01.Part One

• Who are your best friends in life?

My best friends in life are usually those that could be trusted one. 'Best friends don't happen to be there. They're just there.' This so called phrase is very very true as you can see. Best friends will always be there for us and they rarely let you down. All these may not usually succeed but they always try to make you smile to replace that angry frown. They are just there for you when you need a helpful lift. They guards your secret seriously like a special gift. Best friends are also known as true friends. To all my true friends: I hope i'm the friend to you like you are to me.Cause friendship that we share is a special one indeed.

See me trusting you and i'll always smile whenever i'm with you. You'll know and you'll feel it yourself if you're my true friend and my best friend. =)

• Are they of the same race as you?

Friends that i'm always with or i'm close with and have the same race as me don't mean that they are my best friend. I'm not much of a racist. Haha. My true friends aren't always Malay. In fact, my chinese friends are much more closer to me than my malay friends. I'd prefer to be Chinese than being a malay. Couldn't understand myself why but surely i have a reason for being that way. I love Chinese people! Not neglecting my malay friends. I love my friends! Yay!

02. Part Two

01.Character

Basically to me, character is the most important factor to choose a friend. Their attitude and stuffs is the most important one. It would be much more better if they have the same interest as you. Most of my friends have the same interest as me and most of them are musicians. Maybe people with same interest would get them closer together. But even so if your friend don't have the same interest as you, you can try out different suffs with them and you could understand other people better. Look out to the big world. Not only to the people living around you. The way different and each individual person/people do things are so unique. Not everyone do the same stuffs together. Not many people understand the expression of music and even art. It's just so different which makes each of us are ourselves. Life isn't as simple as it may seem.

02.Circumstances

People who is your classmate, groupmate, and even have the same cca as you or etc. would usually mean that they know you much more better as they always see you and are always with you, isn't it? Which means then, obviously circumstance is important but not as important as character.

03.race

To me, race isn't important but since there are no more other options, i guess i feel that race is much more important than gender. I don't mind race that much when choosing a friend.

04.gender

Gender refers to girls and guys. There's not much of a problem with me with gender but girls are usually more understanding than guys. Not to say that guys aren't understanding. Not all guys have the same attitude. Guys can also take care of girls's feelings. It just depends on who the guy is that we're refering to. Girls usually understand girls better. But there's nothing wrong to have a guy friend. We could understand each other's gender better and who knows, even learn from them some things such as how to be strong in everything and how to control your tears?

05.age

Age don't matter to me at all except there's really a big gap, then it's over.

03.Do you think Racial Harmony Day has served it's purpose?

To me, probably yes as we could understand each other's culture more now and we could learn from each other.
