i once had a neighbour who happened to be my first real friend or maybe you could even call her my best friend. her name was Petrina Chang or Pei Pei. We were the same age and we were both the youngest in our families.
We basically grew up together and did nearly everything together. Everyday after school without fail we would cling to the side of our houses and scream for each other at the top of our lungs. This was of course before we found out how much easier the telephone was but it grew into a tradition and we prefered it that way.
i remember how we used to be addicted to that nintendo game cartridge thing where you plugged it into the tv and played video games. she had one and i didnt and i was there after school nearly everyday. we shared a favourite game. it was about a clown in a circus and he had to do things like roll on a ball and jump over things or ride on a lion and jump through rings of fire.
We played games like masak masak and used chalk to draw hopscotch on the road. i remember we even filled gloved with water and threw them about like water balloons.
but one day there was a rift between our families and we were told not to play with each other. from there on we drifted apart and once best friends were no longer even friends.
i wonder where is she now.
and would she even remember me….
