far away...

a friend whom i have known for 19 years ... will be embarking on a journey tomorrow. And i know that she'll be fine... with her headstrong character and all... being emotionally strong and all (pretty different from me).

Knowing that I will not be seeing her as often, that when I am back in sg for my summer she might be staying on in UK for her winter break... that she will probably not be back for quite a bit of CNYs to come... i miss her presence.

and i hope that she will grow into a fine young lady, someone's who's alert, reliable, fun-loving and mature. and a great lawyer. and she has her own fair share of what she wants in her life... who she wants... and how she wants it to be... never really could manage her in that aspect, but only advise in hope that she understands and changes...

so dearest sister... may you soar to greater heights. Find out who you really are. Experience and test yourself. Push yourself to the limits. Explore. Find out what defines you. and I hope that you will be loving towards our parents... and express that more often. i miss ur innocence, and sometimes i do feel that you have grown too fast for me to grasp your changes, but i ask for your patience that you understand it takes time for us to get use to who you are now... May age not dampen ur bubbliness; may experience make you wiser... ; and maybe you grow lovelier. Keep in touch always dear sis... i may not be the most interesting friend you have but we do have quite a bit to share somehow.

and no matter who you are, keep this in mind... we love you. as much as we nag at you or express unhappiness in the things you do sometimes because you are different somehow... we still love you.

all the best! :)
