My Best Friend

My best friend is a very special person. He is a very funny person as well. He is Ashen Weerasinghe. He lives in Mathugama. He has two sisters and they are twins. His mother is a good housewife and father is a director at NAITA. His birthday is on 17th September. He is very proud about his birthday because many great people have birthdays on that day.

I met him when I was new to CWW Kannangara Central College at Mathugama. After scholarship examination I entered that school. After entering to this school I faced an exam which was selecting students for English medium stream. He and my self both got selected from this exam when we were at grade 6. Since that we are best friends. But in grade 8 he left from English medium to Sinhala medium stream. Though he left our connection never ended and still goes on. Actually he is short. We called him as පානා. As well as he is a very famous character in the school due to his vocal ability. In OLs he and I got same results as well. He got 8 As and 1 C which is for English Literature. Till OLs we didn't participate same tution classes due to our stream change. But after OLs we went to same classes and sat on same bunches. We both did ALs in maths stream in Sinhala medium. Like school in tution classes he is also a famous character. In ALs we were not in same class but he was in our class when there was a free time. After 1st attempt we both got normal results. We both did exam again. In that time I went to his house and we studied together. Whenever there is a free time I am in his house though there are about 20km between our houses. We worked harder after 1st attempt he got 37th rank in district level and I got 140th rank. He was very upset about my rank than me because he thought I would get a high rank than him. But he is very talented. He got selected for Engineering at University of Peradeniya. I got selected for CS. But I did exam again and got entered to this university. He supported me alot at that time. Though we are in two different universities we are still best friends and we are waiting eargerly for some vacation.

We went many trips at that time. He is the trip organizer. We go trips definitely because he is the organizer. If there is no one to go a trip he goes alone. He is like that. He want to a work at any cost. I admire that quality very much. In recent we were unable to go any trip due to unavailability of time. Also we did many charity works in Mathugama. He has a different thinking towards anything. That is why I told earlier he is a very special person.

Now he is studying civil engineering at University of Peradeniya. Also in there he is a very popular guy. There are a set of friends as well in our group. They are also engineers. We worked together and this person is very special to me. Our friendship is now about 12 years and goes on. Also he has photography skills. Now he is our official photographer when we are going trips. Also he is our main internet supplier. When we are in Mathugama we never miss a chance to go his house. By the way he likes to sleep very much. I am the person who goes to his house and wake up him. After he waked up we are going to classes at that time. Still he is same.

He is not selfish. He helps always whenever I asked a help. After we both went to universities recently I was unable to visit him. But he calls me and asks about how's life at University and gives tips how to behave at University. Because he has one year experience than me and he tells everything about his university.

Due to these characteristics he is very unique and very special. I repeating this word special because actually he is a that kind of person. A direct forward guy who have many contacts with many people and I am very blessed to have a such person as my best friend. If he knows I wrote this much about him he will be suprised because myself and others are insulting him always. Those insultings are for jokes only actually. He is the most funniest and calm person from my all friends. Because I don't remember instances where he got angry.

There is a lot to write about him. His stupid works and there are so many things. So finally he is a good friend to have as best friend. It's a blessing actually.
