fond (and tearful) farewell.
sunday afternoon it's been a tremendously roller-coaster of a week. the farewell dinners, my end of tour (eot) bbq and my very last night in luxy. yes. even the club. words cannot express exactly what i feel now because it's all over the shop.
on one hand i'm glad i'm going home. back to where home truly is. on the other, i'm rather upset about leaving behind all my friends here. friends who have been such a joy in my life.. so while they won't be reading this anytime soon.. i'm still going to write the following...

vivian 姐。 。這一年真的過了很快。有這個機會能夠認識你，我是無法表達我多麼幸運和快樂。不管是在台北或墨爾本,像你所說的，我們還是會有機會再見 面。那晚你給我的那封信，我發誓不會把它丟的。還有！國際電話費比不上一個好朋友的友情所以我想我們應該會保持聯絡。再次要感謝你一之那麼照顧我。也要提早祝你生日快樂！保重了大姐！
唐唐！這兩三個月可以說是我最開興的時侯。如果沒有你和vivian，我想我不會玩到那麼愉快 的。該說了已經說了。你問過我是不是喜歡了你。事實是我有。但是，向我成近跟vivian講過，喜歡了也是沒用，你我都知道是不會有結果的。所以，能夠當你的一個好朋友，對我來說已近主夠了。要好好照顧你自己。 。那是一件很簡單的答應了哦。 。 msn上見！也祝你生日快樂！
molly啊。 。你每次都跑掉。照相了也沒傳給我。 。哪有公平呢？哈哈。 。好啦。雖讓我們真的聊了很少，也要感謝你給我這個機會當朋友。有時候，做朋友不代表話要說多對嗎？幸好還有msn啊。 。哈。 。 。你要照顧你自己哦！
八 甲！你一直罵我三八，每死過啊？哈哈。 。你也差不多要當兵了。海軍陸戰隊！當兵時要承認一點啊。。哈哈。。小心點。前幾天幫我了一個大忙，再次謝謝你。我走之後有你來幫我給大鼓勵好嗎？好啦。該講的那天已經說了。有你的這個朋友，馬的。超高笑啦。哈哈。 。保重啊兄弟！
michelle。 。 。吧台表演真的是不容易。繼續努力吧！總點是不要放棄，要對自己有幸信和耐心好嗎？好感謝這幾個星期幫我那麼多。也要感謝你要把我灌醉哦。哈哈哈。 。好啦。有機會的話，我一定會回來台北找你。那可是我們的約定了哦。
josh兄弟。要把我灌醉是不容易的。 。謝了你這幾個星期跟michelle一直幫我倒酒和陪著我發瘋。哈哈。。希望有機會看到你在吧台表演。現在你的任務是要幫我照顧michelle，selina和我那些公館的朋友。如果聽到你要把他們灌醉。 。 。你完蛋了。
so yes. enough of the chinese. it's ironic how human nature is isn't it? i've bitched and moaned about my stay here for a good one year plus. lost my temper when i found out that i was staying until today instead of going back in march. when the end's here, i don't bloody want to go back. the sentimental attachment and feelings, they all play a huge factor.
my eot barbecue was an emotional one. it's always good to know you left a very good impression of yourself and really, i've never felt so well taken care off away from home. the officers and their wives, the specialists and my fellow nsfs, beyond work and all that mattered, it's heart-warming to know that we're all friends in the end. of course, the respect for them is always there not merely because of their rank but also because of the way we as a whole, carried ourselves through one obstacle and the next.
and for the only person i know who reads my blog occasionally here in taiwan, mr sim kai sheng. you are one friend that is hard to come by. not because we're "family" due to our surnames or because of our many common interests and understandings but because of your personality. like i said though, don't let others push you around that easily (you know who i'm talking about eh? hahaha). and do look after timothy for me. that joker. really a joker la. haha..
so yes. i'll be home tomorrow morning at 0030hrs. all my packing's done. most of my tearing's done as well. i sure as hell will miss this place. i sure as hell will miss the people. i sure as hell will miss the experience. it's been one tremendously fulfilling time, one where i've learnt a lot about life; the meaning of life, how to live it to the fullest, and of course the lessons i've learnt about myself. a year away from home, alone, teaches you a lot about everything.
i've made a promise to myself that i'll be back here in december. not just for the fireworks over new year but for the many friends that i'll be leaving behind. the many fun times that we all hope to rekindle after a 7 months absence.. i'll miss this place more than i thought i would.
