I'm Lucky

I'm lucky to have and be with who I'm blessed with. They always say, it take years to bond a relationship, but all you need is for that mere few minutes to destroy what was built over the years.

We don't get to choose our parents, neither do we get to choose our siblings as well. That could be possibly the best thing on Earth. I owe it to them to where I am today.

My mum was definitely the silent pillar behind me. Always supportive, motivating and concerning over me. Her shower of concern towards me, expressiveness of naggy-ness as well as unconditional effort and love is there. Seriously, to think that I could still make her sad at times. I realized that she finally accepted the fact that her son could not spend as much as time with her anymore, unlike how when I'm young, I'm like a Mama's boy. Sticking with her 24/7 and any sight without her will send me tearing. This in fact is a joke still teased by my mother.

My dad was a stern figure. Not a man of much words. He gave me the support I most desperately need at unexpected moments. He's the man behind the entire family, keeping us intact and ensure both me and my Bro don't go astray. He used rewards to keep us motivated in our studies. Unfortunately, he has a son who doesn't like studying, and failing him when I was 15 years old but still, I'm glad on the day I stood on the stage with that Mortar Board on my head, he appeared the happiest man on Earth, I knew, he was proud of me.

My brother on the other hand, was the silent supporter. If anyone of you has a childhood sweetheart, I'll gladly deem my brother as one. He's the one who brought fun and love to my childhood, though fights, quarrels and of course from all the nitty gritty things. The growing up never seems boring with him around. We grew up learning from one another, fighting with each other, competing with each other and finally now that both of us has grown up (something my parents are very glad about), we led our very own lives, own directions but I must say our relationship is still going strong, in a very solemn way.

As the saying goes, 在家靠家人，在外靠朋友. Nothing can be more true that than. 知音能有几个? Not alot. I must say I've been fortunate though my life surrounded by true friends who has stood by me all along.

Primary school was a nightmare in school, pretty much due to the introvert me. I didn't understand how having friends really feels like. Secondary school life was instead, on the total opposite - it made me realize and understand the word 'friends'.

Best friend, there can only be one, if not, you can't really call it Best Friend. There's lots of reasons why it's best. The things both do, both crazy and wacky, the crap they've been though, the thought and memories that trails behind, yet follows silently. To me, best friend is one who never fails to send me 'goodluck' when I'm having exams, 'bon voyage' when I'm flying off, lending me his precious ears when I'm in need, standing by me when I'm falling, it's just as simple and yet as difficult as that. I'm indeed lucky to be fortunate to have such a best friend with me.

Of course, I'm blessed with alot of other good friends who've walked my life with me together. Unfortunately I've seen how friendship can fell apart just like that, and I seriously hope my turn will never come because I really do treasure all my friends, and I mean FRIENDS.

Last but not least, I must say I'm lucky to 'lost and have found'. I found this special person. The unconditional love. A good girlfriend isn't one who's there to praise how much you love her. A good girlfriend isn't one who always pretend to be nice just so you would love and dote on her more. A good girlfriend isn't one who demand you to spend every single minute and every single day with her. A good girlfriend isn't one who treats you nice just because she thinks you should do the same to her as well.

A good girlfriend is one who tells you off when you did something wrong and praise you when you did something right. A good girlfriend is one who nags at you and make sure you won't repeat your mistakes. A good girlfriend is one who remembers what you love to eat and would go all out and buy for you just because she knows you love it. A good girlfriend is one who does not matter if you don't have the time to spend with her because you have work to complete. A good girlfriend is one who gives yet does not expect anything in return. To me, my special someone made me realize what a good girlfriend should be, because she is.

So in life, it's not what you own, it's not what you don't have, it's not what you've achieve, it's not what you've done but it's who's with you when you're going through your ups and downs. I take this chance to thank you all for being there for me always, and deep inside my heart, although I know it is impossible, still, I hope for it...and that is...we can be together forever and ever....
