Was tidying my pendrive when I came across this speech. It was presented during my EALD presention last year........Feel like sharing here....Ignore my broken English.....><
Many people will walk in and out of our life, but only true friends will leave footprints in our heart. I have 2 best friends, and they are Chee Shean and Yi Ting. The duration we get to know each other is not really long, only for about 3 years, but knowing them is one of the best things I ever have in my life. The first day when 2 of them were transferred to my school, I saw them outside the main office, not knowing what to do. I approached them and offered my help which they seemed to be in great need during that time. The first impression they gave me was that they are shy and quiet. After that, by chance, we were arranged to be in the same class.
Chee Shean and Yi Ting both came far from Gemas, somewhere near the border between Negeri Sembilan and Johor. They stayed with chee shean’s aunt in Malacca. Unlike me, both of them are very independent and self-disciplined. They are those kinds of typical good and obedient students in the class. As time went on, I befriend with them. Besides, they are also very kind to me. They were willing to sacrifice every of their Tuesday afternoon just to tutor me in the science subjects which I was weak in. I am very very grateful to them. My mum always tells me that these 2 girls are worth to befriend with.
In form 5, my study performance started to go down hill and I became very panic as SPM was approaching. And sometime around May, Chee Shean and Yi Ting informed me that they were going to move into a new apartment since chee shean’s aunt had been planning to migrate to Canada with her son. A thought suddenly came to my mind. Why dont I move in together with them? I can learn to be independent and more self-displined as well. After much persuasion, my parents eventually gave me a green card. But life wasn’t as easy as I thought. That was the 1st time I left home, my home sweet home to live in a rather small and simple apartment. There was no air-cond, no water heater, no refrigerator, no washing machine, no television, no computer and no nothing. In fact, the most and only valuable gadget in our little space was an old radio. And it’s also our only entertainment. We spent almost all of our time studying. Sometimes when the weather was getting really hot, we would go downstairs to a café, order a glass of cold drink and share together. Although we have no much entertainment, our life was full.
For the six- month-time, we were like triplet. We’re always together. I once came across an article saying that people who are of no relation but live together will look similar after some time. And I really think 3 of us do look like sisters.
When I fell sick, they accompany me to the clinic and took care of me. When I was lazy, they would pull me out from my bed to study. Even when I did something that hurt them, they would always forgive me.
I miss the time when we had our pillow talk, I miss the time when we burned midnight oil together, I miss the time when we sang aloud in the room, I miss the time when we cried together if one of us was sad. I miss every moment with them.
We have quite a lot of same interests. We love art and we love to read novel.
There was once when I annoyed my class teacher by forgetting to hand in the attendance list to her. She got really angry. The next day, she asked one of my classmates to inform me not to attend her class anymore. I was truly terrified at that time. Chee shean offered to accompany me to the office to apologize to the teacher. For 10 minutes, I was scolded by the teacher. But the whole thing was my fault. The only thing I can do was to beg for forgiveness and beg her not to dismiss me from her class. After we went out of the office, I saw chee shean crying. I was shocked. She said she just couldn’t stand the teacher’s lecture. I felt so guilty and touched at the same time. Even until now, the whole scene and the feeling of being given weight are still lingering in my heart.
Luck was with us. 3 of us got JPA scholarship and are now all separated apart. However, no matter how busy we are, we will still read each other’s blog every day. Last year during my birthday, they purposely came to Malacca just to celebrate my big day with me. Besides my family, they are the most important person in my life. I truly hope our friendship can last forever.
