happy birthday shenda :)

hey shenda, kamu tau kenapa aku seneng temenan sama kamu?

first of all, though, i have to say, it sucks (or s*cks kalau kata kamu hehee) how i can't say this to you directly.
i had a lot of fun making your video last year. tadinya aku pikir tiap liburan bisa pulang dan ulang taun kamu g bakal kelewat. tapi ternyata kali ini ga bisa. hehee.

kita bisa deket gini padahal baik dari sifat maupun kebiasaan g banyak yg sama sih kalau dipikir". kamu jauh lebih dewasa dan bertanggung jawab soalnya udah mah anak sulung, adenya banyak lagi tapi mungkin karena itu kamu mau ngurusin aku yg suka rewel ini :)

kamu sangat up to date sama berita artis, mostly hollywood, padahal aku mah hampir setengah orang" yg kamu sebutin itu aku ngga tau. hahaa. tapi aku seneng" aja kita ngegosipin artis bareng di angkot bari diliatin sama orang" seangkot. and i am so not into your whole twilight fever but it's endearing to listen to you talk about them so lovingly :) terus kamu jangan sedih ya miley cyrus jadi nakal sekarang. kamu doain aja yg terbaik buat idola kamu itu :p
terus satu yang aku suka banget dari shenda, i've said this a lot but it's no harm to say it again, kamu itu selalu bisa cari kelebihan & kebaikan dari orang kek, situasi kek, you can always see the glass as half full although of course you realize why some other people would see that very same glass as half empty. you're a positive young girl, husnudzon banget :) ok lah, kamu bilang makin tua, kadar "bitter" kita juga makin nambah. aku juga ngerasa begitu. tapi overall, kamu masih jauh lebih positif dari kebanyakan orang yg aku kenal. i love that about you ♥ please keep it up, it's what makes you stand out in a crowd. a bitter, bitter crowd of the world today, that is.

sedikit kontras sama yg tadi, tapi dalam situasi terntentu kamu bisa sinis banget. i am a very sarcastic person kalau situasinya mendorong untuk begitu. i need sarcasm every now and then in my life. it amuses me very much. it's not a good thing i guess, tapi sekali" sarkasme itu memang sungguh nikmat :)
apalagi kalau cuma antar kita doang mah. sarcastic banter amongst us, anak" bfor is priceless stuff! :D


you are very ambitious, you set up high goals for yourself. itu banget yg aku harus belajar dari kamu. ibu aku aja bilang gitu. i'm not that ambitious and my damn IQ tests suggest that i should be an overachiever. you're always in that direction. i look up to you to motivate me to be something like that :) seperti yg kamu bilang, pertemanan kita dilandasi sebagian oleh saling mengagumi. alhamdulillah ya pertemanan kita sehat bener. hahaa. bisa dijadiin program tv edukatif untuk remaja indonesia itu :p

you have lots and lots of friends. kalau aku bilang ini perbedaan antara kita berdua pasti kamu g setuju dan bilang "loh namira juga banyak temennya kan". tapi kamu tuh bisa cepet genuinely deket sama banyak orang dan kamu jauh lebih cuek daripada aku. kadar sanguin kamu lebih besar. aku sanguinis-melankolis, hampir seimbang jadi kadar melankoli aku gede jg. i have social needs, yes, aku seneng punya beberapa orang temen deket di sekitar aku, bukan cuma 1 sahabat yg ke mana" berdua doang. but i'm very self-concious too, i can't help it. aku bisa cepet akrab basa-basi sama orang. tapi kalau bener" all out harus sama yg udah masuk circle of trust dulu. i have bad trust issues, i really do. and i'm glad i met you :) padahal kita sekelas g pernah. jadi agak random juga kita temenan. okelah kamu x-9 tapi kan pada akhirnya aku g deket sama semua anak x-9. i need someone i can trust and care about and cares about me too. i found all that just by being friends with you :)

being friends with you gives me hope about friendship itself. you make friendship easy for me. i just simply enjoy your company. no stupid fights because there's rarely anything stupid enough to fight about. ga ada pengorbanan atau penyesuain gila"an, despite all our differences, things just work out. being friends with you is like doing something i'm meant to do :)

so my wonderful friend, i wish you a very very happy birthday. may all of your ambitious wishes in life come true, even that tiffany. co engagement ring fantasy. hahaa :) may you continue to be a strong and positive person who inspires people around you. yes, it's true, you do. may you encounter life's many adventures and be blessed with the wisdom on how to face it all. and may our friendship last, at least until your next birthday, then i can wish for it to last another year. i'll do it every year and in the end we'll find our friendship lasts til the very end. amin ♥

lots of ♥ from KL

happy birthday naghe :)

Dearest Naghe,

sesuatu yg sering banget kita omongin adalah betapa jalan hidup kita suka sama banget..
siapa lagi coba temen aku yg bareng dari SD sampe SMA terus AFS bareng pula..
we are often facing the same kinds of situations in which we tend to have pretty much the same points of view on things that happen in life.. random stuff, kyk waktu itu naghe bikin notes tentang kampus yg berinisial 3 huruf itu, itu kena banget because i have exactly the same opinions, also regarding the place where i ended up going to..
we tend to always invest 100% of our hearts in anything or, ehm, anyone we're involved in, which leads to perhaps unnecessarily terrible dissappointment at times but also unexpectedly joyful *but well deserved* moments at other times..
we tend to have a hard time letting things go.. we forgive but never forget.. and we end up telling bitter little b*thcy stories to each other which after it's shared, it's not so bad anymore and can even be turned into laughter :)
our big fat wall of pride on certain things, perhaps that's the reason why we both insist on doing part-time jobs *are you still teaching, dear?* even though managing time for our academic studies is already somewhat of a task.. it gives us satisfaction, it makes us feel independent, it fulfills our strong social needs, it makes us feel better about ourselves since we're actually doing something for other people.. and most of all, the fact that we can earn our own money makes our parents proud, even though it's only enough for our own needs.. and at the end of the day, that's the reason we do everything we do and try to achieve everything we want to achieve, is to make our parents proud.. the best way to make people like us happy is to know that we've done something that makes our parents/family and loved ones happy..


i have no trouble making friends *sombong :p* but finding friends who actually care, that's something different.. and i also have really bad trust issues, i find it tremendously difficult to find someone i can trust.. therefore, i'm a lucky person to have met you and be given the ability to call you a friend, nadia greviana :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
i wish you a wonderful, wonderful year ahead!
21 sure does seem like a big number, but if God is giving us the chance to live this far, means we're still useful enough to have around in this earth.. may you continue to help and bring joy to the others around you like you always have, whether you realize you're doing it or not :)

loads of ♥ from SG,
Namira :)

p.s. i'm sorry i'm not around to say all this to you directly *i wish i were*, i'm sorry i ended up posting this 1 day late, and i miss you too much :')
