Appreciation
Sunday, July 2 2006
Met up with different groups of friends during the past 4 days to "celebrate" my departure to Shanghai for Global Immersion Programme. I would like to show my appreciation to all of them as they are people who have stepped into my life in one way or another. It might sound that I am mushy or being overly emotional, but trust me, leaving is never as hard as when it is really happening. I am looking forward to the new experience that I will be having in Shanghai, to look around and learn.(Ha, maybe at the same time , to brush up my chinese)
Coming back to the topic of appreciation, I would first like to thank my friends from NTU. The mushroom pot that we had was enjoyable, or shall I say the company that I had made up for any flaws present.Glad to know that people who are going back to school have finalised their timetable and that people who will be working on their attachment have settled in. As they move forward , I too will be embarking on my adventure in 2 days time. Really hope to see you guys real soon, ha but we will be only physically united in NTU in one year time.
Second group of people that I would like to show my appreciation to my primary school friends. People , you know who you are, the list is too long to be written, anyway, it is to the 15 of you.Dinner at Manhatten was nice, not exactly fantastic because it was filling. But considering my first time there, well, would give it 4 out of 5 stars. Nice to hear that the guys will be starting school soon, and some of the girls are already on their way in becoming career women, ha ! And one particular friend, Li Hong, who will be entering army on 7th July.(All the best!) You guys are really an excellent group of people to hang out with, because you never fail to make me laugh.Especially Susan and Wei Fu........ha, Rui fen too. As partyworld, Wei Fu did great in impersonating Alex To, and well, Miss Rui Fen did well in all songs, ha. Overall, we had a good time.
Thirdly, would like to thank my VJC friends. We had a gathering at Ding Ta Feng and Coffee Club Express in Taka.The guys like Ian, Jonathan and You Yi will be flying off to States while I am in Shanghai, thus will not be able to see them off. (So saying Bon Vouyage to them in advance and take care!) I am sure they excel and do us proud. It is a friutful gathering as I was updated about things that were happening or had happened. They too educated me with places that they have visited. I can't help but be amazed that Ian actually spent 2 months in Vietnam and Cambodia.I think that it is quite an achievement.
Last but not least, I would like to thank a special friend, Wei Ting, who met me on Saturday(was suppose to meet up with the rest of the clarinetist from Vjc band, but due to some reason they were unable to make it, Would still want to thank them because we shared good times together.).To you, I don't think there is anything else to say because think you know almost everything, ha,but would still like to take this opportunity to say a big thanks for being there when I need you. It is always relaxing and fun chatting with you. (Wai Man, don't be jealous because i know that you are one friend that i can count on too) Anyway, things that are left unsaid are always sweeter so i shan't say much, ha.
To end off, I too would like to thank my family, including my aunts, grandparents, people who care for me. I know that some are concern over my stay in Shanghai, but would like to let them know that I will take care of myself , so pls don't be too worried . Big Hug to all!! Stay happy , stay healthy!!!
(All mentioned above, named or un-named matters to me, love you all guys)
