Dear Vivian,

I have known you for 820 days now, which is about 2 and a quarter years. To many people, 2 years is really not that much. Personally however, I have learnt so much in these 2 years.  To be exact, I have learnt so much from you. Normally, people always say how you should always be faithful and always hope for the best. Not you though, you brought me back to reality. From you, I have learnt that if you really want something, work for it. Have faith, but not TOO much. (Like baked beans, NEVER have too much baked beans :P )

Your smile shines the world,
Making the sun look bad,
You’re like a diamond or a pearl,
The prettiest one they have.

These 2 years have gone rather rapidly for me. I can still remember that day when I was deciding whether to send you a message on Facebook. Well, I ended up doing it because you might just be the best person standing in front of me, and I would not have known if I didn’t try it. From that day on, we became friends.

Fly to the skies above,
Visit the stars at night,
Play and scream and laugh and love,
Do all the things you like.

I didn’t know how we became close, or when it all started. As Nevershoutnever said “You can’t measure love; it has no start, it has no end”. It sort of just shifted. Before I initially migrated, I saw a different you. Not a totally different person, but just a glimpse of that Vivian inside you that you don’t often show. I shall not mention about that part of you in public, for that secret I must keep. (That rhymed…)

Cause you’re young and free,
With the journey around the Earth,
Laugh through all your pain and sorrow,
Cause there’s nothing that their worth.

We have gone through so much together; you already know so much about me. This is the reason why we sometimes have nothing to talk about. Which is also sometimes really good, we don’t have to communicate with words. We just know how we feel. :) We’ve been through some bullshit in these 2 years, but we learnt for it. I now know how you feel about certain things. Like how you love bulldogs and Harry Styles. Or Harry Styles carrying a puppy bulldog. :D

You’ve got a heart of gold,
But not everybody knows,
It could be strong as Kryptonite,
Or softer than a rose.

Your birthday will be the 820^th day since we first communicated on December 4, 2009. Everyday has been a blessing. You have made me a happier person. You guided me through life, always supporting me. Like my own personal training wheels. Vivian, you’re turning 18 in a few hours from when I’m typing this. I hope you have an amazing birthday. No more not-so-happy Happy Birthdays. Thank you for always knowing what to say. You’re like my diary, I can always talk to you. If you didn’t already know this, I want you to know that I appreciate you so much.  Truthfully, I wouldn’t know what I would do if I have not met you (Probably looking at the sky thinking, waiting for a bird to poo on my face). So I thank you Vivian, for being so much of a blessing in my life. I love you <3 and please SLEEP EARLIER WOMAN! You’ll look like a mix-breed of panda and owl. HOOT HOOT.

“How did you even become my best friend?” “Viv, I, myself have no idea”

P.S. You came out to be the best person I’ve met. Credit to Facebook for that.

P.P.S. Thank you Vivian War, for everything including being born.
You are my Grannykins. Happy Birthday Vivi <3

My memory of You <3
