today is the 10th june. the day i depart from singapore back to my family in perth... though as sad as it may seem, rejoice for this will be the beginning of better things to come..

6.00am:
i woke up, onli slept for 3 hours due to germany and costa rica world cup opening match. i'm amazed at germany's standard... got my bags together, brush teeth, wore clothes i wore to malaysia (no choice... all clothes packed liao..), and sat in the back of the van, awaiting to arrive.
6.50am:
got a call from Aiwei... "hello.. are u here yet? how far?" "i'm reaching soon.. another 5 mins..." haha.. poor aiwei.. always the earliest for events...
7.00am:
arrived at the airport with my bags unloaded and going to check in.. saw the crowd.. my lord.. it's super crowded.. but thank God a new queue opened and we were the first to that line... though the pregnant lady behind the counter was abit moody.. saying that she can't allow this, can't allow that. but u know.. doesnt matter... edmund came along, then victor.. then weiming..
7.30am:
my mom's passport got some probs to settle.. so they sent in a letter to sort it out... i went back out to look for everyone who's here already.. touched by the fact u guys came...
8.00am:
finally got the tickets, went down to burger king to get breakfast... rush rush... ate some cool meal... then rushed back upstairs to the departure get before 8.30am... the girls didn't even had time to finish their beloved sandwiches... haiz...
8.30am:
finally went in.. couldn't do shpping as no time left... but turned back to face my frens alot of times.. thank God i knew them.. thank God i didn't cry... :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
as i walked towards the scanner, worried about my dvds and backups... i didn't think about anithing else except that... till i sat in my seat, even after the plane took off, didn't even think about anithing... i wondered.. how heartless...but i was realy really tired.. so i slept for awhile, thinking whether to have lunch or not...zZz

i woke up.. smelling the sweet aroma of the meals that were prepared and given out.. still i continued slping... till suddenly i really became alert... took pasta (the onli dish left.. haha) and watched my mom watch Chronicles of Narnia... then it struck to me... everytime i saw azlan (the 'lion'-el) i began to tear abit... thinking about the Lord Jesus, him being slained that i may be free, tat i rmbered the times when everyone talking abot narnia... how it's related to the bible and stuff.. thank you Lord for dying on the cross, that yr love shines thru all of us, giving agape love to anione and everyone...

so everytime i see azlan, i tear... till i myself wanted to watch the show.. then came *ding-dong* "dear passengers... we're approaching arrival in anoher 50mins time..." i tot.. how to watch finish the show i jst started... in 50mins...
time passed, soon the movie stopped, haven't even reach the middle yet... but we were touching down already....

when we touched down and parked... mom said to me"welcome home son..." i gave her a side hug and all of a sudden, both my eyes were teared up.. ready to burst.. "i can't believe it's been 2 and a half years, i can't believe i'm actually here.. i can't believe i left amazing friends behind..." i wiped them away with my sweater, and sat still, basking in the amazing presence of my Dad above and the feelings i held now...

Thank u Lord for the time in singapore, the things u're taught me, the love u've shown me, the friends you've placed in my life... as i look back, the crazy loud speeding vans, the many random "whoo-hoo!" let outs, the many friends(or girls) that has named me a colourwolf, the many guitar moments we've shared, the many NS out-fields we've done, and the many many times we've laughed... seriously, a smile from someone u care about, is a super-super-high that onli God can give...

Claymore'05, engineer week'05, BPC, CAMPUS, Crazee Olympics, Caregroup, Jamming sessions, durian outings, malaysia, shopping with royalty, mahjong, etc... all these are still in my heart and mind, and will forever be. this will not be the last time we'll be seeing each other, but like a fren of my said, "it's just the beginning.." let it be... truly has been an awesome time...

yours truely,
