The first very best of friend - My model of relationship

He was my childhood friend. My first very good friend. Very very good friend. If I were to be asked the first friend I knew, he will be the one. Actually, I’m not too sure if he was really the first friend I knew in my life, but my memory registers this way. I think it’s because of him that I have always been so much yearning for a good company/relationship. It was really far away from now, I don’t even have much memory to describe him, except his name and nick name. His name is Lim Teck Siang. He has got an interesting nick called ‘po tan nie’. Friends in neighborhood all called him his nick. I don’t even have the memory on the meaning of his nick. Strangely, the feeling of being with him is still so vividly with me now.

We were always together after school. Although we were attending different primary school, we would always meet mostly at his house after school. I can’t even remember if we ever play game together. The only thing in my memory is the chatting. We always chatted whenever we met. We seemed to have lots of thing to talk about. We would talk and talk till lunch time. We would continue to talk again after lunch till dinner time and followed though till bed time. We talked right after the sun rise. We talked till the sun set. I can’t understand even now if there was really so many thing to talk about between two primary school kids, but I can still feel the closeness with him whenever I think of we meeting and chatting.

He shifted house sometime when we were in upper primary. I didn’t even remember if we ever bid farewell to each other. However, I remember he came back to visit me once when we were in lower secondary school. We had a brief chat then. Although it was a total silence, the visual image of the last meeting was deeply rooted in my mind. I remember every expression on the occasion but not a single word was recorded.

I think he definitely has a strong influence in my view for relationship. I have been longing to match someone real in life with him in my fond memory.
