i think jor hou long to write this ~_~

She is at an average height, around 165cm. In my opinion, as for girls, she’s probably already in the category of tall one. She is fair, but not pale. I can say that, she is always with a cheerful smile. Whenever I saw her smile, i can hardly be sad.
Well, I don’t think you’ll get it right if you’re trying to judge how old is she just by her look. She’s already an adult because she’s 19 this year.
We knew each other through internet gaming, so I don't know how she looks like, we decided to meet up. I first met her in Time Square, the shopping mall. She was working there, as a promoter. I’ve never been there before and I could get lost easily in a place without being accompanied. I was walking around the lobby, looking for her. After I walk around the lobby for 2 to 3 rounds, I gave up. I called her and asked for her specific location. She asked me to go down through the escalator on my left, and that’s all. She asked me to look around because she shouldn’t be talking on the phone, or else she will be scolded by her supervisor. So I’ll just have to follow the directions she gave.
I went down using the escalator and I saw her. She looked mature in the uniform of the promoters and her short hair. As I expected, she was an extrovert. When I first saw her, she was already smiling at me. Her smile was warm and friendly. Also, she doesn’t seem to be shy like me; I wasn’t the first one who started the conversation. However, the way she talks makes me feel comfortable while I’m spending time with her. I remembered I asked her, “Don’t you feel tired with all these works? You have to serve those customers, some of them may be friendly, but some of them aren’t so. Also, if you did something wrongly, you’ll be scolded badly. Isn’t that frustrating?” she answered my questions with a smile, “it is true that the works are tiring me, and it does feel annoying when you’re being scolded badly. But do you know, people learn from their mistakes? After you’re being scolded, you won’t repeat the same mistakes again. Not only that, without being scolded, you won’t be able to improve. So, this work is actually fun and interesting. I’m enjoying it.” After listening to her replies, I felt like I’m being motivated to work.
It is 31st of December 2008, New Year’s Eve. We went for a countdown at The Curve. She dressed elegantly that night. That night, I had a wonderful time. Everyone seems to be counting seconds by seconds, 2009 is approaching. Of course, we are doing the same thing like the others did. When it is 12 sharp, the fireworks brighten the sky, with different patterns and colors. It was really beautiful. While the fireworks are started, she said, “You know, fireworks may be beautiful. However, it only last for a few seconds, and eventually, its lifespan ends. Do you know why I am telling you this?” I shook my head. Slowly, she continued, “it’s because; I hope our friendship would last forever.” I didn’t know what to say, so I just nod my head.
I knew her for only a year, but she is my best friend. I truly cherish for our friendship. She is a dependable person. Whenever I had problems in my studies or even my feelings, she’s always willing to help. Her advices are always different from the ones being said often. I enjoyed spending time with her.
She changed me a lot. She taught me to be confident always as I am always being so shy. Not only that, she is always encouraging me, as a result, I am improving myself slowly. Thanks to her, I turned out to be a lot better than last time.
I do respect her very much. Just like a student respects his teacher. Well, I felt like I’m starting to rely on her. I guess it’s because she is really too willing to help whenever I’m facing some problems. Not only that, she always tells me, “not to be afraid, there is always a way out when you’re in a puzzle. If you can’t find the way, do not hesitate to ask for help.”
A thousand thanks wouldn’t be enough for the things she helped me. She really did help me so much. Her smiles, keeps me away from being sad. Her advices, brings me back to the right path. I wish I could be like her. Thanks again for what you’ve did for me. Oh and, I forgot to mention her name here. Her name is Ying.
