Finally, I'm Leaving

I think this will be my last post before I leave for Japan. Possibly I'll not be able to send any post within the first week I reach there. Depends on whether I have internet connection. But I guess it wont be too long before I'm back blogging. Anyway, tomorrow will be, well, I don't know how should I put it. In terms of feelings, there's everything: happy, anxious, sad. It's just everything. Happy coz finally I'll be going there, while feeling anxious on what's ahead. Sad, coz I'll be leaving my family, especially my mum. And friends as well (including some which I know I'll be missing them).

I'll be going down to PJ in the morning with my family to check-in into the hotel first. And we'll be heading down KLIA in the evening. There's something I know what I'll do when in the airport. Maybe some of you find it rather over-emotional , but I'm sure I'll be (at least) sheeding my tears. That's something for sure.

Looi promised me that he'll be sending me off at the airport as well, although he got a swimming test late tomorrow. Hope it won't be too rush for him. Whether you are coming alone or with her (if you succeed), I know I'll be having a hard time when I'm leaving. As you once told me, 'perpisahan is sad'. And now I know how true is that. Anyway, I know there's almost no chance of you not coming alone (sorry if I've used no/not too many times until it took you some time to digest it). What you told me about what happened last Friday is enough to explain it, I guess. Remember the printer thing? That's the first sign. And what happened tonight (which I told you) just summed up everything. So I think the chance is just next to impossible for you to bring her along.

Never mind about that. I was just as if in my own wonderland, writing about those stuff. So, I'm off to Japan tomorrow night (I know I've been repeating this). We'll be reaching Tokyo in the morning, around 7am and be staying there for a night, before we split into our colleges. As for me, I'll be heading to Nagaoka by shinkansen (bullets train) along with Yan Kuang, Joann, Ridzuan, and a few others.

That's all for this time. I could possibly start off my very first blog posting in Japan in Japanese. But no worries, as I'll post in with the translation as well. To my grandma and aunties, thanks for your wishes and presents, plus ang pows as well. And to all my friends here in Malaysia, thanks a lot for those SMSs, emails and maybe through other ways in sending me your best wishes. Hoping to see you guys again and do keep in touch always =) さようなら (Sayounara).

別れは辛いです。両親、兄弟、親類、友達、また誰か。。。彼らのことを懐かします。

(OGA Annual Dinner) And Farewell

Before I go any further, I just got to know that my flight will be delayed for 2 days. So now I'll be flying on Wednesday night! Kinda last minute thing, but I think there's no problem about it. It just mean that I can spend more time here.

I'll continue with this farewell thing. As the title suggests, I have no choice but to put the OGA thing there coz we did our farewell at the annual dinner. That's the reason that bracket is there. Never mind about that. Anyway, we asked for a table for Class 04. It was subsidised by Mr Loh (if I'm not mistaken). Actual ticket price was RM35, but we got it for just RM15. So, we save some there.

I have no idea what's going on on the stage

At first, there were 2 vacant place left on our table. But when all were there, it was full. Kinda funny. I'm not sure who filled those 2 places. Even Ferdi got to tell Mun Keong (who just arrived from KL that night) not to come coz no more places left. So who were those 10 from our table. Ferdi, Zhen Hui, Kelvin, Han Boon, Chao Jin, Tiong Ming, Chin Fong, Gabriel, Chen Yip and me, of course.

We just chatted through the night. We managed to catch up with some of the SGI's teachers who were there, like Pn. Kuna, Pn. Aeria, Pn. Chan and Mr. Hooi. Mr. Onn was with them as well. And the ever funny teacher came to our table to yam seng too. Did you belanja our table for the beers, sir? We wasn't sure about that actually... Haha... But it was Han Boon who asked Mr. Onn to come over. But he misunderstood and called for beers for our table! Everyone drank (not drunk!), even Zhen Hui (it was his first time). But for Gabriel, Mr. Chan got to help him with it coz he didn't drink it at all, not even a single drop!

here we go

and again...

Later it continue with songs from a band from somewhere. Some of them even went dancing. Mr. Onn, accompanied by some formers students did cha-cha dance. It was not bad at all. The dinner ended with a lucky draw. But, of 10 of us from the table of Class 04, not even a single of us got lucky this time. Anyway, it was nice to meet up with them before I leave for Japan next Monday. But didn't I mention just now that my flight will be delayed for 2 days?

Well, I don’t know if you've realise it, but today's April 1st. And yea, it's Aprils Fool. Was it lame? Haha!

P/S: My flight will still be as scheduled earlier, which is on the 2nd April midnight.

明日日本に出発します。突然、早すぎると感じています。
