For one thing, she really bullies me. There's no such thing as "letting Cindy down gently" when she starts insulting me. Being the soft-spoken introvert that I am (hehe), I'm usually left speechless.

For the 6 years of friendship with her, for the first 2 years, there has been times when I burst out crying in our arguments. Our friends would then start defending me and reprimanding Ming. I think she resented that. Hehe.

But in a sadistic way, I liked her bullying me. My argumentative skills have been learnt from her and I have never been reduced to tears by anyone else anymore. In fact, I am considered one of the "masters" in insult-ology ( study of insults) nowadays with my newer friends. All thanks to the exposure I had from talking to Ming.

Ming has to be one of the most special friends I have. In a way, she is unique because I know she is one person I can trust to scold me when I need it.
