Sara and Zarinah are best of friends.

They befriended one another during a
camping trip organised by their schools.
They share many things which are of similar
interests. For instance, both like bowling and

others interest. This is the basis of their
friendship.
For the past six years, their friendship
has remained strong. They have forged a

to strive to become better in whatever they
do. This quality makes the girls perform to

one another during difficult times and always
keep a lookout by making sure that they
