I feel like I write about friends a lot, but as an introvert, I find it really difficult to make friends to begin with. But also, I made a promise to myself in 2016 that I would never neglect friends for any relationship ever again. Hopefully, I'm doing that well enough right now. So, in a way, I've been learning to treasure the friends that I hold dear to my heart to the best of my abilities.
There have been many friends in my life, and it is impossible for me to touch on each and everyone of you. But, all of you have impacted my life in one way or another. Clearly, this was meant to be an end-of-2019 post, but that did not happen, so it's here 5 months late.
I think I'm a really hard to approach person in general, so thank you to all of you who have made the first move to get to know me, and to be my friend.
2019 has been a year of friends for me. Catching up with my primary school friend, Melvin Lim. I also met up with Priscilla and Justin (though that was more end of 2018). Lots of quality time spent with my secondary school mates too, even going to JB with them. Hung out a bit with my poly peeps before my best friend Randell flew off to UK for further studies. Hung out with my army bois when Jordy came back from Australia. Made more new (but close and precious) friends at Chug like Max, Seannyboi, & Shannon. Went to university expecting to not make a single friend, but I made 2 really good friends (or VSCO girls), Bidhya and Lae, who are so so sweet. Became really good friends with Michelle after doing 3 or 4 shoots together, and we have since kept making amazing photos together. Xuening entrusting me with most of her shoots (almost felt like an exclusive contract), and even her maternity shoot. Rachel who got me a few paid photography jobs here and there. Megan who I went to the Epik High concert with. Naomi, my matcha buddy, who also gave me one of my craziest opportunities in 2019, which was shooting over 10 models in a day. Ariffin and Rosanne who often complained about linguistics with me. Sufyan who always geeks out with me.
Also made a friend called Arica over break-up conversations, who quickly became my girlfriend but that's for another day.
And of course, there are so much more. The friends I made through Instagram and from shoots, the customers who became friends from Chug. The full-timers at Populus who are so so nice to me.
So this one is to all of the friends in my life. Both old ones and new ones.
