I just had to dedicate this post to my beloved e4. After reading all the other blogs, I was really touched. I guess, we all have the same sentiments.
e4 was formed at Bishan Junction 8 in the year 2004. Short for Evil 4, we clicked together because of our love for 5566. Why evil 4 u might ask. Cause we pass time during the long hours queue-ing up to see our idols, by laughing at other people and being the noisiest ones around. Yes, we do bitch about people and we find "pleasure" in that. That's why we're evil.
We, being evil, have ranked ourselves in e4. Our president, the most evil one, is Samantha. And I, am the vice-president. Shuyi is, I think, our HR manager or something. And Peishan was our secretary, but was later demoted to toilet cleaner and still is the toilet cleaner. Haha. So from this order, you can see the level of evilness in each of us.
Why did I mention all these above? Cause e4 is special. How special? Very special. We knew each other through our love for 5566. Usually these kind of friendships don't last. They would usually disappear as the love for the idol disappears. But not in the case of e4. We are no longer interested in 5566. But we still meet up and chat. And most importantly, we have fun. Not an awkward gathering. e4 has met up for many reasons. Christmas, where we went to Sam's hall to have steamboat and exchanged gifts. Birthdays, Shuyi's 21st birthday, and of the recent celebration of PS's birthday and also the joint birthday celebration we had for Shuyi and Samantha last October at my house. We even celebrate the e4 anniversary! Haha. Of course, many more, which I cannot remember at the moment. My memory is failing me.
I would dare say that not all friendships are like that. For me, I'm probably closer to e4 then to my primary school classmates. Even secondary or JC. Why? Cause, when we haven't met in a while, I would have the urge to want to arrange an outing with e4 and meet them. No such urge to meet my classmates though. I don't know. e4 is really very special to me. I really thank fate for letting me meet such wonderful people. Maybe to others, after reading this post, still do not think that there is anything special about our friendship. But all I can say is, you won't truly understand unless you experience it yourself. An analogy. Most of us worked part time during the holidays before. But are you so close to them such that you still chat with them, and meet up with them. If yes, then you'll probably understand as the friendship forged is of the same type. If no, which is think is the more likely answer, then I'll tell you, it's hard to find friendships like that.
To end it all.
e4, I LOVE YOU! You guys will always have a place in my heart and I'm really glad to have know you guys. Hope this friendship will continue and last on and on so that we can celebrate our 20th anniversary and even more! e4, the greatest! :)
