at the airport

i went to the airport with my cousin, who was leaving on an earlier flight as when compared to maddie and kuan sian, so i was with him for a while, before he decided to go in coz he had to claim the GSTs incurred inside.

as usual, everyone was at swensens, but in a proportion like never before. we seemed to occupy at least a quarter, if not, near half of swensens had everyone taken a seat there.

i was actually amazed by how many people turned up for maddie, but if you think about it, she's one of the very few who actually maintains contact with almost everyone she knows, i mean how many of us still keep in touch with their primary school mates or worse, secondary school friends? i keep in touch with like less than 10 people from my secondary school on an occasional basis, and none from primary school, mainly coz it was too long ago for email or others to kick in.

there was around 60 plus people? plus the council guys for kuan sian, we hogged the section of the airport so bad, people had to walk in between us to get through.

and i think it was a big mistake to cheer for kuan sian in the middle of the airport, another one of our jokingly suggested ideas being actually carried out but the airport was clearly not the place for that kind of thing.

looking at how maddie was getting so emotional made me think about how i will have to deal with my coming year. unlike maddie, i probably wont be coming back here four months later. i might not even make it back next year, as suggested by my earlier entry. plus, the next year will be a whole lotta evaluation like never before, since i will have to contemplate transferring to urbana-champaign, as well as securing some sort of aid, if possible, a scholarship, which will have to be touched on as early on as from january.

i cannot see how the next year will turn out for me, this time, i really cant. so its worrying in a sense, but im gonna do my best to make it turn out right for me.

but as kuan sian and maddie explores their own horizon, i wish them all the best, and i might not see them again for a long time, but i hope to see them again in the near future.
