I know her during my A Level's time in Segi College, we were not that close until we started to have lunch together during the few hours breaktime between classes. And I'd say we got really really close when she started to join my church group meeting : )
Later only did I know that to her, first time seeing me, she thought that I am kinda arrogant and look fierce ( my 眼神 ) hahahaha
Her name is Laura Kong Hwee Lin. I call her nona. Used to call her dog. well she still is. Hahaha cos we have this group of animal friends, I am pig (I sound so proud eh? =_=) , my sis Ebon Tan is monkey, Ivy Chiew is Polar bear, Hui Yen is Donkey, Timaomao is duck quack quack (cos I used to tease him as ah kua hahaha), Damud is Owl ( cos he is the most serious in studies, well at least in my impression of him), Kevin as the Rhino, and Shuhorng as the giraffe. New member is laopo cherry as panda because........ hahaha *secret * bing bing undecided because I cant figure out which animal is the hiao-est. hahahaha
Ya, so I consider that we got very close since the time we attend group meeting together at Sis Cindy and Bro Stulos' house together everyweek. With polar ibychiew and ebontan. We sang hymns+campus songs together, we read and studied bible together, we made prayers together. We swam at Sis Cindy's place together. We cooked together. We made mooncake together, we had a lot of blendings together. How much I miss those days.
Throughout A Level, our friendship bond become stronger and stronger, due to the church meetings and all that, she got so close to my sis too, and eventually my mum as well. My mum loves her a lot. I think every mum knows and they can tell which friend of ours can be our friend and they are always right. In fact, my mum trusts her more than me. Cos I am blur, noob, careless, irresponsible and mum always has faith in nona that she ll take care of me.
Why am I writing this? She is leaving tomorrow to Brisbane. Initially it is our plan to finish our degree together in Brisbane but I left her to go on with the plan alone. It is so much cheaper studying in UK that I opted for continuing my final year in Newcastle and of which clearly explains why am I here right now. Urgh. Two years in Brisbane. To study together, live together, perhaps part time work together, travel together, learn new things together and meet new people together. Our initial plan.
Ok I may make this sound like we are lesbians already but she is definitely more than friend. She is my family already. Not only my mum, even my Q Meh (my auntie in Hakka) used to call nona to join us for dinner/xmas event/whatever occasion. When my cousin Ah Fook passed away, she was there for us and with us too.
Being in and out of relationships, she was there with me. Each and everytime of my breakups moments, I'd tell her please slap me the next time I'm falling in love so that I will not, fall in the trap again, and be heartbroken again. Of course she never did..
How would I describe her? A true friend. Not any friend that you can easily meet out there, not hi-bye friend, not gossip friend, not shopping friend, not ngam key friend. But a friend, the friend. If only you can to befriend her, you'd know. You 're lucky. No, I am not exaggerating any of these.
Soon enough, she befriended a few circle of my friends, in particular cherry, bing bing and even their friends, for eg Rosemary. In short, she is likable by any person in this world unless you are retard or insane or crazy or mad.
I am very emotional right now, I know I may sound ridiculous, two years only mah~ some of you may say BUT. I used to do this back in Kuching.
*makes phone call
me: nona, u at home? get ready, im going over ur house now, reaching in 10 minutes( or sometimes even 5 minutes.)
her:ha??i havent...bath oi. oi oi
*tutt....* *I hang up the phone*
argh. How to say this.. we just go out like as if we are family members already, we do not need appointments/dates/plans/whatever you call it. Back in january when I went back for winter holiday, we actually felt shi jie will mo ri. Because we thought of this day, will come. This thing will happen.
Find her in Brisbane? Of course I will, but it is not like I am rich, I dont have to study, etc etc, and IT IS DIFFERENT.totallydifferent.
IN CONCLUSION, NONA KONG NGO HOU MM SEH TAT LEI AH. lu mesti skype dengan saya ok kalau tidak saya tendang burit kamu.
p/s: I MISS U T_T i know Ebon definitely feels the most difficult right now. And you...leaving your home, family, auntie uncle ah beng. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM please take care dont ngapat.sekian terima kasut
