I Will Remember You
Ok, maybe I'm taking things a bit too seriously. I guess I ought to be thankful being given a chance to pursue my interests and studies overseas, instead of lamenting about how unpleasant I think life would be if I'd had to settle for UNSW. Come to think of it, it seems only yesterday that I was praying so hard for just one, any one place in any place for me to study medicine. Now that I've gotten it, why do I focus on this I-think-UNSW's-not-a-good-choice thinking?
I ought to smack myself. One day anyone of you could come right up to me and hit me on the head and I wouldn't mind. I need a good ol' wackin', a wake up call. But isn't that always the case? Humans? Always discontented? Haha... shan't dwell on that topic. This post was meant to take a more positive tone.
Yea, more positive. For one, there are so so many of you guys out there that I wish to thank, give a hug. Haha. I would treat everyone to Jumbo chilli crab and seafood horfun given any chance. But I ought to warn you, my bank account is dipping way way low down.. Any further south I go my personal life savings would be gone and I'd be clinging on ever so tighly to my Mum and Dad. So, if you want a treat, I offer you either of the 2 packages:
PACKAGE A - 1) 0900 - Meet up @ designated place i.e. ECP (for the first time in history, 9am SHARP) 0915 - Proceed with a day of fun filled activities and enjoy each other(s)' company i.e. cycling, swimming, shopping, sittin' around at starbucks, relac' one corner 1300 - Lunch, anyone? Your treat (I'm paying for dinner, remember?). Preferably we go to some fine restaurant and eat to our hearts' fill. (Dou sha xiao long bao anyone?) 1500 - Continue with fun filled activities, where fun means fun and not sitting around wondering what we should do next (it'll be quite a while before I get to see you guys again so I wouldn't want to leave Singapore with a feeling of nostalgia - that the last time we met each other up was to think of what we should do next). 1730 - As the night falls and we're all getting warmed up to the much awaited dinner treat, we head on down to Jumbo and splurge overselves over the juicy chilli and pepper crabs, slurpping down the hor fun, drinking to our hearts' fill, add along the dessert that will tantalise your tastebuds, satisfy your sweet tooth and leave you craving for more. It's Seafood by the Bay matey! Well, the day's over and done and I'm $200 poorer, we either head on home (tired of thinking what we should do next) or continue with our partying till the daybreak or our heads drop. Either way, I'll always remember you as one of them who poked a hole through my pocket and I'll remember you when I'm paying for my unappealing food in Australia and I'll remember you when I study the digestive system because lunchtime just means more bread and I'll remember you when I return to Singapore because I had to take Garuda airlines back and I will remember you after I become a houseman because I'm still trying to earn back the $200 and by then, I would have forgotten that you were my friend to begin with. ;)
PACKAGE B - 0900 - Meet up @ designated place i.e. ECP (for the first time in history, 9am SHARP) 0915 - Proceed with a day of fun filled activities and enjoy each other(s)' company i.e. cycling, swimming, shopping, sittin' around at starbucks, relac' one corner 1300 - Lunch, anyone? Your treat (I'm paying for dinner, remember?). Preferably we go to some fine restaurant and eat to our hearts' fill. (Dou sha xiao long bao anyone?) 1500 - Continue with fun filled activities, where fun means fun and not sitting around wondering what we should do next (it'll be quite a while before I get to see you guys again so I wouldn't want to leave Singapore with a feeling of nostalgia - that the last time we met each other up was to think of what we should do next). 1730 - As the night falls and we suspend our party till the sun comes up programmes, we head on down to Jumbo and order that juicy chilli and pepper crabs, slurp down the hor fun, drink to our hearts' fill, add along the dessert that will tantalise your tastebuds, satisfy our sweet tooth and leave us craving for more. It's Seafood by the Bay matey! To everyone's delight, you decide to quit your procrastination and show some initiative and potential leadership qualities, you take out that $500 from your wallet and announce that it's your treat!! I marvel in awe and tears start to stream out from my eyes, ever thanking you with my fragile heart. I will always remember you. I will remember you through the good and hard times, for being my shoulder to cry on, for being my hero through all the years, for the 6 years that I'll spend in Aust. I will remember you upon my return and from then onwards, we will become the best of friends. Whenever the alarm clock of yours turns faulty or you simply can't wait to see me and have to take a day off from work, come to me and I'll prescribe you with that 'unfit for duties' golden ticket.
So, what are you waiting for? Pick up your phones and call me right away! Sign up for either Package A or B!! For a limited time only!! Don't worry, either way, I will remember you.
