Went to see Yumun off in the morning. Gave her Shirley's illustration and got a hug in return. How's that for a sweetest goodbye? I'm really going to miss that girl. That's one less person who'll read my grumbling and whiny SMSes. Surprisingly, the only girl from our class that came was Liling. I was under the impression that more were coming. It's just as well then that I'd asked some of the other guys to come. It'd have been terrible if only two people from our class had showed up to send her off. Be safe over at Georgetown! Bummed around with the guys until it was time for class party. Ka Tsai had to leave because he was meeting his family, and Kay Hwee was totally shagged out from guard duty on Friday. So I ended up at Cineleisure with Ming Yong and Thong. Ben Woon joined us and we settled down to watch Sophie Scholl: Die Letzten Tage (The Final Days). It was disturbing, but what contemporary audience could fail to be unsettled by such a film? We can only thank God that we didn't live in that era, and work to prevent the possibility of its recurrence, in any form. (It's wonderful that Bush can't be elected for a third term.) Class gathering was fun, although it didn't feel like this was the last time we were seeing each other for at least a few months (which it was). I took some photographs to capture our own final days together, but everyone probably just thought I was crazy. Do you think they'll regret it when they've left and realise that they haven't got anything tangible to remember that day by? I know I really regret not capturing the times we spent in school. All the humdrum, mundane moments now seem so inseparably a part of who we were, of our identity as A01A 04/05...
