Emo? Now?

Its only been 2 days since the results of the JPA scholarship was announced but goodness, the reaction seems to be overexaggerated in the emo sense.

But then, thanks for everything you guys have done for me, and well, the emotional reactions I've been getting from you guys, its really touching...*sniff*

For one thing, Erik and Hee Ian have actually posted farewell entries in their blogs, telling me not to forget them and all...gosh...its as if I'm flying off to Australia tomorrow. (Erik's even going on about belanja-ing me for a farewell karaoke session...etc...)

But then, while chatting with Kok Hong on msn, it suddenly became apparent how things have changed since secondary school. Kok Hong remarked "We used to say we'll study together and everything...", and somehow, our conversation dredged up memories of Form 2, sitting around in the library and promising that we (Erik, Kok Hong, and I) would later on further our studies in the same university (the guys had been making plans on copying my homework), take the same course, and probably work together as colleagues in the future. Ok, so we all wanted to be IMU graduate doctors then. But suddenly, it occured to me how naive we were back then. Kids with dreams and fantasies, but no idea what the harsh reality was.

Erik, Kok Hong, and I... from swordfights and pokemon in Form 1 to huge projects, study groups and countless SS photos (like this one) in Form 5.....

It seems so fast. In just a few years since our three-way pact to study together, Kok Hong went on to SAM while Erik and I did A-Levels. In this short time, I had choosen an entirely different path to study Vet Science, Kok Hong wavered off towards considering pharmacy, Erik rethinking his doctor ambition...

And well, its rare to see Kok Hong emotional, and not joking around, as he was on msn earlier. So was Kimberly, who usually had a joke or remark for everything, and Erik, who always swore he'll be glad to be rid of me. But now, to see these guys becoming so emotional when they got the news...

Not to mention all my other friends who found out...Sharon, Lixian, Hui Yen, Ling Hui, Basil, Hee Ian...all had emotional responses that got me reminiscing of all the good times before, and how much I myself would miss all of them. Jeez...I'm getting emo...(snap out of it, Shu...)

Really made me wonder, I still have more than 1.5 years here in Malaysia and all this emo-ing has started; what will things be like when its finally time to go?
