my friend jamie

see right. I've got this friend and her name is Jamie. She is one of my very very very special friends and she belongs to my secret secret society which not many people are allowed to be in. She knows almost all my secrets and for the most part, she's important because she's one of the rare few who actually is empathetic about the peope who have gone away. she is one of the few people who actually can comprehend and understand why, even after 4 years I still feel homesick, why I get these huge bouts of homesickness time and time again. And really, not many people can understand that. She does silly things with me when I want to too, like ice-cream, tanning when she really doesn't want to BUT just because I want to do such a boh-liao thing. She'll listen to me talk about WU-ZHUN until the cows come home and she condones, yes, she condones my potato chinese.

One of the more important things though, is that she's one of the few that doesn't judge...and not many people can do that. She lets me be the crazy girl that i want, and she respects me. But I know that at the same time, I can count on her to stop me right smack in my tracks when I start utterly misbehaving and doing all sorts of things that "normal" people, yes even normal people don't do.

But the point of this post is that....It was Jamie's birthday a few days ago, and though it wasn't an all depressing birthday, it could have been better. definitely alot better. I mean who am I to say that more could be done, since i'm a gazillon miles away (ok that's exaggerating!). but i know i would have done more, if i was there. A few years more girl. I promise you'll have a blast!! But I mean sometimes you know, no matter how nice someone is, they do need to feel appreciated sometimes. Because it's good to be appreciated. it's a fantastic warm feeling to be appreciated you know....

P.s. I haven't forgotten about Hongkong. Freshfields. Freshfields. Please please please. I will not say I-want for the rest of the year if i get the place. and mum, i'm seriously willing to change my name to Lai-I-Want, if you promise me that the place is MINE!!!
