Never say goodbye.

I think nothing sums it up better than the chinese proverb that goes tian xia wu bu san zhi yan xi. Chinese has never been my forte, admittedly, but I think that it can express extremely complex ideas very elegantly in just a few characters. Amazing. The fact that I can't exactly speak fluent mandarin is irrelevant. =P

Back to the issue. Xinying left for England today. That's like God-knows-how-many-miles away! Sigh. I thought we could stay as a class and meet up regularly, even after we graduated from that hellhole. Ok...perhaps it wasn't that bad, but still, it hit me real hard how often we will be able to meet in the future. People will get jobs, have kids (*gasp* I don't think just after ten years, right? *gasp*) and some people in the class will inevitably be overseas, pursuing their dreams. We met up as a class (ok. Just 15 of us.) at King Albert Park the other day to give a quasi-farewell party to Shining, who happens to be living for Saskatchewan in Canada. I don't even know whether I got the spelling right on that one! I still remember she had to pronounce the name of the place like 3 friggin' times before I made sense of it. Yes...it's some ulu province in Canada. =)) Sigh. Another person who's going to be so far away. How many more will there be left after ten years?

Yes. I hope so.

Random thought of the day

"That must be Korean airlines or something, judging from their appearance."

*a few moments later...after more airstewardess passed by*

"Maybe it's Phillipines."

I've been so random throughout the whole day I'm scaring myself. ARGH. And I have bad hair. Double ARGH. And I listened to "If your Heart's Not in it" on the bus on the way home from the airport. Triple ARGH.

I think I just died from all that triggers.
