A friend in indeed - WL and Han

Though I have achieved thus far with no success in my love relationship, I am proud to score flying color on the friendship with WL and Han. We crossed our path in JC days.

Han was an intelligent lovely girl who was our class representative at the time. She impressed me during our first more intimate conversation in the school library. We were having free period in between lessons and some of us were in the library to do self reading. I saw her walking here and there without real purpose, so I caught her for a conversation. As the school had just started and we just got acquainted with each other not long, so naturally our talk revolved around choice of JC.

"hmm.. so how did you do in your "O"?", I posed the question everyone were to ask at that time.

"5 A1 lo...", She answered unconcernedly while looking around on the passers by as if it was not her own glory. At our time, 7 A1 on "O" was the max and there were not many people who scored it. 5 A1 was the score one could go anywhere you like.

"huh??", I stared at her in amaze with mouth big big.

"Why on earth you are here for??", I shouted at her uncontrollably. "I thought you should go HW or National?" Those were the two top JC at our time.

"oh... I went HW in the first three months but I thought the students there were all too studious. I prefer a more relax environment." She explained causally. "How about yourself?", She poked back the question to me casually.

"hmm........ ", It was too shameful to mention my result in front of her though my result was actually quite good comparing to our batch in the JC.

WL, a quiet studious type of person, should fit into the image of HW and National. We both actually had just enough point to get into National, but were rejected because of our EL2 result. Not too sure if it was this sympathetic situation that triggered our close friendship since JC days.

I don't think any of our friends has ever encountered WL throwing tantrum. I had only entitled a privilege in my whole association with him to witness his tearing. WL has always sweet and gentle disposition. I was taken aback by his response when we were discussing his choice to stay in sg with his parents or moved to London to be with his bf there. The decision was most likely the most difficult one he made in his entire life till now. I could understand how tormented he was at the time.

WL and Han share a common interest. They both have serious weakness for C & E American man. It would be too rude for me to put the words in full as a bosom friend of theirs. Han is now helping out her hubby's business joyfully in SH and WL is staying lovely with his bf in London. And, I am the forever failure with relationship in this trio. The two have stayed with me through thick and thin and pull me through many toughs in my life.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. I can never ask for more from WL and Han.
