And it's quite alright , and goodbye for now, just look up to the stars and believe who you are, cause it's quite alright, and so long goodbye.

The french author, Anais Nin once said, "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born", and I totally agree with that quote. Although I have had many great and close friends throughout my life, I have never gotten this close, to this many, in this short time span of five months; ICPU 3rd semester (Jan-Jun 09).

This semester changed me. I was not myself coming into this semester (most of you know why), and I admit, I was lost for sometime; as I no longer had that one thing that I was so used to. I had no idea how I would go about my days from that day forth, and only dread welcomed me for those first few weeks of 09. Throughout that time, college had started, assignments were rolling in, and new friendships were formed. Somehow, I had a sense of belonging in this kaleidoscope group of old and new. Trust me, this group has to be a group where the people are from ALL walk of life. We had the musicians, the snake wranglers, divers, goths, professional bullshit-ers, cheap-asses, sportsmen, emos, blondes and what not. It is beyond doubt that I belonged to one of the most diverse groups I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I, slowly but surely, started to smile sincerely again. It felt as though the dark cloud that was over my skies all this while was slowly being blown away, and out came to sun.

Memories were made, and will forever be in my heart. Memories, a countless number of them, will never be forgotten. All those times we skipped class to have breakfast at McD's. All those times we walked to AC even though we've been there a million times over. All those random Friday after class trips to god knows where. Trolley surfing in Sunway Pyramid's roof car park, 15 people-whole row booked movie outings, joyriding in the pick up's trunk, sleepover movie marathons, basketball till night(even though we stayed back to study) and I can go on, but I don't think I want to list down everything. But hopefully I've mentioned enough to rekindle the joy we shared during those little moments we had, and moments of joy from countless other things we did. I hope what I said was sufficient enough for all those memories to flood back into your heads.

I thank all of you-- You all know who you are; For making my life a better place. All of you will forever have a special place in my heart, and I will never forget you guys.Its funny, we always thought we'd look back on our tears and laugh, but we never thought we'd look back on our laughter and cry.

Though yesterday marked an official goodbye, this, in no means is the end for us. I will forever be a friend who is ALWAYS there for each and every one of you, because all of you have done exactly that for me. We will meet again, and the friendships that have been built, will never be broken.

"Yesterday brought the beginning, tomorrow brings the end, but somewhere in the middle we've become best of friends."

"Don't be dismayed at goodbyes.
A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
And meeting again, after moments or lifetime,
is certain for those who are friends."
~Richard Bach

We WILL still be, friends forever.
