25th of September.
Sisters Day.

I bet Xinyi and me are the only ones who remember this... Xinyi wrote on my birthday card saying: 2 more days to anniversary!

I was like shocked that she remembers! But then, she is very good at remembering dates. Hahas. Please dont think wrongly. Its our Sisters Day Anniversary, not marriage or engagement.

Actually, im not really sure whether if today's its the anniversary. Cause all of us forgot the date that we actually swore. But i knew it was after my birthday and its not 24th. So, we made it 25th.

I remembered the time when we did the swore thingy.

I dont know what ignites us to do it. Maybe its because we watch a Tv programme where 2 girls became sworn sister. Maybe we always felt that we should be sisters but anyway, we discussed which method we wanted to use.

We didnt want the poke the fingers with needle and let the blood drip and mix them together. I was afraid of blood, Xinyi was afraid of pain and Yiling was afraid of both. So we decided to keep it simple. Just swear.

We went to then highest level in the school. It was not a level, actually. There were a few steps to the place but after the steps, it was blocked by a locked door. None of us ever went in that place. But one of my friends, said he went in before and its a hall.

I think he is lying cause he loves to boast -.-

The place is so called haunted. Cause its dark. But when we went up there, there were nobody. So we kneel down and began to swear.

And then, Yiling had to spoil the atmosphere by laughing loudly. In the end, all of us got infected and were giggling through the whole thingy.

I felt so blessed and lucky. I never imagined that i would ever be friends with Yiling or Xinyi. Seriously. Who would have thought?

Xinyi, from young, was my class most popular girl. She was so damn nice. And Yiling and Sze keat were her best friends. I did talk to them, i did sat with them during recess time but it was so formal. And i was the quiet girl in the class, never talked nor laugh. I dont think anyone know my existence.

Then one day, during the last few weeks of Primary 4, the teacher brought us to the computer lab to play. Xinyi sat beside me and we chatted. I couldnt believe that we almost hitted off together.

And then, the starting of Primary 5. Prico, Stanley and Joshua, Alicia (Yes, Alicia Neo) and Sihui were new to the class. Prico sat behind me and Xinyi, alone. She asked me if she could exchange places with me cause she is new to the class and wanted to make friends. So being the very nice girl, i gave up the chance of sitting with Xinyi to Prico.

But still, nothing changed. And through Xinyi, i knew Yiling. She was a joker and always laugh without fail. And then, we became best of friends. And the sisters thing started. If you wondered why Sihui was not with us in the very beggining, heres why.

Sorry to say, but i always thought that Sihui is the kind of girl who looks down on other people. She always sit cross-legged, heads held high like some kind of 'high-class' lady. I never dislike her but she looks very unfriendly.

And then, Primary 6 came. Sihui was a prefect at that time. We had this 'buddy' system and had to take care of the primary ones during recess. Each of us were assigned to one or two kids. Sihui had duty and so, me, Xinyi and Yiling helped to take care of her buddy.

It was then, i realised that she wasnt snotty at all. And we became normal friends. The reason why we wanted her to be part of us was because we pitied her. Sorry again. But i remembered that time, she was very upset because she was betrayed by somebody. I felt so sad for her because i know the taste of having no friends and all of us decided to add her in.

But, im glad that we made that choice. It must have been a blessing in disguise. We felt that she always had been one of us. And even thought we didnt do the swear thingy again (cause too troublesome), we always treat her as one of us.

Like that time when we went out. Me, Xinyi and Yiling wanted to take neoprints but in the end we didnt. Because without Sihui, it seems different. And, if 3 people take photos, it will be unlucky and so we didnt take it in the end.

We had been through so many things. There was this time, i hated Prico. I remembered that when we were P5 or 6, we had to put up a dance performance for the Teacher's Day Concert. Everyone came to my house and practised.

Prico was the leader and she brought the CD to my house and we try it out. She praised me, saying i dance very well. And guess what, the next day, Yiling told me that Prico bad mouth me. Prico said that im very skinny, dance until so ugly, blahblahblah.

And from that time, i hated her. I mean, if she thinks that i dance so badly, why praised me? Most of all, why talked behind my back? Tell me that i danced badly and i will try to improve! So two-faced.

In Primary 6, Xinyi hanged out with her. We didnt mind because it was her choice to be who she wants to. But after some time, we found that she changed, totally.

I dont know what she changed into but i remember i fought with her because of this matter. I didnt talked to her for 3 days and it hurts me alot. Its so hard for me to not talk to her and everyone was unhappy about it.

Finally, Sihui, Yiling and me decided to talk to Xinyi. During chinese lesson, we had a good talk. Why chinese lesson leh? Cause nobody cares about chinese. Everything also copy. And i meant everything. I never did a single chinese homework in P6. Dont ask me how i got A for my PSLE.

Anyway, we told her our views and we stopped fighting. Xinyi was back to normal and it was a relief. For you info, i do not hate Prico anymore. Its so long ago and i just treat her as an ex-classmate now.

We would fight and get jealous over each other. We would get angry and cry for each other. But we would always forgive each other and laugh over the childish actions we done.

The four of us always have a blast together. No matter where we go, it was always fun. We didnt have to make fun. Fun just come. Sometimes, i think that they know me better than myself. They accepted me the way i am. And no one can replace them. Cause together, they are unique.

Such people, are hard to find. Some people cant find it their whole lives and some only find it after years. I am very grateful that we met so early. I dont think i can find anyone else better than them. We have this special bond that cant be break.

For only 2 years, we developed a close friendship. I really think its a miracle. I mean, i know my secondary friends for 2 years also but i dont feel the closeness like i do with them. This kind of feeling is hard to explain.

Xinyi and i are so closed that we actually hoped to live with each other. Then, we would always have fun together! But the main point is, Yiling, Sihui and Xinyi are my best friends. Even my current friends cannot compare to them. So yes, this is how close i am to them.

Now, its already been 4 years since we got to know each other. Its our 3rd anniversary. We used to buy presents for one another but since we are living so far, we dropped the idea. I miss them alot.

They always gave in to me. No matter how unreasonable i am, or how stubborn i am, they never lose their temper. It was always me who bully them because they are nice. Everyday, I would use Xinyi's pen. If i was Xinyi, i would already yell because i am not a pen sponserer. But she never once blamed me.

Yiling was always there when i need her. I remembered that i always lose my things and everytime, i had to go to Lost and Found. It was Yiling who make the countless trips to General Office with me. She listened to my troubles and helped me solve them.

The girly side of me was brought out by Sihui. Sihui, was the one who taught me how to act more like a girl. I used to hang out with boys. But Sihui inspired me to me more girly. Stop kicking around, stop yelling at boys, stop shouting vulgarities and be more refine. Hahas.

They never once looked down on me. They never laughed at me. And that is why they are my best friends.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
