“As much as you care about others, care for yourself first. Because at the end of the day, when it’s 3am and you’re in your room, you only got yourself. Love yourself.” - F.H I don’t know how many times he has said that throughout our friendship. I am reminded everyday of how thankful I am that we crossed paths earlier this year. We started as just normal friends. He would ask me out for a meal or two. Usually it would be dinner and/or supper. That’s when we realised we shared the love for something in common; teh (tea).  In case you’re wondering: - Teh tarik is a hot milk tea beverage which can be commonly found in restaurants, outdoor stalls and kopi tiams within the Southeast Asian countries of Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore.
