just saw jig off at the airport 1.5 hours ago. its always a sad send-off. he's back for such a short time and gone for so long. 4 weeks flew by so quickly. still remembered the sun 3-4 wks before he came back when he called me. couldnt talk long so i called him back later but couldnt get thru. then the wkday bout 3 wks before he's back when i called him in america. was at taka at that nite, talking for about 20min or so on the phone. talked about what i studied in nie, psychology courses that are similar to what he studied in the states. and then 3 wks later, he is back. met him for the 1st time on the sat of 16 may at raffles city basement, after his trip to marina barriage for the singapore arts festival opening ceremony. the 2nd time was 1wk later on tue when we went to the illuma together to check out the place and then tat same thur at vivo where we watched the premier of the night at the museum 2. the following wk, met up for dinner at pizza hut after which he watched terminator n dear n i watched angel n demon. then it was this mon when he attended my rom, and now, he's on his way back to the states again. will be another yr before i get to see him again. 13 years of friendship. saw a quote on the bus just now: A friend is the best present you can give yourself. i had a very good present which i had for 13 years. n its so sad to see him leave before getting to see him again. take care jig. hopefully i will have a chance to go over in dec to drop a visit. keep in contact my friend.
