*Pinch*

Before sleeping last night, I was making a mental list. Not a mental list for shopping, but a mental list of blessings. Going through the day, I stopped...and my mind just brought me to many wonderful places that stored those memories.

This is another of those posts that I'm dedicating it to a certain person (you'll know who as you read on :))...and based on the title itself? :P

The first time we actually talked was on the trip back from wonderland in first year after exams...I remember I was so dizzy and was having motion sickness (the car ride was even more intense than the rides lol) yet we were able to carry a conversation :P . We sat together at the dinner table and just talked.

I also remember all those emails you sent me to keep me in check during the summer of 2009 when I went back to Hong Kong. I apologize for ignoring most of them, or replying super late :P Just to let you know, I enjoyed reading :) You were the only person in Toronto that kept me in check and I'm so thankful for that.

Second year...there is a truck load of memories. I am still amazed by the nights you would sleep over at my place, and the two of us would fit on a single bed :P My tiny room, studying and chatting at the dining table...definitely there are many more :)

Third year...wow...even more (what's larger than a truck?). You are such a great sister in Christ. Living with you definitely was a great springboard for me to grow. People say friends are like mirrors, and I would with no doubt say that you are one. Sharing, praying, small notes on the table...talks, late night walks to McDs, spontaneous grocery shopping at 2 in the morning...I've learned a lot from you, and for sure without doubt, with you too :) I learned so much more about you throughout the whole year, got to realize, as much as we are similar in the ways we think, we express it so differently. And of course, I learned so much about myself.

Forth year...I missed you! I definitely had! This year was tough without being able to share the tiny bit of things with you. I no longer ranted freely about anything, even knowing that you are the least likely to judge me out of everyone (cause you probably know me better than a lot of people). At winter retreat, when I hugged you and said I missed you, it was such a relief.

You might not have realized how much you influence people lives, and I can honestly tell you that you have made an enormous impact in mine. "Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another." Proverbs 27:17. You were a piece of iron to me, at times it was painful, but without the sharpening how would we grow? :P *Pinch face* Thanks for always being there for me (the laughter, the tears, and the default face), keeping me accountable, and to share your life with me :) You are such a blessing in my life :D
