wheeeeeeeeeee………
Gosh, the title reminds me of what Mich usually do in chatrooms
Just less than a week after going over to Heng Lin’s house to say goodbye to him (who’s now in Melbourne), it’s time to say goodbye to another bunch of Seafieldians; Jia Yee, Nicholas, Hui Kean and Lionel who’s going over there tonight.
So, to say farewell to them, Timothy, Michelle, Joyce, Hazwan and I (Sebastian, Tim’s sister, Cheng Choo, Chee Wei and Johnny took the other car) went all the way to KLIA for a farewell hug and wave goodbye. Hopefully, there wasn’t any police watching on the highway today, because we sped all the way there at 190kmh to reach there in time. It’s a hair raising speed, especially with what happened to Keegan in mind, but luckily Tim’s Honda Accord was sturdy enough to handle that kind of speed.
And summore my parents advised me to go slow before I left home! Yet we went along at more than halfway to takeoff speed!
We reached there with more than enough time to spare. And there we got a surprise farewell party at McD. JY’s parents just bought extra food for us when we came(thanks!). Took a few photos and chatted a while as the group split into two to see the other guys off.
In the end, all of us didn’t get to see everyone off. All because the guys quietly went first. So in a way, it was a bit wasted but at least everyone got somebody to say goodbye to. It wasn’t a tearful farewell or sth, because so many of us are going over there, so it’s like I’ll see you in a bit, or we’ll see you online (yep, modern technology sure helps). Well, my dear pet sis, I won’t miss you much since you keep bugging me with problems with your laptop, but we’ll keep in touch won’t we?
After all the farewells were over and done with, Mich took over the wheel and we all went back at a ‘leisurely’ max speed of 140kmh (Note: Mich, don’t ever let your parents see this! ;P).
While on the way, I reflected on my life so far, and felt quite confused and lost. Yes, like a boat adrift in a vast sea, with the desired land nowhere in sight. Friends are flying off there and here, and here I am, still here and not fully decided on what to do next. After all, my parents and myself are at odds with each other on where I should go next. First, they insisted that I go to Monash, then Nottingham Malaysia campus. Me, I have loftier dreams (yeah, I always try to chew off more than I can swallow, and that was one reason why I failed miserably in S’pore). For now, I just hope something works out for the best.
Then, we dropped by Cafe Flem at Pyramid for dinner/supper and chatted for a while there before coming back. While there, I got a chance to sample a martini (think it’s a red martini or sth). To illustrate how little I consume alcohol, the closest taste I can relate it to was mouthwash (actually, it’s because mouthwash consists mostly of alcohol). After all, the alcohol I drink is usually a sip or two of wine once in a while, and the little of XO my mom put into marinated meat once in a while.
And now, feeling a bit tipsy and tired plus a bit lightheaded thanks to Tim turning about there and here like a madman, causing us at the back to be tossed about there and here, here I am blogging…
And waiting…
