Dryxanne’s Confessions

dont even think about it!

if u expect to read some more thing about d film starred by Julia Roberts, then please leave this page. I’m not gonna talk about the film, though i am gonna talk about MY best friend’s wedding…

well i do have more than one best friend, but this one can be considered the longest one in friendship with me…

Yesterday was my best friend’s wedding day…cant believe the day finally arrived…few months ago, i remember we had a talk where i knew that her then boyfriend (now hubby) had proposed to her and her family, and the wedding plan was on d way…i guess at dat time i was a lil behind on the news, so i was quite surprised to hear dat…but seeing how happy she was (n excited n worried at d same time), i was happy too…

time flies so fast indeed…last nite, when i was about to sleep, i thought, now she’s on d way to airport for her hunnymuun…soon she’ll be back again n start her new life…it feels just like yesterday, when we were stil in college, or when we were in hi school, junior hi, when i would stop by her house after we had english course, and had long hours conversations…remembering d hi school farewell nite, was d only time i ever spent the nite at her house though we’d been close friends for 7 years dat time…

we knew each other thru a very weird way…at 5th grade Primary school…her classroom was on the Ground floor, while mine was on 1 floor above. That time i had a crush on a boy,who was (by rumours) paired with Har…i was curious, n 1 day i knew which one was her. Oh u must think i’d get jealous on her, or hate her…strange is, i was not. In fact, i started to tease her (with my friends from the higher floor) with the boy…later, on 6th grade, i got into same class but i barely ever spoke to her…until one day, one incident with the vase on teacher’s table, thats when we started to speak i think…from there, we just became friends…she didnt dare to take public transport, she’d always walk home though its quite a distance frm school…i taught her to be brave n since then she took the public transport everyday with me coz our house was on d same route…later, she was the brave one to accompany me everytime course time came coz i was stalked by a crazy guy…yeah dont laugh, it was true….

oh n we had a play family where i was her granny, she was my 3rd granddaughter…that play carried on til now dat she cant call my name anymore…she used to call me "nenek", then one day she changed to Granny…sometimes she would call me just Gran…when i asked her why, she said Granny sounds more cool hehe….

then we entered the same junior hi school…we entered the same english course (she asked me to join). Thats where our friendship got reduced 1 year coz of stupid fight (ok, my fault) n cold war afterwards haha…it was funny to remember, n until now if we happen to count how long we’ve been friends, she would tease me about it…

Then came hi school…we stil entered the same hi school…well i was a bit not as closed as before…she has her gank (COBRA) with 4 other girls. We just did our own things as usual, n i quit the english course but she didnt. But then we joined the same chemistry n Physics course, so we stil kept in touch. Final year of hi school, she (again) asked me of joining another new english course. We (and the rest of the COBRA girls) spent a great year during d course…great times they were, where they celebrated my 17 birthday with a salted cake (girls, i stil think i was a fool to believe Xtine at that time!!) during d course…

College time, we separated…she chose graphic design (she’s really good at that, she’s always this creative n imaginative girl…she can make everything, accessories, paintings, mini stuff animals…only thing she couldnt do is sewing using sewing machine haha….). She did it very well and graduated faster than me. Gave me one of her final project items (a wall clock with background of her final project’s theme). Then working time began…but since we lived quite close our dorms were only 3 houses apart, we stil hung out a lot, til she moved to my dorm. We once again had great times, late nite dinner of only noodles n cheese n corned beef at the "internet" (yup, once again she teased me that i never even ate at "internet), plus we were now in d same dorm wit 2 other COBRA girls…

Boyfriends come n go, tears n laughter, birthdays, presents…almost 3 years passed from d day she moved to our dorm, n now she’s about to move out…the room she moved into, i was planning to take it but then i gave it to her…at dat time i thought, what’s a room? i’d give it to have a best friend moving in…then sometimes when i thought about how much i wanted the room, i knew there was no chance to get d room unless she moved out, n i never wanna see her moving out coz dat will mean farewell again…n now eventually i got the room n she actually moving out, its just so sad…i’d give back d room if by that she wouldnt have to move out, but hey, she’s married now…

now i sound like im in love with her haha…

no…actually if i were a guy, i would fall in love with her too…as many guys did. She has a lot of fans, n now after years, i know why they fell for her…n to have her as one of my closest friends, is a gift i’d always be thankful for…

Yesterday at d church, i cried a bit…got carried away, i guess…it felt like a dream to hear her getting married, n when it really happened, the reality was so overwhelming…suddenly i was afraid i was gonna lose a great close friend…things wont be d same anymore…d dorm wont be d same without her anymore…well we maybe will stil meet sometimes with the rest of d girls, but stil wont be d same now dat she’s married…soon she will have kids, n join d mommy club (n be d coolest mom, i bet haha….).

so many memories i can not write down one by one, n through d years, she’s been very wonderful as a friend…she always was there, reminded me of things i shoudnt do, but then stil be there for me to cry when i did those things n regretted d results…she was always d "manja" one but also the mature one when least expected…n we shared a lot of similarities with the Tiochiu blood from our Moms sides…those similarities dat made us laugh n disliked some certain things only us could understand…

im now passing 25…i knew her since 10 years old…we’ve been friends for more than 15 years (well 14, if u dont count d cold war period…). We’ll be friends for more years to come, hopefully more than another 15 years…n one day, maybe we will once again sitting face to face, having noodles wit cheese n corned beef, on d road side…n then walk home with her arms cuddling to mine (she always "manja", i told u!). Friends for now, Friends forever….

For Har, my longest best friend ever…Walk into ur new life n embrace d coming joys in ur life Wish u a life-long marriage…Thanks for the 15 years (yeah i will always count it 15..) of our friendship…Will always love u n be there for u…

Granny

PS: if we do pass 50 years of friendship, i would like to hold a Golden Celebration!! and this is a promise!!
