this week is nearly over, and so marks the end of my 9-day cny holiday. a 9 days break is quite ridiculous really. but it's a lucky break thanks to 1 lecturer who decided to go back to hk for the new year and to friends who took notes in the other class!

sara came over on for 4 days, on monday afternoon, hannah and i have been waiting and waiting and planning and planning for these 4 days! it was all good, cos sara enjoyed herself, and that's what's most important :) pictures later.

right after these 4 exciting days of walking shopping picturetaking and eating (according to wilson, we ate more in 3 days than what he ate over the entire winter break in spore), i met up with another old friend. it was impromptu and totally last min, but good ol jem came out anyway.

it's amazing to even just think about how we've come so far (since the busstop outside our houses in february 2004) to feb 2008. i hadn't even started uni then, and now i'm in my last sem and jem's already graduated. we started off feeling more than friends, then it got stagnant for a while, we met up every year when he came back for summer break and now 4 years has gone past us. but till now he's always still a very special somebody. it's complicated. slightly. mildly. i don't know why. i think i think too much sometimes. or maybe i don't think enough.

although he's a friend that i only meet up with a couple of times each yr for the past 4 years, there's always this indescribable feeling of nostalgia and warmth that he emits. he's most certainly without a doubt one of the most honest friends i know and maybe it's that honesty that makes him one of a kind :)

jem's changed abit through these years while he was in melbourne. at the same time, alot about him hasn't changed, in a sense he's still good ol' jem :) sensing how he's grown over time makes me wonder if i have too? have i matured over this same time period? have i improved in some aspects? have i become a better person?

this is weird. there's so much i wanted to say bout jem. but now i can't find the words to any of it at all. i'll keep those for next time :)
