BIHZHU

It was an unlikely turn of events that had us wondering to ourselves, just how the both of us could actually be such close friends. It still amazes us today :) Although various reasons and circumstances have put us apart more in the past few years, we somehow still have a place for each other deep in our hearts. Like this Friendster testimonial I wrote for you, Nicole, 3 years ago, "Bihzhu and me have this very special bond that did not happen by chance nor did it happen quickly. Thats what happens when you really take time to sit down, really talk and get to know a person. We're so different in an abundance of ways, but yet we are on the same page about a million things. She can be really nasty, so dont try to be a smart-ass with her, she'll give you the look (believe me, u dont wanna see it). Now, i'm not even gonna talk about her voice; first of all becoz its over-mentioned, secondly, people should not just keep their ears peeled but their hearts, eyes and minds as well coz her singing abilities arent the only things great about her :) She's got this fiery drive in her thats raring to explode and with the right training, she'd be really successful at what she does, be it one thing or many. She cant stand many people, but she takes my shit and thats all that matters. Bihzhu, you know i love ya, and since you're so 'perasan', i have every right to be with you too, coz i know you love me too! ;)". Here's to a great gal with a big voice; and an even bigger personality and heart.

TING TING

I met Mei Ling through Elina, and although she appeared stuck-up at first look, I still took the trouble to talk to her and be there for her when she was down in the dumps; all this in the first meeting! Needless to say, a wonderful friendship was born and I absolutely enjoy spending time with this Malaysian version of Carrie Bradshaw *haha* (not like I know what Miss Bradshaw is like, but that's what I hear people refer Mei Ling as!). She's a real softie deep down actually, and a wonderful 'punching bag' for me :) At least that's coz I know all the right buttons to push *heh heh*

LINS

Elina is a cool chick :) We're not the big "hahaha" kinda friends, but when we have our laughs, the "hahaha"s get pretty loud. We're not the deep conversationalist kinda friends, but when we do talk sometimes, things can go pretty deep or casual or cool, depending on the time and mood. We're not the "Oh, I'm so close a friend to you that I must hug you every time I see you" kinda friends, but we do hug because we're close friends and I miss seeing her as often as we used to meet.

Make any sense? I guess not at first glance, but am sure you know what I mean :) We used to hang out every single day, with the rest of the gals; but although we don't as often as before, she's still a cool chick in my book. One I can call my friend :)

BEKS

When I first saw Bek Yee in the old Tijuana's Cafe opposite Taylors College back in 1997, I thought she was one cool fierce looking gangster chick. I never got to know her of course, till 2004. Me and Beks are cool together coz we belong in the same 'ahbeng and ahlien' clan, with as equally stupid 'ahbeng and ahlien' tendencies and killer dance moves and jokes! *haha* Great girl, with a heart to help, and a wonderful friend who would always take a hit for the team. Oh! She's great fun also coz she loves to eat and do all the boy-stuff! Hahaha...

MUI TAO

Leng Leng is a little Doraemon :) Well, that's what I call her sometimes. She's a cutie, and a real sweetheart. I know, no comparison with the Japanese cartoon right? That's coz there isn't! When I first saw her at a production house, I thought she was 12! I still think she is now *haha* She's wonderfully original in her own unique way, her inquisitiveness is so unorthodox, I struggle to decide whether to get upset, roll my eyes, laugh or just pinch her. Most of the time, I choose to answer her of course. A little sister to me, she's a kind friend, one who genuinely cares for people and for things around her; a girl who deserves way more credit than she gets, for the various things she does. Believe me, she's a real tough cookie too! ;) I'll pick her to be on my team any day!
