Friends and Time

Yesterday, i re-enrolled for my last session in my BE(Mechanical). 2006. has it been that long? have i really spent that long a period in Oz? the last time i checked, it was only 2002 when i enrolled for the first time, being introduced to Flowerger and Caffeine Addict, looking around Australia and the University with wide-eyed wonder, probably acting and looking like an idiot and suaw-ku. of coz, things haven't changed much since. i still meet up with flowerger and caffeine addict (to their eternal regret >.<), no longer look around with wide-eyed wonder, but with dull-eyed interest and i'm still an idiot (i'm sure flowerger will agree vehemently on this >.<).

has it really been three and half years since then? darn... where does time go? an answer to my own question: either in front of us, or behind us, depending on how you look at it. see? i'm still behaving like an idiot, answering my own questions (i can see flowerger nodding her head so violently it looks like its gonna fall off >.<)

but seriously, i can't believe it has been close to four years that i've spent in Oz and knowing all of my friends. in six months, i will graduate (hopefully, and barring any unforeseen circumstances *trying to grab some wood to touch*) and join the workforce (better term for 'rat-race'). sheesh. now i wish i can continue studying. i'm absolutely dreading, detesting and not looking forward to waking up early every morning. (-.-)

it has been a good three and a half years and it was my pleasure and honour to meet all of you (yes yes, you too, flowerger, and stop trying to look over your shoulder!). hugs (hugs only, judess, no kisses, not even under a mistletoe :p) and thanks for putting up with me, my inital and presently-sometimes-relapsing kan-chiong-ness, my blurness and idiot-ness (all right all right, flowerger and pinkys, stop beating it to the ground, dammit! >.<). i'm grateful for knowing all of you and most especially, my oling oliphant. i count those years and the up-coming ones as the happiest time of my life. i've found the wife of my heart and friends who will be there when i need them (hopefully! >.<).

all right. now that we've gotten that out of the way, do i get bigger christmas presents/angbaos? *grins* ok, i better run. (i can see flowerger leading pinkys, judess and the others, advancing on me with grim faces, now scrabbling and running for my life).

*throwing a shout while racing away* see ya guys tomorrow at gathering! :)
