  susan lu & janet lui. you guys impacted me so much you probably don't even realize. you guys give me a reason to smile every morning, though i know that coming to school everyday means long hours of braindrain and confusion & even more exhaustion to add to my already sleep deprived junior year- it's all worth it because i get to see my bestfriends! whom i can always confide in, whom gradually replaced the pages in my diary, whom stood by me through all the ups and downs in this roller coaster of life and lent me wide opened ears to confide in and shoulders to lean on. you guys taught me life lessons that gave me a new, optimistic perspective in life. you guys define unconditional friendship & bring me a warmth that no one has shown me before. all these memories, laughters, heartfelt moments will stay with me forever. you're the closest thing to family, next to my family. because without you guys. life just wouldn't be the same. i love you guys.

  yeah you've been called by every name. whether it be clone, twin, mini me, someone who looks like cindy, or actually cindy. (thanks for the bonpoints) i'm so thankful that i'm not an only child, that i have someone to share all my emotions with, regardless of how stupid they sound. despite my always jocular persona & sarcastic remarks, i just really want you to know that i love you! and i want to be the best sister that you could ever hope to have, someone to look after you & understand your every thought. someone whom i've always wanted/ needed. i really want to thank you for everything you've done. thank you for being a role model to me, even you're exactly two years younger and still got plenty to learn, you know how to live freely, do things the way you want them - even if it means being a nonconformist. i know you've got a great path in front of you. don't let anything i or anyone do affect how you see life itself. i'll always be here for you.

  even though many times i am neglectant and contemptuous and insatiable (no, not foodwise), i just want you to know that deep down inside. i love you guys so much. if you ever come across this, i just want to apologize for all my insolence and indifference and all those times that i've hurt your feelings. often i only saw things through a teenager's point of view, understood ideas only from the mind of an adolescent, failing to understand that all you wanted was to protect me from reality and the "world outside". i'm sorry that in my foolishness i was unable to appreciate your love and hurt you in return. if i had a chance to tell you how much i really love you and how much i needed you and resolved our differences in the past. i really would. time doesn't slow down for us. i don't want to grow up and think back to realize that all this time spent on useless fooling around could've been spent on strengthening our bond as a family. the biggest regret i have for joining ib is not having enough time for you, my family. however, i just want you to know that you're always on my mind. i love you and i wont let you down.
