Once, I
believed there is no steel or diamond in my friendship. I had come across the
obstacles and difficulties, yet I was lack of confidence. Due to fate, I met
five little angels in my childhood. They were always by my side, endless
giggling and laughing. Obviously, we were inseparable as if unbreakable bond.
Those memories seem remarkable and memorable. True friends are difficult to
forget.
Unfortunately,
a phone call destroyed my happiness. My uncle was encouraging my parents to
come back to Malaysia and he gave the golden opportunity to their career.
Honestly, my parents agreed to be a manager in a photocopy shop to provide us a
better future. They were only employees in Singapore. When I was at the age of
eight, I forced to say goodbye to my five good friends. My tears rolled as if
the water tap, they were uncontrollable! I ‘SWORE’ to avoid making good friends
in Malaysia. What a childish notion! Yet, I failed to do so.
Years
after years, they were always in my heart. Whenever I see something such as the
field, I miss those wonderful days. We were a team in Sports Day, cooperating
to win the champion! I was afraid that our friendship will fade. Finally,
rainbow appears after the rain. I received a phone call which made me over the
moon. I couldn’t describe my feeling, just awesome and unbelievable! I boarded
a bus and it was time for me to hug the lovely country with my fellow friends.
During the journey, I felt doubtful. “We haven’t seen each other for years…how
am I going to talk with them? How about our friendship?”
After a
few hours, I reached my destination. They were there to welcome me. We decided
to go to ‘Xcape’ room as it was the most popular place among teenagers. ‘Xcape’
has a lot of games and titles. Without hesitation, we chose ‘Vampire Diaries’.
Indeed, we shared the same interests. Before the game, girls and boys were
separated as the boys were going to act as wizards and girls were the witches.
Coincidentally, our group had got three girls and three boys. It was really
fair in this game.
Next, six
of us were led to a dark room and the game started immediately. We were asked
to find the clue in the cardboard. Again, we showed our cooperation. Boys
in-charged of the higher rows of the cardboard while girls in-charged of the
lower part. Out of expectation, one of my friends discovered a hole on the top
of the cardboard. After that, we realized that it was able to turn 180 Degree.
A prison
was seen behind the cardboard. It was dark and I was scared by it. My friends
were there to motivate me to enter the dark, silent prison. They are always
reliable. Based on the vampires’ names, we managed to solve the passwords and
puzzles. We got stuck in the last room. We didn’t give up till the last second.
The worker of ‘Xcape’ entered the last room and said:” You guys have tried your
best. Actually, if you manage to overcome the last stage, the witches will win
and lock the wizards in this room. Thank you and come again.” One of my friends
kid: “How can you cheat us without telling us the truth? We have known each
other for 14 years.”
It was
time to bid farewell. A cake was designed by us and we named our group as
‘Happy Anniversary’! After that, they accompanied me to the MRT station. It was
far away from their house. “Never mind, we can accompany you as it is your last
journey of this year in Singapore. Do miss us.” they said and laughed. The
words warmed my heart. “The witches dared to betray the wizards as we know that
we knew each other since young.” This is my answer in my heart.
Jing Xian,
Jia Yu, Jia Jun, Hean Chung and See Yen, you guys are always my special old
friends! I am really fortunate to know you guys. Thank God! From the incident,
I believe in friendship. Friendship has no word and good friendship is demanded
to be touched. Two phone calls had changed my perception towards friendship and
thus built up the walls of our friendship. We managed to transform walls into
doors. I shall never forget ‘Happy Anniversary’ and they are the amazing
memories in my heart and soul!
