Have I Told You

Yeah, I know the title sounds like Rod Stewart's song. Oh well, I am not going to talk about love. As we all know, love is ageless topic. So, let's not too nostalgic about this. Besides, I am tired of talking about love. Besides, who am I to talk about this when I myself is a loser in this subject matter.

Anyway, I'd love to share this with you.



I have a friend. A friend whom I can be honest and sincere with. To me, I never have any dilemma of being myself in front of this person. She knows both of my sides; the good and the bad. And she has no problem with either one. Even if she feels like to confront it, she will come and face it squarely with me. So, no reason for me to be a different person in front of her.

I know her for a little bit over than one good year. As lame as it might sound, yes, we befriended each other through a portal over the web. Thanks to the greatness of Internet, I can now expand my social circle, eh?

Yes, we have met. The first meeting was a disaster. It took place in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. We both ended up with anger and frustration towards each other. I was real pissed at her and so did she. I guess we both came with wrong expectations. The second meeting was much better. It was done in more friendly fashion. I must say, I enjoyed and felt awkward at the same time. But the feeling was mutual. Friendship.

Although I have to bear her unregulated temper but personally, it worths my time and energy. Frankly speaking, I learnt many things through my friendship with her. Especially on how to deal with temperamental individual. And also, I learnt more about fast car when I sit down with her. Hail to racing-maniac queen!! (Oh God please don't let anything bad happens to her while she's behind the wheels. I know she commits many sins towards JPJ).

Oh yes, she hurt my feeling before. Not once but quite a few. It's okay because that's what a friend does. At least, she apologized and I appreciate her apologies. We bickered every now and then. She has her anger. I have my moody mood. What a perfect coalition! She pissed off and I sulked. But so far, I usually gave up and start over the conversation.

I have to admit that hearing her voice over the phone made me smile on this side. And yes, she called me just now just to ask about how my important event went on today. She woke up in the middle of the night to turn off the TV and remembered about what I told her the other day. Quickly, she gave a call despite a low credit on her cellphone. Very thoughtful of her!



Indeed we both are totally the opposites. I am a sentimental kind of person. She loves heavy metal and grunge music. My maximum speed on the road is actually 10 km/h above the speed limit. She hits the end of speedometer. She is a science pharmacy major and I am engineering major. Okay, that's close enough - science and technology world. I love Mercedes Benz but she loves Mitsubishi Evo 9. Heh...I can go on and on about our differences.

Anyway, to conclude this, I must say that I have a deep respect and admiration upon her. I wish only the best for her and I have to say that I really enjoy my friendship with her regardless of any bad episode I've had with her. I realize it takes two to make friendship works and I guess, I did contribute to some of the problems we have in between each other. Thousand apologies for that. All in all, may our friendship prosper till the end. And may she get her own Evo 9!
