the first time we met, i honestly can't remember how. over the span of a year and a half, there were ridiculous physics classes, a dozen freak tests and presentations, grammy-standard talent nites (she was Lindsay Lohan from freaky friday), a spectacular prom nite, sweat-drenching uni interviews, and of course the dreaded TEE final exams. together.
the last time we met - in DFO, sydney. so chattery, she proudly told us of the new boots she had just bought while we stared in obvious envy. that was how she has always been - funny, witty, talkative, joyful, humourous, frank, non-pretentious. and that is how she will always be remembered.
this is a heartfelt tribute - to an ex-classmate, a dear friend.. to someone who brightens a room the moment she walks into it.. who always stood up for what she believed was right. who was always so genuine and non-pretentious.. who was not afraid to live out loud, speaking her thoughts, sharing her joy.. someone who had so much spread out in front of her.. who left without a goodbye..
