105. last event... Leaver's dinner

this whole month,
i have attended many events..

1. 10 May- Cream and Tea Party 
(organised by the Chaplaincy as a farewell)

2. 12 May- May Ball
(organised by Marjon Student Union...
summer is here and it's time to party!!)

3. 16 May- Farewell Party
(organised by Marjon 2)

4. 22 May- Tea Party
(organised by us to thank our elective lecturers)

5. 25 May- Leaver's Dinner
(organised by Marjon as a farewell for all third year students. 
this also marks the very end of my course here in Marjon...)

all these events add on
to make my memories in Marjon much more meaningful..
it shows that i have been a part of this place..this community..

even though these events are mostly as a farewell party,
it was really grand and i feel blessed to be there..
it feels so good to be acknowledged,
and to be treated as VIPs ;)

going to these events 
with my darlings made it even more memorable..
to be able to share the memories in years to come..

on a side note,
the sun is out and shining for a week now..
it makes the whole Plymouth looks so much more beautiful ..
i hope the weather will be good
 and stay sunny and dry till i leave...

104. bidding goodbye..

yesterday 25 May 2012
was the official date that i have completed my 
third year in the UK..

final assignment was handed in..
library books returned for good..
last personal tutorial
with my lecturer..

i had my first session of bidding goodbye with her..
wasn't easy at all..
went in her room being strong and happy..
came out with red eyes and sobs..

saying goodbye is really the hardest thing..
especially when you don't know 
when you will ever meet again..

talking about it makes things even worse..
it made me realised how much 
i'm going to miss them..

but she said she was happy 
to know that i'm sad about leaving..
cause it just shows that i have enjoyed every moment i have here..
it would be rather worrying
if i don't have a hint of sadness..

the first session of goodbye was difficult..
but will it be any easier 
when it comes to saying goodbye to the last person?
i doubt it..

103. events

in less than a week,
i have attended two very important events..
both are memory filled and 
i'm so thankful that i have people to share them with..

the first was May Ball (12 May 2012)..
a rather significant event
which is worth remembering..
sweet moments and memories that 
will remind me of MARJON a lot

lovely friends came to help doll us up..
we have a team of three make-up artists and one photographer
it seems like
they were even more excited than us ;p

we felt like teenagers getting ready for their prom..
or so i assume this is how it will feel like..
excited and overjoyed..

and i'm so thankful that
my friends were there with me to
create such unforgettable moments..


the only Malaysians in the event..



the second event was yesterday (16 May 2012)..
it was our farewell party organised by the juniors..
it was a gorgeous event..
they decorated the whole place and prepared 
finger-licking-good food
and personalised gifts..
God bless these lovely souls..

this farewell party 
marks the coming of the end of my 3-year course
here in MARJON..
bitter sweet memories are everywhere in this place..
never thought that my three years would come this soon..
much sooner than expected..
what have i achieve throughout this whole time?

i might not have the chance
to see some people anymore after we part ways..
people who i have been classmates with
for three years
friendships are bond throughout these whole time
but it will soon be separated by the South China Sea..

final goodbyes is still at least 3 weeks away..
am i prepared for that?
i'm not even sure..
the thought of it is enough to put a smile on my face
and a tear to my eye..

102. just for you..


i caught sight of you and 
the joy of seeing you
is beyond any description..
a very warm surprise on a cold day..

i lose control..
of my own body..
of how the ends of my lips 
made its own decision to curve upwards..

it was way too obvious..
but still...
it was just too difficult for me 
to put on a straight face..

one more month..
and i would not be able 
to find you among the crowd anymore..
that's all the time i have here..
