Aighttt unc, twenty-one, can you do sum for me jkjk, ok ok ill lock in (chat was that cooked *insert instagram new emoji*).
Twin, it’s crazy how fast time flies, looking back at it I still can’t believe it’s been more than 2 years HOLEI MOLEI. Looking back at everything, I still remember that first time I saw your name and (as you know I was hella fried back then, sooo….) thought you were a dude (IM SWORRY TWIN, your honour, in my defence, i’ve only had like five Indian friends, yes that includes you and . Manav). ANYWAYS, first time I actually saw you was in MY150 (Chanwoo tried to tell me you were in da common room before dat when teams got released but like my blind ass couldn’t find you oopsies was locked into Ping Pong), the energy you had on you was crazy I could feel the yapper energy even walking up those stairs, then all I remember is Jose pulling up with a bandaged chin or something and yall started yapping, ngl my first impression of twin was a party girl like ABG but Indian (ya know). Then there was that random ah monkey dream in ESP tutorial and I got certified as a Maahi Monkey (LETS FRICKIN GO), then came that random 27th floor lock in session in March which then led to more and more “lock in” sessions (my vocab went booming like what the helli does jover mean my brain be expanding), then came the city hall snow fight tackles, dooms day eclipse watching, final presentation crash out sessions, MAAHI NINETEEN BIRFDAYYY (i love blowing balloons), summer separation (so sad *tears drip on key board*), then came hearth lock in sessions, milk up toronto (shytt so fire), bar cathedral, consultation case comp, distillery district, hot chocolate bomb at my place, the bouncy thingies, KYGO CONCERT (guys i swear that intro artist is fire), bao house nom noms, mothers dumplings, the barts lock in sessions, FIRST COOKING SESSION AT MA PLACE, the list goes on… (yea we still at march 2025, hella shiggles after dat and in summer twin your gonna have to check the photos yourself my hands lowkey sore oopsies theres like more than 4k photos of us doing shiggles, yea scary right idk how all of that is already memories what a journey twin, how far we’ve come, and yes that also includes chopped photos of you me and us)
Twin, the thing is, and I apologize in advance for my cooked vocab, I’ve never had or held a close friendship for this long, hung out with anyone else as many times as we’ve hung out together, met someone that’s so unique but also so similar to me in so many ways, and some things about me (i lowkey dont remember how much ive told you atp) I don’t even think my parents know. The amount of fun, laugh, excitement, memories, FOOD, lore, shiggles, history, and experiences that we’ve had together are so much that I feel like it’s changed me in certain ways (in a good way tho, i think), and it’s probably also partially why we both becoming more and more monkey, im just not sure if the monkey is coming from me or from you doe hehe. That’s also why I wanted to get you things in the past few months, because bros lowkey important to me I cannot lie, and I’m sorry for letting that come across as hurtful and insulting (IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN), words cannot describe how grateful and happy I am waking up everyday knowing that you still ma bestie (no pressure doe), and thank you for putting you with your fav monkey /lil chinese boy for 2+ years, it is in fact, somewhat another full-time job and you do it with grace (and the occasional eye roll, which is fair). LOVE YOU TWIN, here’s to the past 2 years, and to the countless years to come.
Here’s my wish for your birthday (a lil late but hopefully it gets queued in): that it’s soft when you need soft and loud when you need loud. that good things find you on ordinary tuesdays. that you laugh the kind of laugh that hurts the next day. and that you always, always know how loved you are.
p.s. this whole crooked little site is just a long way of saying i’m so lucky it’s you. (my bad for the vocab, still working on it twin)
your favourite monkey 🐒
