    I miss my best friend.

    Parking my baby car in my designated spot within the residential parking area after another stressful day of work, I get the familiar feeling of anxiousness, the good kind, which motivates me to forget a day of work and actually breathe.. and take in the fresh air, and smell the flowers. The excitement of meeting him for dinner, coffee, whatever - just having a night out with him; My best friend.

    But it’s all just imagination now. When you have a really good friend by your side for so many years, you tend to forget how important he/she really is, and at times, take him/her for granted. Appreciation is there, but never shown. And that’s how I feel. I knew I’d miss him dearly, but not this much. The pain becomes rather unbearable at times that I can’t believe it; Why? Maybe it’s because I naturally do not have many friends in the UK anyway? But no.. it’s because he’s been there through every single tough/happy/exciting moment I’ve handled. And not only he’s made me feel better every time, but he was there to suffer with me, play with me, fight with me and cry with me. HOW MANY FRIENDS DO THAT WITH YOU?

    When I first heard the news that he will be leaving to Singapore.. my heart sank so low I thought I’d never feel a heart beat again. But deep down inside I was so happy for him, and I really wanted him to move forward and have a good future (since UK isn’t doing so well right now.. job seeking wise), and he received a good offer too! At the same time I felt so sad and lost.. but I didn’t say much because I didn’t want him to think I was being selfish. I was just glad he found something, and that I could be there to share the exciting news.

    Almost a month has passed, and I’m feeling more lonely than ever. Everytime I had a stressful day at work, or a problem I felt I could not deal with.. he was there. He was there to reassure me and assist me. He was there to take my hand and tell me that everything would be okay. He would boost my confidence and remind me of what a good person I am. Now, I feel I have no one else to confide in, like the way I used to do it with him. We still talk.. but it’s so different when we’re not face to face anymore.

    It’s been an emotional night for me. It struck me as I was driving home from work this evening - and it’s a Thursday night as well, when I usually meet him after work because I finish earlier.

    Today all I could do was look back at our photos and hold back my tears, reminiscing the past 5 years, from the first day we met till the day we said goodbye (maybe for a long time, maybe forever?). I have never bonded this much with a friend in that period of time, shared so much and grew up together so much in 5 years, as I have with him. We started out as amateur pharmacy students.. and we’re now both registered and qualified pharmacists.

    I just hope life will work the way it should be, in the best possible way, selfish of me or not. I just think everyone deserves a bit of happiness in their lives, and a best friend who can understand them. I didn’t see this coming, and I’m not sure how the future will be like anymore.

    I miss you Loc. Life feels empty without you, I know my family is over, but trust me when I say it’s different when it comes to having a best friend around. You should know what I mean :).

About

I pretend to be the young girl who goes out and grabs the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.

I do not believe in man being impervious to negative emotions (sadness, anger, jealousy). Sorrows can be endured, happiness can be shared. I am someone more of a melancholic character, and I believe it is only morbid if it occupies too much place in your life; but it is equally morbid to wholly exclude it from your life.
