And once again, Diaryland is being a pain so here I am.

As mushy as it sounded, today has been a celebration of everything we stand for, and then some. I love my favourite boys (i.e. Jonathan and Renny) and girl (Jolene).

Us, the AJClubbers (please do not ask me what the "AJ" in "AJClub stands for because it is a hyper-sensitive issue for a certain someone who might come across this) met up for the surprise celebration of my birthday, Jonathan's farewell dinner and, as Renny would put it, "the celebration of our friendship".

Three-hour dinner at Seoul Garden, Marina Square. Talk of all things past, present and future - "You talk like as if I'm getting married next month! Discuss that later, you're stressing me out! (Jolene, when asked if we were going to be massively involved in her wedding preparations)". Endless teasing, with me being the favourite topic. Laughter at the guys' antics, especially Jonathan's take as an effeminate being. Gorgeous black dinner bag from Jolene. Walking by the Singapore river and thereafter sitting at the riverside to enjoy the tranquil Singapore scenery amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. And finally making our way home a little reluctantly for we do not know when we would be able to meet again.

Despite the sad parting, the night out was, as usual, cunning and a much-needed stress-relieving one. I love you people, you know? Especially the fact that the guys have proven once and again the possibility of having platonic friendships.

And Jonathan, this one's for you. I know I speak for all when I say that you have been a wonderful companion, a gentleman when you are not the crazy and irritating monster you intentionally are and always someone with a fresh perspective on things as well. We will miss you a lot when you are over there so you better not forget us or you will never hear the end of it. Heh. Once again, all the best in your future endeavours; we know you can make it. And come back with one damn good degree, hor?
