10

It's the same thing every year. Every time one of closest friend's birthday comes around, the whole nation celebrates with him - on national day.

Come the end of this year I would have known him for 10 years. Within these 10 years we have grown much. I can't quite believe our friendship has been so long-lasting. I remember one of my teachers saying that friends made in secondary school are forever. If I didn't believe him then, I believe him now.

Thank you , Cedric for being such a faithful friend and brother.

And happy birthday!

Post-script

Something funny happened when I messaged him Happy Birthday.

Apparently a few of us band people messaged him at the same time also. So he added two and two and messaged back:

you all together ah?

Improvising, I told him to look out his window immediately. By this time, the few band people who messaged him were already happily chatting away in the msn window. Imagine our reaction when we read his next message.

which window?

I think that message made my entire day sia.
