I meant to dedicate a post to you when you leave in exactly one month and a day's time, to tell you how much i miss you already: how much i wish you could be a (cheap) phonecall away whenever i need someone to listen to my long winded stories, whining, complaints, and rants; how much i wish we could go shopping in our cha chat-est clothes and try on nice branded winter fur coats and have you help me decide which of the prettier dresses i should pick; how much i wish you could drive (recklessly) over in fifteen minutes to just hang out in my room and talk, or to simply stone because i'm too lazy to leave the house, or bring me out for late night hawker suppers; how much i wish you were around because i know you'll always be there for me and go the extra mile for me because you truly care, and because i know you'll always be on my side even though we all try to be objective sometimes; how much i wish we could be sitting down in town somewhere having a nice long conversation about everything- how your cat died, how we were like when i was fifteen and you sixteen, how i hope to get married and how you want yourself a nice sporty girl, how music might evolve in ten years, how we'd be like in ten years, how you'll be a nice uncle to my kids and you'll dote on them terribly, and not forgetting bigger things like religion, morality, love (past loves), and food. :) (your favourite ice cream flavour is rum and raisin and mine is ___?!)
And then there'll be those moments that escape our minds on most days because of our day to day woes, but are likely to re-enter when an old memory is jolted by something we see, hear or even taste; these moments are the silly ones where we both burst out laughing when one does something terribly "cock" (in your words) and random, or when i say something i don't usually say but i say it anyway just to imitate you- "bo sim" being one of our favourites (which in truth sounds quite odd when i say it you must agree) ;)
just one of our many silly moments. :)
So this one's for you, my best friend, Gabriel. Half a decade its been (feels like ten doesn't it), here's cheers to the other half and many more other halves. Now find yourself a sexy exotic girl in Boston and have plenty of exotic looking kids in five years! ;) i love you! :) *hugs*
