Farewell is not Forever
It appears that around this age, this period, we start sending our friends of to faraway countries where they hope to further their studies and pursue their dreams. I have sent off a few friends already. And on Monday, we (as in we bunch of VS losers. Lol.) sent Jeremy off to Ireland, where he'll be studying medicine. And he'll next return only a year later during his term break.
We have all known Jeremy since our VS days. (Duh, if not he won't belong to the VS bunch.) Come to think of it, it has been at least 6 long years we knew each other. I recognise him as one of the most mild tempered friends I ever known. Crap, I've never seen him lose his temper before. And he is always so cheerful. Kns, let's not make it sound like we'll never see him again k?
But the funniest thing I remember about him was when the VS gang went to the Rice Table at Suntec for dinner. It was an ala-carte buffet la, meaning there is a menu where you can order any dish any amount you like. So after like 1 round of all the dishes, we were all full liao. Then Jeremy ask, "Eh, u all dun want already meh??" Then we all full liao, nua already. Eat anymore confirm puke all out. Then he said, " Ok lor, I order for myself." Then he called the waiter over. He point to the menu. "This, this this. These 3 items... I dun want. The rest give me one of each." We were all like, O_O. And the best part was, he finished them all - by himself. Lol. Oh ya, did I mention that he loves to eat??
But anyway, while my other frens blog about how they'll miss him etc, I choose to put it differently. One thing I learnt is that 'No' is never the final word; Goodbye is never forever. So its not like we won't see Jeremy again. Rather, I'm happy - happy for him that he has a chance to pursue his dreams. Yes, we'll all miss his company. But I suppose we'll all gladly forgo his company for four years, and hope that he'll return happier, better-off and successful. Right?
So to Jeremy: All The Best. Have Fun and Don't Forget Us. Till We Meet Next Year...
