My Dear Cookie Monster,

It’s been 7 years since we’ve crossed each other’s paths. We were the nerds amongst a class of crap. We laughed our mouths big with all the mocking of Ng Beloh. We passed sneaky glances when she ran out of class crying. We rolled our eyes at each other at the stupid stunts NPCC made us do. You listened to me whined about my silly crush on Kitson(looking back, I wonder if my dad neglected to check my eye degree for that year).

Then we lost each other from Sec3 onwards coz our mommies decided our stay at BTSS has diminished our chances of getting a proper education. The next time I see you, there you were sitting in my CLA class! We picked up where we left off, only this time round, we have Eddie to gay-ise our lessons and Ting to miss a beat about our conversations. We had so much funning in Jiang Jing’s class, eddie & i discussing fashion across you, ting & i talking crap besides you, you & I chatting endlessly throughout the lesson.

Then we found ourselves despairing over our screwed up A-levels. And we were even almost going over together if I had signed it with you. Still, we find comfort in meeting up once in a blue moon coz we knew we were still on the same sunny island. Then you said you’re crossing an ocean. And we’re losing you!

Cookie Monster, I didn’t know I would survive my days in hostel initially. I cried myself silly for the first week coz my mommy ignored me. I refused to cook coz the pantry is on another level. But you’ll be so much better than me coz you’re determined. & I’m always online if anything! I hope you wont miss home too much coz you’ll be back in Oct! We can count the days till then!

Until then Cookie Monster! Miss you!
