Farewell

Ankithar is going to US for his further studies. We have a farewell party by organizing a dinner at Fish and co.

Who's Ankithar?

1 and a half year ago...

I got a vague impression of him during ASLC. We were in the same company but different platoon. At that point of time I was not very close to him. But... Still I'm willing to make friends with him.

So, happen that we were posted to the same company after our ASLC. Before that, he said that he will definitely posted to BMTC just mainly because he is a foreigner. In the end, he posted to unit camp. Ha~

During the first few weeks of the induction programme, he gave me the impression whereby he was a coward that scared of our RSM. I bet he still remember during the lecture conducted by RSM he hid at the innoticeable corner. And was caught by me!

Then as times goes by, we happen to be the same platoon, which was the HQ platoon. That's when we became closer and closer. Every nights out, we went to the nearest lanshop to play our favourite game. Defend of The Ancients aka DoTA! As a team, we managed to pawn thousands of asses and created a legend team at Crossfire. After that, we went for supper just before we book in. Ankithar likes the minced pork noodles and Milo Ice of Simpang Bedok!

"Uncle 1 bowl of ba cho mee, dun want chilly, thank you."

HQ 5 Shuai~ HQ 4 Shao~ HQ 3 Xia~ So on and so on.

2007
May, June, July, August, September (1 year soldier!) October, November, December

2008

See, we spend together for the whole 17 months!

All became memories...

-The Last Dinner-

Ankithar and Mdm Wong. The loving couple.


Sulky faces!!


We waited an hour to get seated. The waitress still suggest us to separate seats because if we join table we may block the entrance. Ankithar, "Then what for we meet for dinner? Might as well sit at home and web cam..." LOL~


Mdm Wong doesn't like solo shoot. But who gives a damn?


Hanjotatoe!!! It has been quite a while since I saw him!


We talked about our current lifestyle...


Then we order nothing but seafood...


Nigelinho gets agitated because everyone assured that my nose is sharper!


And we really had a good time! Ola~

Although there were only the 8 of us, but at least we made an effort to come. To see Ankithar the last time. He said he will be back during Christmas. Then we will meet again. Imagine... Those who did not come today will they still want to come for the gathering this coming Christmas? I doubt so... I think that's when we realize that we only know each other for that 1 and a half year. After that, no more. Seriously, I think that will be quite sad. Effort counts. Effort is you demand yourself, not forcing yourself.

I really hope Ankithar will be doing well in his studies. Then during Christmas I want to hear from him all the stories he will be collecting in the States.

Wish him all the best!

4.03am - Hello Ankit. Good bye Ankit. So long...
