Dedication

曾, has it been 10 years already?
Guess we've known each other long enough to exclude social practices like "celebrating birthdays" eh?

Tracing back, don't you think the journey was all in all... extensive?
I remembered the times when we were still naive and ignorant.
The conflicting ideas we used to have which led to meaningless arguments.
Ironic isn't it? Those arguments didn't even concern us in the first place!

Times have changed, retraction transpires; people no longer remember the promises made at the point of impulse.
Do people still remember? Or am I just being cynical?
We witnessed change, seen the ugly sight of human nature and made absurd mistakes.
Wouldn't it be great if we could undo bad choices and alter distressing situations to our advantage?

These 10 years meant entireness in understanding.
It redefines the essence of friendship and forges even stronger bonds.
I can't really describe what this friendship encompasses, but for all I know, it's different.

I'm glad for your unceremonius meeting with "Romeo". Personally, I can't think of a better candidate. No one can match that maturity level of yours. Even though I haven't met him yet, I have good sentiments about him. Nevertheless, keep in mind to expliot and utilize like I always tell you to even though you profusely ignore my advices. Your greedy friend here needs to experience royal treatment! =D

Jokes aside, hope that the number '25' signifies growth and a closer step towards the dreaded "adulthood" in life.

Lastly, Happy Birthday! My Friend!
