dedicated to u

it was Feb 2004 when i first knew her. she was fair, 'free-hair', and speaks her mind out loud. that was my first impression. we didn't click straight away. she was not my lunch buddy. i didn't remember how we became close. i remember that i was invited for a lunch, a treat from our sales director, to celebrate her birthday - i was only two weeks old with the company, and i think it is cool if we got to have the fish-head curry everytime there were birthdays.. of course i found out she was very close with the sales director back then. that was my earliest memory i could remember... and now, after six years, those are ancient histories.

i don't remember how we could be close instantly.. but knowing her, sharing her thoughts, getting to know her opinions and feelings, we became close. if i were in primary school and the task was to write an essay that you admire most, i would write about her.. she reminds me the energetic yound blood during my mum's yesteryears.. and to add the drama on it, she's gone through so many things, that i would gave up on if it happened to me. started with a traumatised childhood, then she thought she was in love but then she was not (she was, but not to the right person), a single mother who had three miscarriages (but she is now blessed with that brainy lovely daughter of her), surviving the wild wild world all by herself.. agghh... she is a tough woman.. what made her tougher is that she still laugh and can make the people surroundings her laugh too.. it took a person with a special heart to do what she did..

she celebrated her fantabolous forty with style over the weekend.. she blew the candle in a microsecond that we thought she forgot to make her wish.. she said she did.. all she wishes for is for her to be happy.. and i wish for her to be happy too.. she deserves all the happiness and loves the she can have...

to this special woman, just want to let her know, if she ever thinks that she has made any (good) impact to anyone, she surely did to me. the steel heart , the strong will, the "God didn't test anyone if He thinks we can't face it" mantra, the positive notes, the been-there-done-that experiences, the fashionistas in her, the good sense of humour... she surely knew how to tell me to live the life..just because she's been there, without choice.

happy birthday dear.
