Susan Wong

Susan Wong was my best friend. She is perky, bubbly and a bit of a rebel. Susan Wong was half Chinese and half American. She was born in Hong Kong and has moved to America when she was two years old.

Susan Wong is a really talented girl. She could play the piano and dance really well. She was quite the popular girl at school but it never got to her head. She was still as kind and down to earth as ever. When Susan bought me to their house one day, she took me to her room and we gave each other a makeover. She groomed my hair using a ceramic hair straightener while I painted her fingernails red.

Susan Wong’s family transferred to another country five years after that makeover session. Her father has been accepted for a job there and so they moved. I never saw her after that. But I occasionally receive postcards and letters from her. I also write to her whenever I can until one day, the last letter that I sent came back. It seems that Susan Wong’s family has moved again.

It has been exactly 25 years now since I last saw Susan Wong. I really miss her.
