Ended...

I am back!!! finally, 168 days in shanghai had flew passed like the maglev bullet train tat we took today n mixed feelings were developed.. somehow i felt lost, uncertain n a little tinge of sadness.

When we reached changi airport juz now, it was the same place where we departed for shanghai on july 09. how coincident n it felt like yest when we departed for shanghai.. everything tat happened in shanghai feels like a dream suddenly. we really had a lot of fun over there... went to tour so many places, suzhou, hangzhou, inner mongolia, beijing, dong bei, qian dao hu etc.; our last overnight ktv; sports day playing badminton, tennis, soccer; the mala store, qiao lao ye n jap rest behind our house tat we always patronised; the 7pu, shanghai ke ji guan, nanjing dong lu shopping spree; the many junks, lays, pocky, beer etc. tat we ate; the meals we cooked together; the ever successful MAF celebration @ carmen's; the dong fang lu zhou & suzhou le yuan amusement park we went together; our classes @ fudan, the very bagus xlb n fried rice ard our sch, the shopping street, the green grass patch tat we like to lie on... though its quite boring but we had fun there among ourselves; the last few nights i spent terrorizing pot n kettle n their bed; our bon bon night n the times i got so drunk! n of cos the many scandals n gossips among the gip students tat kept all of us so "bonded" & concerned (haha)...

This bunch of pudong ppl sticked with 1 another almost everyday. having dinner, hang ard during work, after work, during weekends n tour to other places. i can say we were really quite close in all aspect... given more time, maybe our frenship will get stronger ba.. but i feel everything juz came to an abrupt end when we wan to spend more time together... it is a pity somehow..

We spent the last night in shanghai singing ktv till morn 6am n most of us were knocked out by 430. hahaha... n how zombified we look the nex day when we rushed to clear our house, do the handing over, last min packing, handing over n finally checking in for our flight. it happened so fast n we were so occupied tat i dun even hav time to feel any thing.

I juz got this emo thing going on in me tat i cant use words to describe. we all promised to keep in contact n i noe i will certainly keep in contact with some of them but our bond will nt b as strong as b4. those things tat we did in shanghai, our dependence on each other, the experience n fun of living in so close proximity with others will nv b repeated anymore. slowly, we will inevitably drift apart.

even if we still manage to keep in contact, it will b quite impossible to repeat the things we did in Wan Bang Du Shi Hua Yuan & Shanghai .. Even if 1 day we can return to shanghai, everything will b different, cos its the time we spent together in a foreign land tat is the most memorable. i can say it is the life with this bunch of ppl tat i missed the most... n ya, it is something that i cannot go back to again, it really has ended!

But finding some new frenz whom i can consider keeping in close contact is something tat i've nv tot will happen b4 i embark on this 6mths stint. The experience, the memories n the frenz i've gathered from GIP r certainly big gains for the year 2007.

But as wat carmen told me, all good things come to an end... now i dun hav it aldy so i will certainly treasure it even more.

Though many will nt b able to see this, but thanks so much for making my 168 days grad trip an unforgettable 1, giving me some thing tat i've nv experienced b4. u ppl were so young n full of energy, even the lao da jie also felt much younger while i was there. i hav learnt a lot during this trip, getting some responsibilities in taking care of ppl n b independent enuff to do my own things n make decisions. it is still unbelieveble tat it has really ended or did it even start?? hmmm..

I will upload more photos soon.. now i am too shagged to upload them or do any unpacking. with this, my 168days trip in shanghai has officially come to a conclusion, its really a choice tat i'll nv regret...
