Everyone's Flown The Coop.


Ditto to Nuria's post.
On another note, we just returned from having dinner with our now-favourite WKWSCI dean Dr. Ang Peng Hwa. And I must say, the dude knows how to work a dinner crowd.
We met him at Pride Hotel, and were then whisked away (in a CAR) to a revolving restaurant, whereupon the discovery was made that it wasn't a non-veg restuarant, and that Dr. Ang was experiencing some health trouble with vegetarian food. So we left the nice expensive looking place, and headed for the Le Meridien hotel across the river.
And we enjoyed the food, and he was an excellent host and company. Because he's totally Singaporean. I shall explain more when I can, this blog might be misconstrued in its meaning and I'm not going to risk my compliment coming out all wrong.
Back in school, we realised just how quiet the campus has gotten. Everyone's left the place, and my lovely Pretty Girl has gone as well, leaving me feeling kinda silly for not getting off my lazy ass and actually done something. But nonetheless.
Harshal left earlier today, and it was a tearless goodbye (for Nuria), but it was sad all the same. We actually set our alarms to wake up earlier to see him off at his stipulated time of 1000, but instead he came over only at about 1215. And we spoke a little before he had to leave. Passed him a copy of Go To Goa, as well as Nuria's shots from the convocation, and that was that. Another presence gone from this place, another empty hole in what we've come to call home.
I've not ever been one to dwell too much on leaving friends and acquaintances, but it is a little unnerving to know that the faces and sounds that have made this place so familiar to us will no longer be the same.
And the saddest thing of all is that as I look to the future, I know for a fact that relationships change constantly and there won't ever be a time like the time we've all spent here.
