A Dedication to my F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Before starting this blog post, I would want to thank every single one of you who are still my friends.
Thank God for putting you in my life, and mould me into who I am today.

Matthew 7:3-5

How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Some of you may have only known me for a few months or maybe less than a year.


To be honest, before I became this bubbly, happy, energetic and funny little lady,

I was a big mess.
I love to be alone, always complaining about people around me.
Blaming the whole world for my miserable life, and never realize that the problem was ME.

It was not easy being my friend, trust me, it hurts quite a lot.

It's like living with a time bomb.
When I think back now, no wonder people don't want to be with me.

Especially when I'm going through the phase of changing,

I will always accidentally put my so called 'old friends' aside and only hang out with my new friends.
The problem with me is I wanted to leave my past behind so badly that I want to break the connections with my old friends too, which I then realize is a very wrong thing to do.

BUT, I'm so grateful for the people who are still my friends (actually family would be a better word)

They are really the ones who are with me through 'thick and thin'.
No matter how much I hurt them, attack them emotionally, doing unpredictable things,
they are still with me to this very day.
I'm just so happy that they did not leave me.

Thinking back about the past, I feel really sorry. As I treated them really badly.

So, I am here to say sorry to the ones that I've hurt and I hope that you will forgive me.
I cherish our friendship, and I hope that it will last till the day I see you in heaven :)

Although many things changed, but I am still Iris.

I may not be able to spend as much time with everyone as before,
because the crucial part of growing up is to prioritize and make decisions.
If I made a decision that may lessen the time to meet or be with you,
please know that it doesn't affect our friendship and it does not mean I don't care about you!
It is just me finding my way through life.

I have dreams, big dreams! And everyone of you are part of it.


I will never forget the encouragement and advice every one of you have given me,

especially the ones who are brave enough to tell me the truth "straight in my face",
because I know it is not easy to risk a friendship to tell the truth,
and I really appreciate your honesty! 
I cannot find words to describe how grateful I am now to have everyone of you who did that for me!

Thank You So Much. I just feel so blessed that I almost cry writing this blog post. :')


Again, I really hope that our friendship will last and although there may be challenges in the future,

I will try my best to keep and maintain our friendship.

To the ones that may have been 'forgotten', or 'didn't really maintained properly',

I hope that you will give me a chance to mend our friendship,
because every one of you is a blessing from God to me.

I love you all! xoxo

Cheers darlings!
