Okay, I would like to talk about my old friend named Ling. She… it’s been a while, maybe 10 years since we met, since we last met each other. We used to best friend, we bonded really well and because we had a lot of things in common, from music to movies to favorite artists also. But you know, things took a turn when there was a little bit misunderstanding about between us. Then our relationship turned to be really awkward. It was just a minor things, but it seemed to have significant impact on our relationship. So then we drift apart, eventually we lost touch. After that, the older I get, the more I realize that in every relationship there’s always half ups and downs. Yeah, I mean ups and downs. But what matters is how we face, we face the problems and how we fix it. So a few weeks ago on her birthday, I mean on Ling’s birthday, I reconnected to her on social media and sent her wishes. Surprisingly, she responded positively and we started talking again. We shared, we caught up about our lives, about our lives and our… yeah, everything’s around us. So right now I feel like, yeah, it’s found really good to be reconnected with her after a long time. And right now I’m so happy that I can, that we were able to mend our relationship. Yeah.

Okay, I would like to talk about my old friend named Ling. It's been a while, maybe 10 years since we last met each other. We used to be best friends; we bonded really well because we had a lot of things in common, from music to movies to favorite artists. But you know, things took a turn when there was a little misunderstanding between us. Our relationship became really awkward. It was just a minor thing, but it seemed to have a significant impact on our relationship. So then we drifted apart, and eventually, we lost touch. As I got older, I realized that in every relationship, there are always ups and downs. What matters is how we face the problems and how we fix them. A few weeks ago, on her birthday, I reconnected with her on social media and sent her wishes. Surprisingly, she responded positively, and we started talking again. We caught up about our lives and everything around us. Right now, I feel like it's really good to be reconnected with her after a long time. I'm so happy that we were able to mend our relationship.
