Lian Zhen Xiang, a friend that I have known since I stepped into KDU University College. I still remember on the first day I came to KDU, I saw him sitting with his parents and friends, unlike me who came alone :P He is a Petronas scholar too, will be studying Chemical Engineer in UK.
I guess the time when we started to get closer to each other was the time when the gang of four was formed. Lian, John, Min Wen and I - the Further Maths gang. Among the whole batch of July intake, be it scholars or private students, there are only 4 of us who choose to take up Further Maths haha. Since then, we always go in a group as our timetable is different from others. We have lunch, dinner, exercise, movies, and lots of fun together including going to Penang after MKM.
And so, today is his 20th birthday, he is the big brother among us a.k.a the oldest guy =P Last year, we didn't get to celebrate for him as it was during Chinese New Year. Early in the morning, we went to Sunway Pyramid. There was a giant bahtera at the centre of the mall, reminding us about the bahtera that four of us built for our event. Then we went for Mc D breakfast and shopped around the mall. We also went to Kim Gary for our lunch (his likes the cheese baked rice a lot). We didn't have much time there as I need to go for my Rotaract meeting and they wanted to go back with me.
After I came back from meeting, I went to the gym with him. We were planning to ask him out for dinner and celebrate for him with those who were still in Sterling. Who knows it rained heavily since 7pm and we didn't get to go out. Then, we gathered outside his unit and and went in as a group, together with a cake and his birthday present - a jacket. Actually, he has already knew what were we going to give him, just that he didn't expect that there will be a cake =P
That's him with his birthday present =D
Honestly, I really appreciate him as a friend. He was different from how he was as the head prefect in high school, so we always bully him (he's not any better than us =P). As the January baby, the one who plays a big part in family, the one who held important roles in high school and the Chinese among Petronas scholars (not trying to be racist), there is a certain level of similarity between us, in our thoughts and what we do. We are not like those best friends who always share their secrets with each other, we don't have the so called heart to heart talk, we are only bullying each other, teasing each other, helping each other and playing like a bunch of crazy people.
His is good in mechanics, a typical science student, glad to have him to teach me how to see and solve those questions with motion and direction. He always complain (well, its just for the fun of gossiping about others), but he will never leave when you need help. Despite how much he says that he doesn't want to do, when you give him the task, he will still complete it well.
On this last birthday celebrated in Malaysia before we fly, I wish that you have a great year ahead, full with joy and blessings. Besides, hope that you will get into Imperial and succeed in your body building plan =P
Glad to have you as my friend =D
