If the shoe fits, wear it.

#9. To you: If time could be bought, expect some from me every time Christmas or your birthday comes around..and then some more, just because. :P

#8. To you: I think you're bordering the edge of insane, but I've gotta hand it to you for having the patience and persistence that you do. Let's hope they beat insane hands down.

#7. To you: We hardly talk anymore, and being at opposite ends of the globe doesn't help. But what I do know is that whatever you do or wherever you are, I think you will be just great. In fact, you sound just like one of those influential, dynamic, go-getter characters out of a Jeffrey Archer book! Coz that's what you have always been, and that's what you are - destined for greatness.

#6. To you: Humility. Hard work. Perseverance. Sacrificial love. All these you have taught and shown me. Now that I have seen, I will follow.

#5. To you: Thanks, but no thanks. :) That is all.

#4. To you: I hope you never have to leave or go away, it's awesome having you around! Coz seriously, I wouldn't know what to do without you.

#3. To you: There really isn't a need to be rushing things, so wait a bit, stop to smell the roses along the way - it will be worth it.

#2. To you: It's funny how we seem to be quite alike in some ways, more than we realize. But if you're anything like me, you will see what I see, in the midst of all you hear and all they say. Underneath it all.

#1. To you: I hope you find your happiness. You deserve that much. :)

p.s. Nine because that was my jersey number and I like it!
