Sweeny, better known as Serene, finally got on the plane to UK yesterday at 8+pm. So, she'll be there doing biology and shes aint coming back til she graduates (with 1st class honours definitely). The realisation just hit home, after she gave us a final wave at the immigration counter, turned left and disappeared out of sight. Then my tears flowed. I'll miss her so much. I really wish that those years abroad in UK would end up being the best time of her life. Shes really courageous to leave her comfort zone back in our small sunny island. Plus, she made many sacrifices in order to study at Bristol. If anyone deserved happiness and success, its gotta to be Sweeny. If you are reading this sween, YOU have my utmost respect, girl.
I'll miss a friend who never failed to remind us to reduce water usage, to recycle, to finish up our food, to save the environment etc. She was one of my fabulous girlfriends who made NJ life bearable, and dare i say enjoyable. She made sure we did our work and shes a great dining partner. FYI, both of us eat really slowly and we actually appreciate FISH and veggies. A person like that is truly hard to find. Shes an animal-lover and possibly a potential Steve Irwin's apprentice if he havnt left us so abruptly. Anyway, after the gathering dissipated, sally, hua n i went for dinner but they cldnt finish their pizzas. These are times when we need sweeny, cos shes our resident blackhole (in the nicest way possible, mind you.) Haha. Honest!
Well, we held a hi-tea gathering for Sweeny earlier this month, but it wasnt that successful due to much complications. Some friends of mine didnt see its importance as much i did, subsequently my anger at their absence has caused them to be pissed off at me instead. I feel sorry for the state of awkwardness between Ivy and I, but still i dont think i should be so easy on issues like trustworthiness and responsiblity. She has already disappointed me deeply for her no-show and the lack of early notification. I suppose when i confronted her about it, she was hurt by my hostility. Sorry for my tone, but if i dont tell her why im (extremely) mad at her, i dont think its a credible friendship that we have between us, if we are unable to trash things out. At the same time, I dont like to hold grudges for long. I've already forgiven her, but i doubt she has. We'll see...
On a lighter note, i hope my note reaches Sweeny soon. Im just afraid that the note will only reach her in say, Xmas? When her parents ship her stuff over then. Haha. Anyway, Sween, i wish you all the best, girlfriend. Love you lots. Take care.
