today's experience of sending a fren off for the first time had an impact on me.. as in sending a fren off for good for the first time. see man had gone back. didnt really felt so much till the point when see man's image got futher and further.. soon out of sight. the thing that really struck me was what wenchuan said.. he said something like "the friend who walked arnd in sch with you for the past 2yrs just left..." it was then that i could no long hold back what was welled up in my eyes anymore. i didnt go to the airport expecting myself to react in this manner. or rather for it to turn out like that. it just occured to me that things will never be the same again. though 2yrs might not be a long period of time, but it's long enough to be a vivid memory. will always remember the days we survived through the many lectures and tutorials.. and you-noe-who's lessons. those were the days chiong-ing econs essays during our break time. they will never happen again anymore.. but left as memory in our minds. i guess 'bridging the gap' and mahjong sessions will only be possible with 4hrs of flight now. our gatherings will not be as complete as before.

Hope you'll be happier back home with your family. luv ya.

And I never thought I`d feel this way

And as far as I`m concerned

I`m glad I got the chance to say

That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away,

Well, then close your eyes and try,

To feel the way we do today,

And then if you can remember,

Keep smiling, keep shining,

Knowing you can always count on me,

for sure, that`s what friends are for,

For good times, and bad times,

I`ll be on your side forevermore,

That`s what friends are for.

Well, you came and opened me

And now there`s so much more I see

And so by the way, I thank you

And then for the times we`re apart,

Well, then close your eyes and know

These words are coming from my heart

And then if you can remember,

Keep smiling, keep shining,

Knowing you can always count on me,

For sure, that`s what friends are for,

For good times, and bad times,

I`ll be on your side forevermore,

That`s what friends are for,

Keep smiling, keep shining,

Knowing you can always count on me,

For sure, that`s what friends are for,

For good times, and bad times,

I`ll be on your side forevermore,

That`s what friends are for,

Keep smiling, keep shining,

Knowing you can always count on me,

for sure, that`s what friends are for.

For good times, and bad times,

I`ll be on your side forevermore,

That`s what friends are for.
