Hello my dear friend,
I hope we are still friends you know. hehs. This is me, at the age of 19 writing to a future you. This prolly has come as a surprise for both you and me. Just in case, if we're still engaging in some childish useless fights, let's resolve here. It's always fun being with you and yes you might dread today because it's the day you found your dear Melvin Seet (the handsome cute ACJC guy from CG) is attached to someone. Now in retrospect, does it seem like a comedy? :D
Remember how we always worry we will be left over the shelf. And most importantly remember our NYC dreams? How we feel so attached to a city which we have never been before. Remember those saturdays you spent in my house back in Blk 91 Henderson Road? haha Remember my mother, Tan Lay Lay- The amiable auntie who always serve you food? haha Remember playing our guitars in PS exits? Wait a min, are you in still Singapore now? haha It feels good to be writing this while Norah Jones "Shoot the moon" is singing behind.
Life is full of surprises. I am curious how this will sound and affect your life when it's finally sent to ur inbox and with you readin it. Maybe you're gonna tear and start picking up memories from our teenyhood to adulthood transition.
Anyway Jesus still love you no matter what. I hope by saying this, I would still be a Christian by then. Otherwise it's gonna be very ironic.
Life is so unpredictable. I don't know how it's gonna be like loosing our loved ones. Will we really be able to pull it through and everything. I guess all these questions by then will be solved.
I hope jobs has not turned us into robots. please do not forget to contact me (ust in case we lost contact) If it's too weird then use this as a topic. haahaa I hope we're still alive and kicking and we are healthy and strong. Maybe it doesnt matter anymore because we've found our the other halfs. Tell you a lil secret, I just sent a msg to my future self saying "it's all right to be single." How absoutely necessary! I wish you all the best in life and that you will find that satisfaction in living.
I loved our nyc dreams. I loved our anti social moments in primary school. I loved all the hiding in toilets adventures. I loved walking home together after church service. I loved loathing the spinster teacher, Ms Soh in Keng Seng Primary School. I loved our silly crushes on different celebs. I loved the fact we hated *******. I loved singing infront of St. Andrew entrance. I loved how we complained about our weight issues. I loved how we came to know Christ. I loved my old telephone number 2736448 *ok wait this has nothing to do with you* haha.... I really hate shoes and bags from Charles and Keith you know, so irritating! Poor quality la! aiyah wat else to write man? lemme think ah.... ermmm ok ok Remember rachel the despo girl from church and we ******* abt her instantly when she left? Remember Secret Garden, the restrauant beside nafa? Remember the night we walked past this young n old duo singing jazz beside the hotel in Tanglin Road? Remember the weirdo Dalphane? ok that's quite out too.
NYC! Do you think we have reached that goal? Or did it diminish in us as years gone by? Breakfast At Tiffany. remember all the stoopid looking emoticons in msn? Remember you said you loved to twist my teddy bears' heads in my room. You twisted woman! hahah Remember working in hilton sucks? Oh man! I certainly hope we have acheived the things we wanted since kids.
Last but not least, God bless you.
don't forget me - the big head, ni ni
yours truly,

PS: I hope hitting big 4-0 soon isnt a scary thing for you.
Hitting big 20 is already a disaster for us. hah and we joke abt hitting 30. Man I really hope we are not left on the shelf AND we are happy with our lives, good jobs and all.
HAPPY BDAY too!
