Farewell, farewell, farewell

This past one month I have said goodbyes to 3 people and the past one year I have said a dozen others...

Farewell isn't really an easy thing to say, especially to a friend of whom you cherished, and spent a significant amount of time together... a bond that seems too hard for distance to seperate...simply because it was spanned from heart to heart

Here are the people I said farewell to lately:

Pei Hsien

I knew Pei Hsien from my high school years...she was a prefect and a senior who was holding a couple of leadership positions and at the same time doing academically well. One of those I admire from far...

In the university, she was elected as the President for one of the largest societies in the university -the Engineering Society. She had demonstrated what I called the 'Georgian' (derived from my high school name) leadership qualities - strong-willed and steadfast. Our friendship began to blossom when we became neighbours during our university years...What bonded us was our faith. She has been such a source of encouragement and of sage advice. I wouldn't forget our nasi lemak days. All the best in UK, girl. Your will to suceed has carried you very far... Georgians rock!!

Chris:

Left: Chris, Patt, Nitin and John

My first case leader and the first Singaporean I ever worked with. An intelligent colleague who has taught me many things. He has made my first case a very memorable learning experience.


Sarah:


A year of friendship with her has been so fulfilling...through the past one year...we knew so much of each other as though we have been friends for years...She has taught me of what it means to be a Christian, to love selflessly and to give my best to God. She was certainly placed in my life when I needed someone like her most...she brought me back me to God.

I will miss her....but i wish her well and I know she will continue to touch many lives wherever she goes...and I know for sure God is with her...



Please don't forget that you promised to sing on my wedding day "When God made you". So, do come home... (I shall take over your place as Sam's big bully. The when you return, he gets double portion of that? hahahah...)





Zi Bin:

Zi Bin is an exceptional individual with a zeal to always improve himself even though he's already doing excellently. His numerous achivements speak for themselves. Charming, sweet at times but also a person who will not hesitate to point my mistakes. One who dares to slap me back to reality, keep my feet grounded. He supported me to the fullest when I embarked on new territories and his advice I often take heed. His intelligence is something I admire and his friendship is something close to heart. Hmm...we have come a long way eh? Thanks for putting up with me during my off-days. The fights, the arguments, the cold wars...I think you have dealt with them very patiently. I am going to miss you a lot.
