Dear All,
I’m writing this in a backpacker’s hostel in Darwin. Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who came to see me off or called me to wish me farewell. It was overwhelming. I didn’t know if I was more happy or sad to see all of you!
I regret that it was all very rushed towards the end, and there wasn’t enough time for photos. I’ll always remember the “grand exit” though, and the way some of you plastered your faces to the glass afterwards. :b
The sadness didn’t hit me until the plane began its descent into Darwin. All the memories of the past year swelled up as I bit into the kaya toast a sister thoughtfully bought. (Hmm..sounds familiar?) That little piece of Singapore in a foreign land brought back the times I spent with the NUS brothers and sisters: the laboriously planned birthdays, hilarious skits of Gen Acts Idol, all nighters are the engine study room during exam season, Dota at HQ, raucous CNY celebrations at PGP, fun experimentations in the kitchen and moments shared with individual brothers and sisters. The tears finally came (Yes, to those of you who were disappointed at the airport), and to my embarrassment, several more times when I was wandering alone in the city.
It was during those times when God reminded me of one truth: He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, and He is always with you. Even though people will inevitably enter and exit our lives, He stays the same, and will never leave you.
Lastly, I want to thank you for one year of precious memories. I’ll always treasure them. I’m going to miss every one of you!
In His love,
Claire 21/2/06
P.S- Would love to see the dream of starting a café become a reality some day!
