The gift - Jim Brickman
It's beginning to feel like Christmas! LOL!!!!
It's our last nite nite here - and some habits die hard. I may have finished me dissertation well ahead of time but i've left packing right up to the last possible minute!!! Looks like there's not gonna be any sleep tonite!
But me not the only one! Everyone else is packing now.
Anyways, back to the Christmas-sy feeling. I guess it must be a Chinese culture thingy cuz the flat mates from China have been giving everyone farewell gifts! In fact, just as i was doing this post, Di came over and passed me something!
So i've been busy - not buying stuffs, but me decided to do rely on me creative side. Hehehe. Me have been folding little green origami piggies!!!! Yeah, just like back home in M'sia when i'd be busy making bookmarks on X'mas eve!
Some of the gifts are really nice - like the one on the right. Me mate actually got someone to buy it from Shanghai especially for me!!!! 8 little doggies - go here to see close-ups of them!
So this is it! Our life here is drawing to a close. This morning, after sending off Linda, i noticed that some leaves have oredi changed colour! Autumn is coming fast! Liverpool lost to Chelsea today - and i remembered that on the day when i first got here last year, Chelsea thrashed Liverpool 4-1!
The circle is complete. The end is here. A new beginning beckons. It has been really hard and painful to say goodbye. But in a weird way, i should be thankful that it's like that instead of a feeling of joy and relief. It's only painful because i've had had some amazing experiences! After all, saying goodbye to someone who is not special never hurts.
Thank you, Lord!
