farewells

i was never good at goodbyes. i've learnt through the years to shield and distant thinking that the pain of parting wouldnt eat into me that bad. but i dont think so. through the past few weeks of having someone so dear, be so distant. it aint fun. really. but its so much easier when you're the one doing it. people will always leave i guess. its part and parcel of life.

i bumped into singee last night at the bar. and she was like, yeah, its only 2 years what... i think the last time i saw you was a good 3 years ago. well, i thought to myself... true.. but you're not christine. its uncomparable. sigh. :( i went through the airport farewell pictures and compared it to the many others we've taken through the years, i dont think we've changed much at all! you have to see it for yourself!

and this....*drumroollllss.....

man! look at those teeth! haha. mingdao's farewell 2002.

so go, fly off, sail off.. go coop yourself up and mull over yourself. take your time if you have to because when the foundation's set, some things just never change.... in a good way of course. and after it all, you can still come back and gloria will be here with her short arms opened wide with a smile like the father of the prodigal son..but i must add...thank God i got rid of those teeth. haha.
