tribute to the birthday girls!!!! Shera, Hana n Nina!!!

my teenage years was quite a hell. my family had a huge problem back then. i was a depressed girl wearing a double mask in order to save the sanity of my mind - a frustrated girl at home, a cheerful loud girl at school. it was a dark and sad time. my foundation was crumbling. i had no belief in normalcy no more.

but then, thank God i have my friends to save my ass.

today, 10th october 2010 is the twentieth birthday of three of my most important childhood friends. their friendships are priceless - cannot be compared with anything in this world. they were there for me when i was at the lowest. honestly speaking, without them - i would probably be admitted into Tanjung Rambutan by now.

they are - Shera, Hana n Hannina.

looking very innocent in my school uniform, am i not?? hehehe

Shera.... haha, what can i say about Shera? the kindest person i've ever met in my life. what have i done in my previous life to have such a good friend? Shera is the kind of person who would never say a bad thing about the person she loves. her optimism often balances my extreme pessimism in life. she is the one you would rely your trust to. and yes, she's VERY VERY KIND!! no, seriously.

 Hana... my cool dude. laid-back, relaxed yet passionate in what she does. she may seem quiet but hell, she's the greatest listener to my problems and knows my deepest darkest secrets of all. i often refer her as the 'calmer, more rational and less louder' version of me. we have similar thinking, stands, principles and even share the same realism and pessimism. we both love art and music - the main driving force in our lives - except for law and engineering of course, hehe...

Hannina... CHEERFUL! CHEERFUL! CHEERFUL! Nina also serves as the balance of my circles of friendship. she has a thinking very dissimilar to mine. different thoughts, different beliefs. compassionate and very thoughtful to others. we would swear, she would reply with cute japanese expressions. active, lively - totally opposed to us lazy-bums who has no spirit to lead life in such a cheerful way.

my foundation might have crumbled, but not my confidence. thanks to them. they are the group of friends who care nothing about how i look - instead they value my abnormal attitude and shocking behaviour. because of them, i found myself and the person i wanted to be.

i still remembered how we would hang out with our other friends at school, gossiping endlessly. we laughed, cried, did some crazy stuffs together. 

we have been living apart for years now. but distant never seemed like a problem. we would call each other up for every trouble and we know the deepest of secrets among us all. and their families have treated me like one of their own.

i believe that humans are given very few chances to be met with their lifetime friends. i am glad that i have been given the chance to meet with them. 

i am glad that my teenage years was filled with such friends. and now too.


*arghhh... cannot wait to graduate, earn our own money and go travel the world together!! hahaha*
