Best Friends? More like sisters.

You know when they say that a true friendship can only be determined through an array of fights and misunderstandings? Well, perhaps, I could prove otherwise.

I wasn't one to believe of friendships before. I always had the idea that people just come and go and that they would eventually walk out your life leaving nothing but memories, good and bad. I've considered many people to be my best friends, but as expected they all left my side and vanished into thin air. It wasn't until 2010, that I knew for sure, that I truly found someone I can genuinely call my best friend.

Cassandra Kimberly Lim Min Si was the first friend I made in Singapore, she was tardy and had to sit at the back of the line with me during the CCA orientation. Never did I thought that she'd be one of the few people I'd entrust everything with, but now that she is. I would never have it any other way. We are a complete foil of each other but somehow we managed to look through these differences and use them as an advantage to our friendship. Maybe that's why we never fought, because we completely liked different things. But what's weird is that even though we are so distinct from each other, it was like I found my long-lost sister when I found her.

This was probably the time Berlisse was formed, as well as AXAC! ;)

How time quickly passes by...

From the moment we ran together during PE, and then Cross Country, we were beyond inseparable. I was beginning to think that some friendships truly last and the wall I've had up for so long was finally falling apart. I was mad at the world when I was thirteen, but one person that guaranteed a real smile was Cassandra. And so, I will be forever grateful for that.

From being naive secondary ones, our friendship blossomed til' secondary two yo.

Now that you think of it, it sounds crazy that we didn't have any quarrels but even the small fights, there were none. We just got along so well, and from then on, I knew that I could count on her because she was there, in the worst, darkest days of my life so far, and I'm quite sure that she'd be there when I hit my lowest. And even though that sounds so devastating and tragic, it's true, she's just that dependable.

From serious heart to heart talks to crazy ass shenanigans to out of this world absurdity...

Beach adventures...

More beach adventures....

 AAAAND WE'RE SEXY AND WE KNOW IT! HAHA

Cassandra is Cassandra, it might be impossible to find another Cassandra such as this Cassandra.

But then come end of 2011, she had to go back to America, and I was in despair. The one friend I thought would never leave my side, was going halfway across the world. I mean, who wouldn't be heartbroken, right? It was like spending almost everyday with the same people, and then BAM! They're going away too. But the one misconception of long distance friendships and all, that I have encountered before, is that the literal and mental meaning. Because even though, she is miles away, and that she isn't physically beside me, she's always just a text away and still upholds the title of being my best friend rather significantly. Whenever I am having a bad day I will just message her and then she'd be comforting me. 

One of the saddest days, evah. :(

We've both had our fair share of ups and downs these past couple of months, and it's annoying that we're not around to witness each other's wins and losses. But if you're reading this up to this point, Cassandra, since you don't really read lots of things, I just want you to know that you're prolly one of the best gals I've ever come across in my life, other than my mom, you're the one that knows me the best. 

Things happen Cass, whether we like 'em to or not. We may not want it to go a certain direction and for a while we might sulk about it but that's just how it is. Things fall apart, sometimes. But you know what? These things might just be replaced for something better. I didn't know how to tell you this before because when you jump, I jump, and when you cry, I feel devastated. So I'm not telling you this because I want you to change your ways, but I'm telling you this because I know you can. You're strong. Well, not so literally, haha, but you're strong from within. I've told you this before but I'm going to keep telling you this until you finally figure it out. :P

It's weird how we can still laugh at each other when we're seas apart! 

So Cassandra, you always wrote to me that I helped you get out of your shell in Secondary 1, that goes both ways. Because you knew all my deepest, darkest secrets and yet you remained to be my friend for all these years. The truth is I merely helped, you were cheerful and bubbly all along, but you, Alvina & Xin Er were the ones to pull me out from the Mariana trench. I don't know how I would repay you guys for being amazing, but I really wouldn't know what I would do without you. I just had to make a blog post man, there's a lot of things I wanted to tell you but it would have been embarrassed or lazy! to text you. So for now, let's settle for a simple, HAPPY SWEET SIXTEENTH CHUCKY CASSIDY KOOLAIDRIA / STRAWBERRY CREAM / SISTAH FREIND / ROO / MY RIGHT BUTTCHEEK / WALRUZZ / CASSANDRAKLMS / ETC. I hope you enjoy your day and always remember that I'm here for you always, and that I called dibs on many celebs / models you might encounter in the near future! haha

Remember when we tried to catch 7:11 rather than 11:11 because that's your birthdate? Weird times haha

And for the other readers, whether strangers, acquaintances, friends and foes, I'd like to express my deepest sincerity for reading up to this point. I've told you about my best friend, and I'm sure if you don't know yours yet, you'll find them sooner or later. Just remember that, a best friend, isn't someone you're always with, or the ones you spend everyday talking to, they're the person who knows everything about you and still remains by your side with no judgement whatsoever. Someone who you can laugh and cry with, or rate guys with (HAHAH!) , or even waiting in the airport at 4 in the morning for a plane that never came. Maybe someone like Cassidy! ;) 

Hehe, love you lots, gurl. xx hashtag no homo hahahah
