so long, farewell
Reality
just hit.
The boys
are leaving this Saturday; we’re leaving to go out of Bangalore on Friday
night. I’ll miss them so much. Oh my goodness I’ll miss them so very much.
Ironic but a part of India will leave India this Saturday. Returning to an
empty house, to a place without them, will feel different.
What will I
miss about them? Strange, but I’ll miss their wisecracks, our bridge games, our
meals together (even if they’re taken in silence), the teasing, the laughter,
the care and concern we have for each other, the trips we take out together,
the stories they tell. I’ll definitely miss the toilet fights, the door banging
moments, the shouts and pee dances.
The problem
with these kind of trips is that I always have the impression that the
friendships are very functional, a result of the circumstances you’re put in
and somehow Singaporeans abroad tend to form very strong bonds. Things will definitely
change when we’re back in Singapore, though I hope we meet up regularly, and
study together, go for lunch together, just sit around talking and enjoying
each other’s company. We were just discussing how in ten years’ time we could all
gather at someone’s house for CNY and meet up with all our kids in tow,
laughing at what we shared in India, and how our lives have all changed since
then. I know that will require effort and I’ll put in the effort to see that
through, because this group of people has made such a great impact on my life.
Never knew
it would feel this painful.
