One of a Kind

This post is specially dedicated to one of my best friend, Maarsja Mumu. I think this name might sound familiar to some of my blog readers, as you see that she's been mentioned a few times on my blog itself.

February OOTD

Maarsja is my close friend since Junior High. She's absolutely gorgeous, loveable, multi-talented, and smart. Since she's pretty much like me, in terms of "hipster material" and fun, we've been spending our time to collaborate and make our own little photoshoots until making our own YouTube channel. If you didn't know, we did a cover of 2NE1's Come Back Home which is uploaded in March, and now reaching 1.7k views soon!! Check it out here ~

Anyway, I still remember how we met for the first time, not to mention the first sentence that I told her hahahaha.. She was like a transfer student despite coming late in the middle of term 1. She told me that I look "arrogant" or something like bitchy but trust me, I'm not lol. Then we just started talking about K-pop and since then we began to get closer as a friend. Even though we were not very close until grade 8. Actually it's not only Maarsja, because we have this "clique" consisting of me, Maarsja, Vanessa, and Ivan (which are all featured in my OOTD posts). We might be a little bit different compared to the other kids at school, considering that we ALWAYS hang out and have our lunch TOGETHER every single day. To be honest, we don't think ourselves as the popular kids, yet we're so proud being called "freaks" due to our quirkiness yet always fun just like happy go lucky.

We are known for our own home-made parties that we plan and organize just by ourselves, yeap future event organizers we have here hahaha. So far we've held our annual Halloween Party, Valentine Party, and my batch's Farewell Party. But our favourite one will always be the Halloween Party which has been going for 4 years straight and hopefully this year we're able to hold another one. The venue is of course my house hahahaha.

I'm so happy that I can get to know those awesome people, and I'm still grateful that I'm friends with them, especially we still hang out often ever since we graduated Junior High School although we went to different schools..

Now unfortunately I just heard this shocking news that Maarsja is moving to Singapore for her further studies.. She informed me this just a few days before her departure. Luckily I managed to meet her for the last time during last week dinner with bae, but that's not even an appointment and I still had no idea this is gonna happen. So that was our last meeting and I didn't even know that's a "farewell meeting" because we planned to hang out again this Saturday..
I didn't have time to say proper farewell or give any goods or even a hug, so that all I can do is just by texting followed by this appreciation post (also instagram). I'm still shocked, disappointed, and sad at the same time.. My mind was totally not prepared for this farewell, because one of the people that I hang out with - the most is leaving to another country. Even though she said that she's gonna come back yet it might be to another country, that's even worse right. Haha this girl tsk tsk..

All I can say is that, I will never forget all the fun memories we've been through together. Like our super random Skype calls, stories about our crushes, that awkward tumblr photoshoot, recording our cover during blackout and many moree. Although I still have one more thing to do with Maarsja in my bucket list, that is to Penny boarding together with another fun photoshoot. Sigh.. I guess it has to be delayed until we meet again next time. But it's a promise, okay? :)

Afterall, we didn't realize we were making memories while we were just having fun.

I've learned that sometimes you just have to let go. Some people are meant to be in your life forever, some aren't. Friends come and go, so does a best friend. But best friends will always find their way back. Good friends are like stars in the sky. You may not always see them, but you know they're always there.

As I grow up, I realize it is less important to have lots of friends, and more important to have real ones. A best friend isn't someone who's just always there for you. It's someone who understands you a bit more than you understand yourself.

Even though we change and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not still friends.

So here's to...
the crap we talk,
the guys we stalk,
the way we hang out,
laughs we can't stop,
the gossip we spill,
the looks that could kill,
the random skype calls,
the awesome song covers,
super fun photoshoots,
home-party preparations,
infinity memories,
endless friendship..

One million memories, ten thousand jokes, one hundred shared secrets, countless fun & laughter, one reason, best friend.

Twenty years from now, I am gonna look back and remember that you were that one person who could turn every frown into a smile in a few simple words; that person who lifted my head when I was losing faith in myself, that one person who carried tears on her shoulders after every fight, every break up; that one person that accepted every decision I made, that one person who knew who I really was and that one person that made the biggest difference in my life.. my best friend.

I won't say "goodbye" because goodbyes make me sad. But I will say "farewell" and be happy for what we had. So many days, so many nights, so many chats.
Thinking to myself I hope this friendship lasts forever.
I just hope and pray that someday later we'll meet again.
As you walk away and I say "farewell".

I wish you all the best for your new journey, I hope this can be your opportunity to improve yourself for your success in the future. Stay healthy, smart, and gorgeous.

Because you are one of a kind, and you'll always be one of my favourite girl in a lifetime.
I'll never say goodbye because, I know that someday we WILL meet again and have fun like we used to.

So long Maarsja, until we meet again! :)

PS : PLEASE ADMIT THAT YOU ARE GORGEOUS, MULTI-TALENTED, AND SMART. JUST SAY YES. You are terlalu merendahkan diri! Hahahaha I love you!!
