Dear Audrey,

I have not been keeping in touch with you these few years. The last time I saw you was when we went clubbing together. Well, isn't that like a year ago?

You have always been a good friend of anyone, always there when they need you. You seldom lose your cool, you are just such a nice friend.

Secondary school days are one of the most important stages in our lives, as we are moulded into what we are today, as we built our characters from there. It has been my privilege, to have known you as a friend in secondary one. We were besties, don't you remember? Always hanging out together in sec 1 and 2. There were the days, I say.

The 7-11 at Clementi was our hangout place for a period of time. I, instead of taking my straight bus home from school each day, would choose to go all the way to clementi and take another bus home. You, instead of taking your straight train home each day, went to clementi too. And before we parted each time, we would make our daily routine to 7-11 to buy a cup of Slurpee and enjoy each other's company. Those were the days, simple as they were, they were the most treasured memories, I say.

I could still remember the first time I went to your place. It was real far from my place. Those times we spent together, with the rest of our classmates.

Remember JC1? The first day of school, we tried to meet up to go school together. Yeah. Right now, I could still remember your previous house's telephone number.

You never forget to try to meet up with everyone of us, while I just drifted away from you.

I even wanted to invite you to my birthday party, to catch up with you, but I guess I am just a step too late. I knew you had some problems recently, but I chose not to intervene.

When I first heard of news about you, I didn't want to believe. While I was having my camp at school on Saturday night, you were somewhere out there, in danger.

I really don't know what I should do, knowing that you won't be around ever again.


Missing you,
Wei Ling
