That Time Of Year Again

This feeling is indescribable. Yes, its that time of year again... For the 7th time, the end of my summer is approaching and its time to go back to UK. I wonder, how can one person be torned between 2 such extreme feelings at the same time, it really amazes me. I'm going to miss alot of people. Where should I start?

The "ji muiz" Wendy, Junie and Mei Tien. Although it was a short meeting, but I know it was memorable. For Junie, I wish you all the best, hope to see you more when you come over to Leeds next year and may God bless you 2 madly in love human beings. =P For Mei Tien, I hope I've taught you a few tricks which will come in handy in future (of course our lessons don't end here), and thanks for always being there to comfort me when I'm in need. Sifu will teach you a few new tricks next summer!

Hui Lynn, you deserve a special thanks. Without you, the school would have been a boring place. I really enjoyed playing the piano and teasing the kids with you. I'm sure you've brought much life into their hearts as you have brought to mine. Besides, spending time with you has allowed me to witness and reflect on myself, and I have learnt a few lesson in life which "slapped my face" and allow me to wake up and smell the coffee. I've felt things I've never felt for a long long time: such as never feeling so embarresed (face never so red and hot) in my life before, thanks to your constant teasing. I enjoyed it anyhow. =P Just make sure you don't fall ill again: grapes from UK turn sour even after 4 days by pos laju. =P Till' next summer!

My beloved kids. It has been a pleasure teaching 5S class. I can tell you all have much appreciated me teaching. Though none of you should be reading this, I'm glad I brought laughter into your lives. Study hard and good luck in future.

Shaun, thank God you decide to change your hairstyle, keep it that way. =P No holiday of mine is complete without stopping for a few visits to your house and kidnapping you in the night for a few late night drink/chat. I'm glad after so many years, even though situations change, our friendship remains the same. Keep up the good work in your studies, and hope you're able to achieve your dreams of working abroad to be successful. Oh, take it easy on the girls would you? =P I'll be back next summer to check on you.

Though we only met once, I felt that you're really matured and its very very easy to talk to you. I could enjoy pouring out my life stories over a cup of coffee and will know that you are sitting there listening intently. Due to your carefree and open attitude, you could give me advice and point of views which I couldn't see myself. I'm glad we met, though on such short notice. Wait for my phone call next summer, and we can go bowling again... I've never been beaten by a girl except you. Oh, hope you fix your modem so you can go online and chat and hopefully see this message. Thanks Jo Yan!

I din't have much close secondary school friends, but Bazil - I'm glad that through the ups and downs, we're still best of buddies. No one else cracks me up with "chink and nigga" jokes like you do. I really did appreciate meeting up this holiday and had a great time with you. By the way, you lied about not knowing how to ice skate. =P At least you kept your fitness up and scored in rugby last Saturday... Of course, you we're no where close to my level of expertise and fitness... But you did ok. =P If I don't see you in Nottingham Games this year, I'll see you for rugby again next summer!

I know I've missed out many people, but I will thank them in person, errr... I mean though MSN later. Others, I'd probably see you back in gloomy Manchester. =P Now, after those sentimental emotional stuff, time for the other extreme half. Can't wait to pack my bags and leave this place! =P Ee Min, my loving sister is missing me from the other half of the world. My restaurant collegues are waiting for me to start the tempura cooker again. =P Most importantly, I just want to go back being a normal student and get the grades that I'd give anything to get.

Right, next on the list is... Oh yah, pack my bags.
