Sisterhood

Ive always been shy getting to know people. And im really glad that ive gotten the chance to know 2 of this great lovely girls/women/seniors...whichever makes them happy. They have helped me heaps this year, always caring, loving, thoughtful...whatever you name it.

Its such a shame that both of them have graduated...haih...going to miss them. They have been like my sisters, always looking out for me. Always the ones i could talk to when im down basically. And somehow, they are the ones who would cheer me up.

Definitely going to miss some sisterhood 'coffee and cake' session, or more like 'ice cream and cake' session with them. Makes me feel like im a girl...(and no...i aint gay)...just wouldnt mind joining the girls for a bit i guess.

All in all, i guess they have been great to me and part of the reason why i have settled so well in IH has to be them. Definitely going to miss them heaps, and wish them all the best in the future...

And now...to introduce them...

I wll always remember this philipino girl for the first time we met. She was the first person, or first non aussie who came up to me while i was smoking in the courtyard inbetween clunies and new building, sat down and started talking with me. I didnt even need to introduce myself, she made the first move to introduce herself and started the conversation. She even stayed on for quite a while even though i was smoking...something not many people would do if they dont smoke. I was sorta shocked couz id never knew people would actually do that as other people do not usually approach smokers...asian girls esp.
We started chatting...and found out that she knew my 2nd sister cause they went to the same high school together, and i guess...the rest was history. We got to know each other...quite well frankly, and i knew i would be able to trust her and call on her when im down i guess. For the fact that she approached me, while i was smoking, and introduced her self...sorta...makes me feel much more welcomed in IH...something i felt i was lacking at that point in time.
As for now, we gotten to know each other better, even call her mum now couz of her motherly-ish personality...hahaha.and i guess...yeah...its all good i guess...its all good.

Honestly speaking, i think i only got to know this beijing girl last term around september, as she is a senior, shes always busy and rarely around. Apart from that, im just scared to approach people i guess.
Got to know her at the dinner table and somehow she asked me whether i wanted to have swiss roll after that...and being the fat ass that i am...i said YES!!! I then had swiss roll with her and we started chating and all...felt so weird as it was the first time that i really talked to her...well...i knew her before that but its more like...i knew her name and she knew mine, and all of a sudden,there i am eating swiss roll, laughing out and all.
After we gotten to know each other better, i was really greatful as she sort off became my 'elder sister'. Always asking me how studies are going for me, waking me up in the morning by calling my room countless of times before i eventually forced myself to wake up and pick up the phone...checking that im actually studying and not slacking off, and sorta 'scolding' me when i have done something wrong, or said something wrong.
The rest was good i guess, we became quite close'friends' or 'brothers and sisters' more like...and i guess im really thankful that i have gotten to know such a great person.

I really wish both of them well, and hope we do keep in contact!!!
