Yeap, you guessed it right, this post is going out to my other half !

I’ve known my other half for around 18 years now. We’ve known each other since we were kids, our parents got along just fine, and we went to the same kindergarden, were playmates and went to church together.

Most would think that over the years as we grew up that our little friendship would end, and maybe get a little dramatic especially when we reached our teen years- going through crushes, hormonal changes, and searching for our own identities.

During our teen years, there was a time where distance became a huge factor, and with me shifting to a new township and a new church, our relationship was a little strained. We did keep in contact, but it was very minimal.

Then somehow, someday, we started talking again- like we never lost contact ever, It was like we picked up where we left off. Thank goodness we live in an era where technology brings us so many benefits, and distance no longer became a problem.

My other half has been there for me always- for the good times, for the bad times, for happy times, or sad, hitting rock bottom times. Always there to listen, there to advice, always knows when to speak and when to be silent, knows when to scold me, and when to endure my whining.

My other half loves me for who I am. Looks are important- we’re both equally vain, both equally dumb blondes and tech-noobs, yet we stick together through thick and thin. I think I’ve never said it, but thank you so much for being there when I needed a shoulder to cry on. I can’t express how much it meant when you showed up for my grandpa’s funeral. I truly appreciate it. ( Hugss !! )

I’m sure dear reader that you’ve guessed by now, that my other half is not anyone of the opposite gender, but my other half is female. And we’re not lesbians okay, we’re both straight girls that are interested in men, but we’re like sisters. We’re soul sisters, as she always puts it :-)

We have so many things in common, yet there are also things that differentiate us. We both believe in putting God first above everything, We both like to read, we both like cars, we both like coffee and chocolate, we both like hot guys, we both like dogs, etc. BUT at the same time, I’m studying language and she’s studying psychology & international studies, as well as Egyptology. Yes, she’s superwoman !! Doing double degrees at the same time. She’s my hero ;-) She loves history, and I can’t recall what I learnt in History. Yet, we still get along just fine.

In other words, I’ve found a true true friend that has stood by me all the way. I’m so blessed to have you as a true friend, and most importantly as a sister. Let’s turn 21 together awesomely- vain and fabulous !! haha!

Much love Michelle Low Hui Yee <3
