Dear Athan, It's finally 10th November, your birthday. I remember two years ago, when we celebrated your birthday at Cafe Cartel with my mom and Shannon. Time flies, and now you're turning sixteen.
I also remember how I first knew you in Sec 1, and we were going to KL with the choir, and we talked on the journey there. Neither of us knew that that was the start of our friendship. I told you a lot of silly stuff then, and now I still laugh when I occasionally recall those good memories.
Then there was Sing Out 2006, SYF 2007, Sing Out 2007, Sing Out 2008, Korea 2008 and SYF 2009.. These are all experiences that money cannot buy. And I'm really glad for all these experiences that we have shared as one HIHS Choir.
Remember in Sec 2, one day before Sing Out, that you cried? Although I occasionally mentioned it, I never told you that you scared me stiff, did I? That day was really scary for me, and I will remember it forever.
And there are times when I lost my temper at you, sometimes because you did something, other times because you did not do anything. You were just so silly it irritated me, but I forgave you in the end. I know you just want to make the people around you happy, but never do it to the extent that you make yourself unhappy, alright?
So I made a short video, with all your photos that I have. It's not a materialistic present, but I hope you will treasure it forever, as our friendship lasts through the years. Despite all the silly things you do, you will be my friend forever.
Thank you also, for always tolerating my nonsense. I know sometimes I can be like a baby throwing tantrums, but you will still put up with it. Thank you so, so much for everything.
Love, siying
