Jeremy off to Eire

KACC Legends @ Airport (+ manager Wenger)

Last night Jeremy left for Ireland to begin his medicine studies. I think he's just about to reach there while I am blogging here. I went down to the airport from school after completing the CT essay. The bus ride was slightly longer due to the road closures around Suntec and the security around there is really crazy. Every few metres there would be someone in uniform patrolling. Guess the threat of terror is pretty serious.

I was the second to reach after Kok Wai and the NUS people arrived in Ho Teck's car at around 8. In the end beside me, Kok Wai and Chiang the other 5 who were there were all studying in NUS now. No one from NTU came and neither did Ken. It seems that NUS is certainly the best place to study in.

We had our dinner at the Malays restaurant at the basement and continued what we were crapping on Sunday night. Jeremy was checking in his luggages when we went up and find him. Beside us some of his JC classmates came to send him off as well. Although Jeremy was supposedly the centre of attention, Qinyao aka 大哥 aka AJ stole all the limelight.

I picked up many new words last night too. Maoture, charismaotic, maomeries, maosquito, supermaoket, maotabak, maoney, maoster card.... the list went on and on. My cheeks went numb from all the laughing. The people standing around us must be thinking that we are mad.

Well it's quite weird that I was only an acquintance with Jeremy back in secondary school. I only got to know him better during the JC days because he started to join us for our Saturday football sessions. He would always jio us go eat buffets together too. Without him, football and makan sessions will never be the same again.

We all know that he is going off to pursue his dreams but there is always a tinge of sadness during farewell. It must be hard for him to leave everything familiar behind and start everything anew in a foreign place. On our way home, I was talking to Shahid about who will we miss if they go overseas. Our conclusion was that anyone not around would be missed. Qinyao especially... haha...
