All the best my friend..

On Saturday.. I went to the airport to send my friend Robin off. He will be working in Japan for an indefinite period which means it could be some years before I ever gonna see him again. Would like to thank him for all the help he has given me in enabling me to recruit both Priscillia and Carmen, and i wish him all the best in his work in Tokyo.

Managed to catch up with a few friends at the airport as well. Robin was my secondary school classmate and naturally a few of us were there to send him off. I just couldnt describe how I really feel about him leaving. He has been a permanent fixture every Fri when we go Bukit Timah for our weekly Dota. Maybe it's not about the Dota. Maybe it's just sad to see a friend leaving for such a long period of time. I have a few friends who happen to leave for overseas as well and it's been quite some time since i have seen them.

I have not seen Jiajia ever since she left for Canada 5 years ago. I have not since Jiahui since she went back to Australia 1 year ago. It's been soooooo long since Daisy went to Britain for studies. SHe might be back.. but I still haven get the chance to meet up. Yuxian has been missing for over a year since leaving for Perth. Hahaha.. And Siangwei is in Beijing for the past 6 months. There are many more.. in fact.. i really lost count. Let's hope they come back soon.

Maybe it's like that. When we reach a certain age.. we realise that parting becomes a common fixture in our chronological calendar. Oh well... I treasure all my friends. And my previous relationship allowed me to learn to treasure my friends even more.

Alright.. I will post some pictures that my brother took at Live Earth and update them. Till then....

Love
