Was playing Black and White (黑白棋) on my iPhone, 59 Vs 5 (me 59; computer 5).

Bendan was the one who taught me how to play Black and White, we used to play against each other, and I always lost, then I forced him to tell me the technique of winning LOL. 

Since then, I am a lil' expect on playing Black and White, hehe. I won most of the game that i played. Should try to challenge bendan one day :) 

we getting closer to each other in 1999. bendan sat two rows behind me in class. bendan was still shy and quiet, so we always bullied him (mind you he is no longer shy and quiet now :p). 

the only conversation we had initially were:

"can i borrow your scissor?" 

"can i borrow your glue?"

bendan even brought nail cutter to school with him everyday, so whenever there is spotcheck i will be the first one shouted for bendan to ask for nail cutter :p 

we were in the English singing competition together (together with a group of people), and we got first runner up in the competition (if i'm not mistaken). 

in one of the practices (we went to someone's house for practice prior to the competition), i was sitting on a chair, and bendan came late, there isn't enough chair so i jokingly offered him to sit together with me on my chair, and guess what, he really came forward and sit next to me. i was shocked but acted normal :) 

we both joined St John Ambulance at that time, for some reason that i couldn't remember now (might be due to his encouragement), i signed up for a camping that held by St John Ambulance. It was a terrible experience. i can't/don't know how to set up the fire for food, so i was starving most of the time, then this kind-hearted bendan came to me with instant noodle every night. 

one night, it was raining (or it wasn't?), we were "trapped" inside the camp. I saw his little "secret" in his wallet. He had a glow-in-the-dark 明 made by him in his wallet. It was written: to ming, from wei (or something similar), obviously he wanted to give that to me but wasn't daring enough to do that :p 

then on our way down the hill (it was a steep slope all the way down), i kept falling because it was raining the night before and it was slippery, again this kind hearted bendan never left me alone, he followed close behind me and lended me a hand to hold on when i need. After i reached home, i was covered with scratches and cuts all over my limbs. So i blamed him for asking me to go for that stupid camp :p

to be continue ... 

all the very best of lucks to bendan for the interview tomorrow. 

希望你会成功！加油！

we first met each other back in year 1998. we were allocated in the same class by chance, but we didn't talked much (or i should say never) to each other before as we both got the difference circle of friends. bendan was quiet and innocent back then, totally a different person from the one i know now, at least that bendan never bully me, nor sayang me :p bendan was sitting next to the treasurer of the class, so my only chance to SMILE at bendan was when i need to pay any sort of money to the treasurer. 

that's basically what happened in 1998. we didn't know each other well, just know the exist of each other, but never talk to each other, was a so called hi-bye friend. 

this blog is specially dedicated to bendan.

all the posts here are going to be about..
