sigh sigh sigh
------------------------------------
somehow, i'm not really looking forward to the holidays. coz when they end, it means i'll only have about 3 weeks left in monash uni clayton.
..
just sayting that alone has already brought tears to my eyes.
i have grown to love and cherish this place exactly like home.
it may be because of the independence that i get,
it may be because of the freedom that i get.
but it definitely is because of the friends that i have made here in australia.

friends that cannot be found anywhere else..
it is only because of them that i stopped feeling homesick..
it is only because of them that i enjoyed life here in aussie.

it's so hard having to go back to malaysia and starting all over again..
it's so hard having to find friends that i can trust as much as these..
it's so hard having to find friends that i can really really rely on..
i've found them, and yet we still have to part.

words cannot describe what i feel..
words cannot show what i have inside..
words cannot explain why they mean so much to me..
words cannot explain the sadness i feel,
the sadness i feel long before i'm even gone.

the things that we've gone through, the ups and downs, shows how much time means.
when we were at the lowest, time was wasted for the most ridiculous reasons.
even when i said i didn't care, i still did in more ways than one.
but only because of that, do i realize how much you all mean to me.
only now do i realize why things happen for a reason. a reason like no other.

acquaintances are of no meaning to me, for acquaintances i know none.
if i speak to you, you are my friend.
if i say hi, you are my friend.
only when i look at you with query, then you are a friend-to-be.
and even if i never looked at you, at least i passed you.
even so, you are more than an acquaintance to me.

your company has always been great..
no matter how little you said..
no matter how much i said.
words more than hi and bye were exchanged.
that alone is more than enough for me to call you my friend.

the stupid things we did..
the adventures we went through together..
they all mean a lot to me,
and will be embedded in me til time prevents me from so.

our nights out..
our laughter..
our movies..
they each make me feel sadder that i have to leave so soon.
i could never stop thinking of what i'd be doing exactly one year from then..
i could not imagine any one of you being more than a few steps away from me like you are now..

so used am i to seeing all of you each day
not seeing any one of you for longer than a day makes my heart uneasy
and only a call or a knock on the door would make it go away
and then i thought..
if one day is long enough....
what would one week, one month, one sem be??

the things we talked about
the things we gossiped about
we can't do that anymore when i'm gone
i won't be updated as instantly as my extension will belong to somebody else
i won't be informed as detailed-y as i'm far away, and it costs more than energy to speak to me.
only now do i realize the value of the internet.
but then again, internet prices are high at the halls.
and msn messenger or skype doesn't just do it.
there will be a difference,
and i will be able to feel it.

i know the day will come,
where we won't be as close as we are now.
where when we come together, all we can refer to was the past.
where when we come together, all i can wish for was how i never left aussie in the first place.
but life goes on. shit happens.
but i will always remember the time where we were in everything together.
where even the thought of you being there next to me made me happy in some ways.
even when you said nothing.
even when you didn't smile.
your presence was all that mattered.

probably a year from now,
i'll be looking at the pictures smiling,
remembering those moments,
remembering those times.
it's not that i haven't been through this before,
it's not that i never got up in the end
it's just that it's a lot harder for me to go through with it this time round.
it's just that i've really gotten to love them a whole lot more through out the year.
it's just that they may be the bestest of friends that i may ever come to know, and even so, chance doesn't permit me to pursue this route.
but i guess i have to be thankful that i found them in the first place,
that i had a chance to feel this way,
that i had a chance to shed my tears for a valid reason that no one would consider unreasonable.
i'm glad i got to know the ppl that i know now.
i'm glad i found you all.
i'm glad i came to aussie.
i'm glad for living in richo.
i'm glad for all the things we've been through together.
but should the time come for me to leave,
remember one thing.
i will always remember you, and i will always care.
history plays a big part in my life, and you were a part of it.
that's what matters.
that's what is important.
i will remember you....
