To my dear kaki:
I am really sorry that we didn't get to spend much time together before you left for Malaysia and then (sigh) Canada. Looking back, it has been a hell of a ride, ain't it? First, there was the bonding by eating, sleeping and entertaining together for 32 straight hours on the way to Houston. Then there was all the adventure of settling down into a strange new country. Thanks for helping me with my homesickness then. For all the sumptious meals.. the partying..the constant gossiping.. and then karma came hitting back. We became subjects of gossip, honestly the worse part of the trip, havin all the shit thrown back to us. Well, we weathered thru that storm together (I'm still a bit affected by that episode but can you imagine if we had not stood together? i wud be .... well in a puddle now.) and came out as stronger people and members of the AI club! hahahaha! And, i don't think i can ever forget how you helped me thru my homesickness during the tour. It may not have been much to you, but for you to have foregone that trip to LA downtown coz i was too miserable to go out.. For you to let me sit there and pour out my woes and frustration.. If not for you, i don't think i would have been able to enjoy the whole trip with a broken heart. You were the one who helped me glue myself together in the face of malicious gossip and judgement, disappointment and a heart-wrenching break up. Maybe you didn't know it at that time. But, because of you, i have managed to pull myself together and go on with life.

Anyhows... What i'm trying to say is that, i'm really glad that we were together at the end.. When you entered the room, we would excitedly chatter and give jinyu a headache. I never did like to take photos but we have like 3000 pictures to show people! Sure, the tour wasn't exactly optimistic, but we made it fun in our own ways. Remember our promise to go back to San Francisco k? and to New York! We were so poor in NYC but yet we could continuing having so much fun then! We were really POOR together sia! Eating just one potato everyday,, i still can remember scrapin off every bit of the potato off the skin and sometimes eating the skin itself! I truly believe that we are one of the few tourists who actually walked all over NYC! Not once on the MET or subway!

My only consolation is that our 3 months in houston just whizzed by. I'm hoping that this next 3 months cud go by just as quickly.

Thanks for weathering the storm with me. For entertaining me. For being poor together. For being my kaki. Thanks for everything. I love you like hell.

PS. dun believe all that BS your ass of a senior said. Her opinions ain't worth dipshit. If i could, i wud slap her for you.


I love you kaki! COME BACK! Don't go Canada!

PSPS you still owe us a treat!
