Is there anyone you can easily picture yourself goofing around with? Given the chance to befriend anyone in (or out of) this world - who would it be? In this post, we let our imaginations run wild and reveal the friendships we want to have with people or fictional characters that we may or will never meet.
YU TING WOULD LIKE TO BE FRIENDS WITH
Jared Dunn from Silicon Valley (HBO)
Yu Ting’s character of choice is Jared Dunn from the HBO series Silicon Valley. In the series, Jared is the Business Developer of Pied Piper, an up-and-coming tech startup in Palo Alto.
What Yu Ting likes about Jared

“I simply imagine that my skeleton is me and my body is my house. That way I’m always home.” — Jared Dunn
If Jared was Yu Ting’s friend
“We would geek out on corporate techniques and share our project management tips with each other. He would definitely have my back and I could easily count on him,” said Yu Ting.
NELLA WOULD LIKE TO BE FRIENDS WITH

EVELYN WOULD LIKE TO BE FRIENDS WITH
Doraemon
Evelyn’s character of choice is Doraemon the robot cat, main character of the japanese manga series. The manga focuses on Doraemon’s mission to travel back in time to help Nobita Nobi (also known as Noby) out of being a bum so that he can have a better life in the future.
What Evelyn likes about Doraemon
The gadgets that he can produce
His ability to time travel
His patience and forgiving attitude towards Nobita
His loyalty
If Doraemon was Evelyn’s friend
“Life wouldn’t be boring anymore as he has so many cool gadgets that I can use. I think Doreamon is also very wise and he will always push me to become a better person like how he does for his partner in crime,” said Evelyn.
MARIA WOULD LIKE TO BE FRIENDS WITH
John Mayer
This man needs no introduction. According to Maria, he is not only an incredible musician but also a very funny person. If you follow John Mayer on Instagram or Youtube, you have probably seen a few of his funny videos or heard him make a joke at a concert.
“It’d be really cool if we were friends. I feel like we have the same sense of humour and we would come up with silly video ideas together,” said Maria.
It is funny how sometimes we feel like we know someone even though we have never met them in person before. If we think about it more, maybe we like these people or characters because they remind us so much of the friends we have around us. Perhaps we already have them right under our noses and we just didn’t know it.
