WONDER BOY: Ming Hee, flying on a jetplane

The first of January is not like how I expected to be a few month ago. Sure, I know Ming, Mak and Soung Roung is about to leave to States at year end or something. I'm pretty much ready for that, just that Mak and Soung, well.. got a little delayed.

As for Ming Hee, who would have thought? The first day of 2009.

The airport can be a very sad place sometimes. It's been a sad place for a year already, who knows? I'm taking a plane too this year, but not somewhere far and just for a moment only.
I sent a few people to the airport, pick up one also! Ming Kim, and my parents.
But none of it is as tough as sending Ming Hee away..
sorryguysbutit'strue..

The guys, waiting while Ming Hee checking in for the plane tickets.
Some could smile, while deep down hoping that time don't go that fast. And yet, some preparing to fill the void that's beginning to grow..

Fei, Kitt and Mak made a album for Ming.
No one can stop the flow of time. But a moment captured in the frame of the heart will never disappear. That will be shown at the bottom of their hearts, and will always give off a great feeling. Sweet...and bitter.
I liked the album, a really good job by them. But though I very much prefer a colliage, thought about it Ming wouldn't able to bring a large frame into the plane either..

Ming found out the album. It was suppose to be a last minute surprise when you should pass the album to Ming when he's crying. But everyone was hogging the album, of course it'll be obvious enough for Ming to suspect something. It's true anyway, no one was paying much attention to him..
How sad is that..

(colors edited by Su San, thanks. I did the cut and paste thing.. I know it sucked.)
25 hugs, and it takes one to make Ming burst emotionally.
The picture doesn't show 25 hugs, they actually do it so quickly that even the camera couldn't take all of them. I'm no pro, couldn't find good angle for good shots too..
If only they hugged like 2 or 3 seconds longer.
An ending will come to everything in this world. It may be a fate that one could never avoid..

Aaah, Ming's farewell it's not all about emotionally sad and gloomy. There are loads of laughter too.
If you look at this picture carefully, you'll notice bare skin. Well, that's Fei's butt.
Along with Mak and Chi Khan's. Mine came later that part, that's right!! We flashed our butts to Ming.. no one was there only us..

and Ming...

Was quite proud. I believe our stupidy will never fade, is what made us.. US.
Even you Ming, before boarding the plane.. taking some of our insanity with you.
There are things that we never want to let go of, people that we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn't the end of the world, it's the beginning of a new life!

Ming called in the end, our very last verbal conversation. And Chi Khan wanted to take a picture with him. Quite smart though for the one who made this idea.. taking picture of you through the phone. If only I had 3g then it'll be much more appropriate.

Every person has the power to make others happy.
Some do it simply by entering a room,
others by leaving the room.
Some individuals leave trails of gloom;
others, trails of joy.
Some leave trails of hate and bitterness;
others, trails of love and harmony.
Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism;
others trails of faith and optimism.
Some leave trails of criticism and resignation;
others trails of gratitude and hope.
What kind of trails do you leave?

Ha! I like this picture! Group hug is my thing!!
I learn that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, BUT people will never forget how you made them feel.

I think Nian's camera is damn chunted!! I tell you is that power!!
Starting to like his camera! Look what kind of wonders it can do. Speed of light!
True good byes are the ones never said or explained.
