya with our chatter, laughter and the giggles during her moral class. We enjoyed writing and drawing silly things on scraps of paper and laughing afterwards until we went all teary-eyed at our collage of scribbles and hand-drawn pictures, something I'd like to call art. No wonder that poor teacher left the school.

Another memorable event - our night of 'Disturbia' was fun as much as it was scary. But when it came to the most exciting and nail-bitting (I don't know about you, but I bite my clean nails when I'm scared) moment in the film, the part where Shia Labeouf goes into his neighbour's house in the quest of finding his mom, the DVD decided to bail on us. So until now, we haven't seen the ending of 'Disturbia'. Nevertheless, we had so much fun screaming. Although half of the time, I covered my eyes with a pillow, watching it with Ni Wen and Madelene while holding hands, shouting every 1 minute or so, was definitely worth it.

Pictures of you, pictures of me, hanging on my wall, for the world to see...
