it had been 5 days plus since Ming left. and that day i didnt shed a single tear. its not like it didnt pull at my heartstring, that pain, the fact that you know you will never see him again. its too overpowering. and now jus the act of typing it makes me feel like crying. all the suppressed sadness that is within me added on with the number of people i know that are getting retained. WEll. that day he(ming) left. it was a day that i believe the airport would experience the largest no of ppl at the departure area, just to send him off. all the snr SCs, al the scholars, 1607, some OG mates etc. as there was so many people, i hardly get to talk to him. i know i will regret not talking to him but... there's hardly time to talk. can u imagine if every one of jus takin at least 5 minutes to hug him and to say our parting words. i dont know. just felt so sad. had to wave to him even when he's in the plane. and the most amazing thng that happen that is even more saddening is that CK actually cried. After almost 8 yrs of his life he finally drop some tears. and its not like the kind with the eyes wet, his tears went on for some time. that was really depressing sight. He should be the strongest among us, yet... this also goes to show how deep a friendship can be forge. YES. the time doesnt matter, be it long or short. frinedships can still be made and kept. after so long...

i think i need to say this. some may disagree but its okays. when he left, i felt that there's this peace in my heart. maybe its the fact that he's gonna be in safe hands--his fam, and that he'll have people to look after him. and he's like stil sick(which is v long le). Im sure his parents will ensure that he gets well soon. and i heard from my friend that he has long to go back for quite some time le. it seems to me that he'll be happier back there, as much as he misses his friends here. yupp. so maybe it might be better for him to leave. maybe its better for him to be with his family. maybe... we never know because the one step he took will change our lives forever. coz he had become part of our memories that we'll never forget. (sounds like he attempt suicide. oops*)

and this last bit goes to all fellow 1607, im sure all of us are still missing him. in our daily lives, there will be certain things that will remind us of him. So, let's just keep the memories stored in a part of our hearts. some part that when we look back some day, we will be reminded of what a good friend we have:D cheers people and stay strong. im sure he doesnt want us to be sad.

keep going the last mile!
