Annals of a graduating student

Its not really the time to be writing this kind of a post, but since i'm bored out of my mind studying and completing my FYP report, here goes nothing.

As of now, some of us have already taken a foot out of NTU soil (hint- he's a CS Student) and into the vast world of careers and commitments.
Some of us have already made personal commitments with various member/s of the opposite sex (or some of the same sex).
Some of us have already signed their life away to blood sucking organisations or government institutions. (read "Peanuts for Monkeys - Working in the 21st century"

So new paths have to been decided and some have already started on their journey.
At this point in time, thinking about my choices and possibilites, i'm experiencing a barrage of emotions that are unleashed partially due to the time of the night and my 3 consecutive cups of Kopi-O.

As we engage on our next stages in life, new relationships will be made and some old ones inevitably broken or forgotten. I've come to think of us hallx50-ians as a bunch of misfits that have somehow managed to weave each other into a seamless patchwork family. One with beautiful colors, intricate designs and of first-class workmanship, (1000 thread count)

Like the saying goes, old friends are like old clothes, they get more comfortable as you wear them more often. And in this 4 years, I have accumulated many old "clothes" that i have found to be utterly comfortable and unberable to discard.

I guess all i want now, is to be comforted by the fact that soon, we'll be having another bbq (hosted in honor of Felix, Terence, Graduating students and whatever reasons we can come up with), that we'll somehow be together during Dec 2008 eating turkey and fruitcake (without the roasting by the fire), that during CNY 2009 we'll be munching bagua at some poor accomodating soul's house and shouting Ban LUCK!!, and during alumni day 2009, we'll be back reminising about jasen's failed attemps at irritating patch and felicia. (god bless her furry soul)

With a little luck, maybe (just maybe), we'll soon be fighting to be each other's bestman or bridesmaids.
Or we might be calling up each other for another round of majong/soccer or golf.
Who knows, in a little more than 30 years, some of us might end up being entwined once again as family in-laws.

There's little more that needs to be said, tomorrow i'll probably end up having to face joking remarks like "eh james dun be emo leh".

So just remember to sms me and wish me happy new year and merry christmas in the years to come, be it a personal message or one of those dumb festive jokes.
Let me stay a part of your memory and funny stories that you'll tell to your new friends.

For now, cheers, study hard and I'll seeya later...

XOXO
