To Claire

To the most honest and genuine person I've ever met... thanks for all the couch therapy sessions we shared. Those conversations changed the way I think about myself and the world.

Thanks for the shopping days and random phone calls! Thanks for all the drinking sessions at Kim Keat, Peppermint, Emerald Hill, Harry's, Brauhaus, Timbre (!!!), Indochine, and 7-Eleven! I'll make sure we still get enough of those whenever we can.

Thanks for stopping me from doing my laundry when I was piss-drunk. Who knows what could have happened then?

...for losing the keys to our house after our KL trip. We had our first sleepover at the Bali because of that!

...for all the Starbucks Saturday "debrief" sessions. They just make the party the night before so much more fun.

...for letting me sleep in your room whenever I'm having nightmares. (There was something about that old house!)

...for still joining us in Hanoi before your consumer work even though you were sick.

...for the black Mango top you gave me. Believe me, it has gone places! :))

...for the after-work drinks we would have at Harry's. They never fail to make my day better.

...for giving me coasters from your travels. I have to show you my complete collection soon.

Thanks for teaching me how meaningful a "toast" can be. That there are a lot of things to be grateful for even at your worst days. That other people's opinions about you don't matter as much compared to what you think of yourself. That honesty starts with yourself. That happiness comes from within. That God has a grand plan for everyone.

To one of the best friends anyone can ever have, I'll miss you Clairebear! I hate you for leaving Singapore so soon! But I'm really happy Season 3 is starting out great for you.

Love,
Patet

P.S. You'll still receive random phone calls from me where I'll tell you about the most random things during my day! :) And I'll still call you whenever "Save Tonight" is playing in Timbre! Haha!
