happy birthday jellymi

Today today ... what's today?

Today is the birthday of a good friend of mine. One whom I met last year and definitely got to know better throughout last year and this year. One whom seemed quiet and shy at first sight but looks can indeed be deceiving! To think that he "paiseh" all the time? No. He talks and asks just about anything and everything! He is ... a Jellymi.

What is a Jellymi?
A Jellymi is one who isn't afraid of asking you what you do when you're in the toilet waiting for poo poo to come out.

A Jellymi is one who only calls me "Jagung" because of some lame reason only a Jellymi can come out with. One who loves calling people "monkey" when he himself is a monkey!

A Jellymi is one who is very prone to injury in sports, all kinds of sports.

A Jellymi is one who loves going on Trademe, receiving emails from Dressmart and would always tell me whenever there's a sale going on.

A Jellymi is one who owns many many kinds of balls and also many pairs of shoes.

A Jellymi is one who developed a new interest recently in models ... model kits, not human models.

A Jellymi is one whose "lubang" is getting bigger and bigger as the days go by.

Actually, it's not A Jellymi. It's more like THE Jellymi. Because you can only find one in this whole wide world and I am thankful to have as my friend. Despite all the bullying, the name calling, the chauffeur duties, being his personal rice delivery man ... this fella is more than just that.

A great leader ... just look at how UMSA went this year ... need I say more? A great success because of him, because of his guidance, because of his amazing leadership skills along with a touch of lameness, pronounciation mistakes which just makes the environment a whole lot friendlier and funnier ;) It was definitely great to be under you, Mr. President (more like ex-president now eh?). Thank you for all the guidance and support because without you, I won't be able to handle 35 monkeys down at Christchurch this year. Haha!

A great friend. One who would actually "layan" my lameness all the time and talk to me about everything and really, anything!! The funny, the lame, the serious, the pointless .... all these talks, you can do it with Jellymi. Definitely an easy person to talk to. He who always keeps me entertained on MSN, making me laugh all the time. I really have to thank you for that because it distracts me from feeling homesick. Thank you!

One who loves sports a lot but also one who gets injured a lot. Like me and many others of the same kind, he is definitely one person who cannot live without sports and can barely sit still and not do sports. It comes to a point where you can call sports an addiction for this fella - injured knee with a torn meniscus and still go and play. Rest well now, ok?

Also, he's an awesome road trip travelling buddy. Sure there's the unsteady driving, the one who usually is the last to wake up but nevertheless, still a great companion. One who will keep you awake whilst you are driving (I would have slept if I were him, maybe he was too scared to even sleep :p) and one who had to tolerate my singing as well as adiba and fizah's singing in the car. Nyehehehehehe... good times, good times!

Somehow, he do have a big brother-like figure to me. Perhaps the other aspects where my brother don't do with me like playing sports together, having lame convo with me all the time, having a lot of patience with me when helping me out for physics and discussing topics that is really out of the world that you will not actually do with your own brother (because it would be a waste of his time).

So ... on this special day of yours... I would like to say Thank You. Thank you for coming into this world and being my friend. A very good friend indeed. Thank you for everything you've done for me. It is truly a blessing to have met you.

Happy 22nd Birthday Jeremy Liu Ted Hsiung!!
(i hope the spelling of the full name is right.. ahahaha!)

May you pursue all your dreams, have a splendid year ahead and all the best in everything!!! And also, may that knee of yours have a speedy recovery so that you can play sports soon!!!
