Goodbye My Friend




I thought of Spice Girl...

11th September, a crucial day for the americans. A bad tragedy. A shocking event. No one expected it other than the only Osama Bin Laden.
Same goes for me. I didn't expect the day to turn out how it should. Jacqueline leaving, my assignments undone, didn't study for Mid term. Everything is crashing down! Thank god we did a last hour study when we're on the way to college in Jo's Car. It happened that I can answer most of the questions and by luck, we're granted with extensions for the video. All is left is Moral mid term.

I decided to go for the 12.30 moral class instead of the usual 3.30 class. As I went in, I explained to the lecturer. He was shocked and told me that my paper is different from the current class. I told him that it's alright (I had already gone through the questions with a friend from 12.30). He smirked and said, alright.
The questions are hard to tackle and I have not studied so...... I managed to crap 900 words for the first environmental question and the others are just so-so.

There it is....The time has come, I have to rush to the airport.

I'm sorry guys. The question has bugged me sometime, 'Friends or Assignment'.

I answered 'Both' during that time. After some thinking, yes I know I was wrong, I shouldn't acted that way. But I didn't want to miss seeing my 6 years best friend for the last moment! The last time I saw is when we went out for breakfast which is last 2 weeks. I wanted to see her at least the last few days but assignment came which is to overnight at Jo's place.
Another question 'It's not that she won't come back?'

We may not know this question. She might or she might not. I thought she will. Audrey told me the possibilities, I come to think of it, Yes big chances she might not. Will you Jacq?

Receiving the news that the parents are migrating to US/UK and by judging what is attaching her to come back where by the parents are moving? Not just that, let's take a look at the airplane ticket price from Malaysia and UK?
I also imagined that one day, I'll be in Australia or the States, she'll be in Newcastle! It won't be how it used to be. Walking distance to her house. Seeing each other is easy. Going through each of your grow old stage, it's time to realise she won't be there frankly speaking.

Yes, other friends, I can sacrifice for my assignments but Jacqueline Wong? It's hard...

I think all of us actually flooded the whole Kisho Kurokawa's Malay style pitched roofs and palm trees replica, KLIA. Forest Airport. Going there not just to say goodbye but having the whole memory lane flashes through, you realised that she is a friend that you really treasure. A silent friend, just like my comic.


The back shadow that I will not forget. 
The same when she walked towards her flight gate...
We were watching her all the time
With the last wave of Goodbye

Alright, I'm getting teary already...Signing off...
