sisters in crime- best friends forever...

we were related to each other by marriage. when my youngest BIL~ k'ry married his wife sue in 2005 we hardly see each other after the wedding accept on the alternate weekends that they come back to my PIL's house, during family get together or during hari raya. we talk over the phone or ym each other occasionally...only when necessary...in short we were civilized to each other when we are in the same room under the same roof or as & when the situation calls for one.

everything changed sometime in the middle of last year, when my hubby joey & his 2 brothers jomey & k'ry (sue's hubby) got involved with the recreational paintball game, at first we thought it was just going to be a one off thing... both the game & us~ meaning me & sue. however, it turn out to be something serious when all three of them actually bought a marker (paintball gun)each.
& while we waited on the men we started to get to know each other after 3 years of our cordial greetings & updates...;P

our friendships started to bloom from one paintball game to another. i remember on the boys first game, we (sue, eyna~my hubby's sister & shia~ our niece & i) went out on all girls day out to sunway pyramid... it was a weekend before her birthday (8th of july).. i bought her a teddy bear as her present when i saw the look on her face when she first saw the bear at the gift shop, knowing full well that she loves all those cuddly soft toys stuff & true enough she loved it & the look on her face just like in those MasterCard's advertisement~priceless!!

at first the boys were not very supportive on us tagging along during the game, purely on account that it wouldn't look so macholah kan with the wives hovering around but later on thought they needed us to take photographs of them during their battle..hence we officially 'unofficially' became their war journalists / photographers..& the bonding become stronger...

from paintball, the boys ventured into playing computer games-CoD4 (Call of Duty 4)& CoH (Company of Heroes)at the cybercafe with some friends. that eventually becomes hubby's day/ night care center! this actually gives us the opportunity to hang around with each other even more often by going shopping, dining, having pedicure & manicure done @ the spa next door to the cybercafe or simply enjoying each other's company by exchanging hot gossips & stuff @ the mamak's while waiting for them ( the hubbies) to finish their games...

she is not just a friend but she is also a sister to me despite our age differences. we become each others confidante, to share our feelings, our happiness, our anger & sorrow, things that sometimes the hubbies would not appreciate nor understand.
over the months we've become much closer...

the truth is i am choosy when it comes to friends. i am the kind who would observe a potential friend whether she could actually accept the crazy part of me or not. i can be very loud & sarcastic at times...

ma used to tell me when i was young that~ "it's better not to like someone new on our first meet or instantly because usually those are the people that u tend to hang out with or the one that u can count on later & those are the people that would & could become ur best friend forever then to like a person at an instance & later just couldn't bare to see each others face for any reasons whatsoever in the end..." well what she said has proven right through out my friendships experiences...

i do not want to hurt anyone who does not understand me unintentionally...
with sue, we tolerate & understand each other well. i dunno about her but i really enjoy myself around her... she can be very innocent at times & i love that about her


of course i have friends but it's been a long time since i have a best friend...
sue is not just a sister to me now but we are sisters in crime & definitely be best friends forever! Love u sis (((mwah)))
