i still cry

Im feeling more than a little pensive now.

Day by day, friends and loved ones leave.

First, Jason dropped me an SMS on the airplane bidding goodbye. WHAT? My bad for not taking note of the date. May his days at US not be long before he returns for holidays.

Following that was a whole hoo-ha about Jon's departure accompanying a slew of related problems. He was to leave later last night but his ailing health is keeping him here for the time-being till semester at Tsing Hwa begins. No more back-packing trip to Russia and Mongolia, boy! 2 more weeks of company, 2 more weeks of meeting up with people, 2 more weeks of reunion with his extended family {of course, mutually exclusive though}. May he get well the soonest.

Few days ago, I received an SMS from Mr B saying he's been appointed the Country Manager for the company at the Indo office, effective from 1 Sep 2006. Yes, im happy for him for the promotion, especially since Country Manager's the highest in the company hierachy outside US. No, im unhappy that i'd never get to see him anymore since he's not even a Singaporean; unless for corporate functions. His newly acquired car {and an old one} and house have to go to waste then. anybody interested to rent a private condo? He has not even moved in! WTF! when asked how he's managing it, he said "... they're just chattel. easily taken care of. wat's more diff to manage is human element ..." it's so damn depressing to see people go.

Then it's Charles' turn soon. several years at some europe law school. wonder if he'd even remember me when he returns. Yes for sure... but hope things wont change too much then. of course there'd be vacations.... but wld we get to meet then?

On the brighter hindside, my girlfriends are returning this year end {Fel for good!}.... yay!

See, that's why i hate close friendships. All pain, some gain. i dont handle departures very well you see...
