the little something you do

I am so touched
until my eyebrows are popping out,
until I feel like singing Chinese New Year song,
until I don't mind standing in the rectangle,
until I feel like plucking Carmen's eyebrows,
until I

We were in the same class in primary school

but we never mixed.


She always gets position NO 1 for every school examination.
TO me, getting into the top 10 was already considered GOOD.

She always sits in the first row and seldom open her mouth.
(yawning does not count so don't try to be smart alex with me).


She pays 100% attention during class.
I give 10% attention to whoever teaching infront of the class.

Needless to say, I always sit at the back row,
busy passing notes to my friends.


Fate must have wanted us to be friends
because we got into the same secondary school and
were placed in the same class. We didn't know anyone else
besides each other so we chose to be desk partners.
We got along quite well and often hung out together.


Unfortunately, we were placed in different classes during
Form 2. At first, we tried keeping in touch by writing letters to
each other. Then, it became tiresome.


Nowadays, we only talked once or twice in a
few months. Sometimes, we just HI and BYE when
we walk past one another.


THAT WAS WHY I WAS SO SURPRISED WHEN
SHE CAME TO MY HOUSE TODAY JUST TO BID
ME FAREWELL AND HAND ME OVER A PRESENT
AND A LETTER.




Thank you, Looi Shin Yee.
