i miss ling.
 Friendships that will last.
I miss Ling. For one entire year, the SALA sisters are not going to be able to hold sleepovers, go out shopping, eating, play truth or dare, go on holidays together... Not all together, at least. And when one is gone, something's just missing. It's this funny aching feeling in your heart when you know that a piece of it is missing. In this way, April, Ling and Sarah are already engraved in my heart and when they leave, it hurts. So it's one down, and Ling's gone for a year. In three weeks time, April goes and it's just down to me and Rah. I don't know how it's going to be like, but thank God I still have my youngest sister. :) I've never had siblings, so in a way, April, Ling and Rah are the sisters that I never had. I can tell them anything, and I know that I can just trust them with my life. April's the eldest sister, with that calm head of hers and always cooking for us and making sure we are well fed. She also gets bullied the most. HAHA. Ling's the third one, she's super stubborn and she snores (deep breathing according to her), but she's able to crack us all up with her endless instigation of bullying April. LOL. Rah's the baby of the four of us, she's small and cute and laughs at silly things like "boon hui", "peh peh" and "buku latihan". (And yes, I'm AM inspired by that Hong Kong drama serial, "Family Man", where it tells the story of four sisters.)
I hate it how everything is going to change. It seemed like just yesterday when we met during the China trip 2000, and how we were enjoying ourselves in SCGS. Even after that, when we went to different junior colleges, we knew that we'd still get to see each other often cos meeting up is never a problem in this small country we live in. But now, Ling and April have gone and are going away. And it's now a thirteen hour thousand over dollar problem we face with just to meet up again. No doubt, they're just a phone call or an email away, but they'll never be physically there for my twentieth, twenty-first and twenty-second birthdays, Christmases, Easters (Okay, we don't celebrate Easter together, but it's just to make it sound more sad) and other significant events. Hong Kong this year was amazing, it brought us closer together again and bonded us like it did in China. I'm so thankful for the three of them, I'm so thankful that God has blessed our friendship greatly over these five years.
*Just got an email from Ling. She's all fine and sounds like she's having fun... SIGH. Lucky her. London is way cooler than Singapore.
April, Ling and Rah are treasures found one in a million, and it's so hard to find a friendship where four girls are able to get along so well, and understand one another inside out. But I've found it, and it's here to stay. The next four years might be tough, but we'll still have the rest of our lives together. :)
