Just got a call from American Airlines today telling me that my ticket to fly back home has been booked. I would be leaving from Champaign airport on May 17th at around 545pm. That's about 2 weeks from now! I will be arriving in Malaysia on May 18th at around 12 noon, if there is no delay in my flight.

These few days I have been overwhelmed by nolstagic feelings as I walked around campus for maybe the last few times in my life. Every sight that I see, every path that I take...all of them seem to remind me of different people that I have met, whom I might never get to see again for the rest of my life.

It seems just like yesterday I have arrived here, and today I am leaving a place which has taught me so much, which has given me so many memories to hold and cherish in my heart.

To all who have touched my life and heart at one point or another, maybe you will never know just how much, but you will always be remembered. Maybe one day if Fate is willing, we will meet again at a new place in a new world...how much would we have changed by then? Or could we freeze time so that everything will always stay the same?

They said goodbyes are such sweet sorrow.

It's true.

I'm standing at the door to a new world
What I've realized is that I'm not alone

If I close my eyes
You're behind my eyelids
How strong has that made me?
I hope I'm the same for you
