So after a long time, i decided to tell my friends how much i appreciate them, and also want them to understand how i remember every little bit and detail of our friendship.

Since i felt this way, what a better way then to write a 1000 words essay. I mean, it would be fun.

And of course, All this is from my heart.

About how i met her, and how we became this close.

It all started during Freshman Orientation Camp. I thought i would just be a little toned down, so that i won't lose my voice, like i always do in camps. At first, i just mixed around with some guys. However, the first contact i made with Rachel came, soon enough. It was quite special, as i felt a sudden click with her. Not physically, but mentally, and it was strong.

Okay, so how? You might ask me.

It was time for games. What we did for icebreaking games was of course to first and foremost introduce ourselves. Yeah, no big. And also, in front of our names have one word which describes ourselves. As most of you might have known, FOC camp had people all over Ngee Ann Poly. And i was, of course hoping to find some mass communication friends, which i could make before going to school. Thus, as you can guess, here was when i met Rachel.

Firstly, the group was quite dead, as it was the first day. Everyone introduced themselves, a little shy. But when it came to Rachel, there was when all the fun and enthusiasm came. I felt, an instant click.

Soon enough, it was my turn to introduce myself. I introduced myself and also my course, mass communications. Then Rachel looked at me, and said HI. I gave her an act cool look, and did a gun signal at her *winking* one eye. Yes, it was funny.

So the games continued, i played, and started talking to Rachel slowly. Game by game, we drew slightly closer. BUT, not till the second day. Second day, Rachel and I, with two other dear friends, Gerald and Sharon, we formed a Posse. A group and had lots of fun, playing around with each another. Real fun.

Spending time with them, the time passed really fast, and soon enough, the camp ended. Of course, we exchanged number and emails. 

This time of the friendship, we only chatted on the internet on MSN messenger. 

The next event was the Sentosa outing. She didn't make it, however, i felt her presence.

So as  you all know, we are from the same course, mass communications. And obviously, we have an orientation camp. Of course, as me and Rachel was previously from the same group, we met, and went for the camp together. 

Guys, guess what? I got into the same group as her, *super uglies*. Isn't it fate? I guess it is.

We had fun, being hyper and all. And of course, along the way, made many many good friends. This FMS camp made us draw even closer, both physically and mentally.

We bonded, and even planned the combined *producing* together. I can say, i had a lot of fun.

The last night, i even went with Flora and the rest to disturb her. I can say, she was really nice, she smiled while she pointed the middle finger at us! What a joke.

FMS camp ended, and all i can say was that we were drawn even closer to one another, as good friends.

It Does not end here. We then found out that fate had brought us yet together, AGAIN. We were put in the SAME CLASS. What could've been luckier. Yes, we were noisy, and even made a class cheer.

Here it goes:

TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOTOTOTOTOTOOTOT, HELLO! WE're from 102

Yes, You guys might just think its lame, but well, i had fun.

School started. I Never had a better time. We spent alot of time together, and i really appreciated it. 

One time, i got really touched by her. It happened not too long ago.

After my dance sport lessons, i had to go home alone. And it was already very late in the night. I live in Tampines and thus it would take 3 buses around 1hour 30 mins to get home. And, guess what Rachel spoke to me on the phone, even though we had test the next day, and accompanied me all the way back to tampines. I am truly grateful.

Thus, after all these happenings, i really learnt that having such a great friend as Rachel is really something great. She is a friend i would not want to lose. FOREVER.
