And so it come to pass, that I'll be embarking on another phase of my life in another astral plane. As it stands today, I've already drifted far away from you all, but that is hardly new, as I was never too close to you all to begin with.
I thank all for the times we had, I thank all for the pain we shared, I thank all for the company. Though I may not have spoken to all of you at the same close level, your presence is something that I will always miss when I'm gone.
Thanks to BK for the initial boost in J1 and the carrom and wrestling; thanks to Harish for being the support guy; thanks to Sadu for all the fun times; thanks to Jiren for being L****'s second favourite student; thanks to Edward for being L****'s favourite student; thanks to Wudi for his empowering presence; thanks to Zhengtong for being an inspiration as the class polar bear; thanks to Chinghua for being the loyal friend he is; thanks to Yongji for showing me a different type of life; thanks to Weihong for pushing me even further in J2; thanks to Qingyao for giving me confidence in myself; thanks to Peiyi for concurring with Qingyao about my eyes; thanks to Melissa for providing much needed comic relief; thanks to Pauline for being a part of the class; thanks to Karen for showing me how far one can go in AO Chinese; thanks to Yixiu for showing me how soft steeliness can be noncontradictory; thanks to Andrea for helping me deflect arrows and lastly, thanks to June for helping me realise that I am human after all.
*sigh*
I guess it is time to just say; until we meet again.

Hi mun thye,
I do understand that tangling feeling you have, for you are embarking on another phase of life, with lots of unknowns scattered ahead. however, these unknowns are bound to be better, or perhaps, broader experiences which you will carry with you in future. and i am sure you know that!
I also understand the effort you have been making to gel the class post graduation. however, as i have said previously, somehow someway we did not maintain that contact the best that we could, for so many reasons. and it's painful to know you feel so much for the class yet it doesn't seem much reciprocated.
However, then again, advancing forward and leaving others behind, literally, ain't a bad thing at all. we've got to see a brighter side of things man. and i believe you do see things in that light.
Whatever the case is, enjoy your studies in foreign land. so, in this new phase of life of yours, hurdle far!
Regards,
BK
Hi Mun Thye,
Thanks for appreciating this class. Perhaps if I'd done a better job as a CT rep, there would have been a bit more class spirit. But I guess, let bygones be bygones.
Having the opportunity to study overseas is not something everyone can have. It is definitely something to be excited about, yet at the same time, it is also a double-edged sword. Having a circle of close friends around will definitely ease the transition and the homesickness. Do take the time to get to know people when you go over.
But, despite the earlier paragraph, please still do have faith that it will be a positive experience with opportunity aplenty for broadening your horizons, exploring new territories and uncovering hidden talents.
Good luck with your studies!
Best wishes,
June
Er, I'm sorry I'm not coming up with an intellectual comment nicely paragraphed. Afterall, I'm here for comic relief. Haha! Anyway, just wanna wish you all the best :)
