~Neoh Kean Ming – Gan Say Quan- Chong William- Yong Kit Yan === 4 sides of the conference table~

—————————————————————————-

I have begun looking forward to the coming back of the 4 sides of the conference table now.

It was around 4 years ago when we first came together and went to Langkawi trip together after our victory on STPM, second toughest examination in the world. We walked a long distance on the island from west to the east, just for the great eagle. We took photos after photos, we had mcd in langkawi, we were amazed by the setting in the Oasis Restaurant, we played darts there, we played cards in the room, we were shocked by the pale face of the lady, we spent whole night talking, playing cards(bluffing game), we did a lot of things, from a-z, but i was still not so close to the other 3 sides of the conference table.

It was until few months later that life played its trick on us, casting its black magic on almost each and every one of us, that we began to stick together and share the joys and tears of one another. It was until that time that i began to gel with you guys. It was that time that saw us drinking and vomitted. It was the time that we almost went out every night and going places to yam cha. It was the time when everything seemed still at lost but except the 4 of us who have sticked together. We went through thick and thin. We walked through grass and concrete stone. We drank coffee and we drank liquor. We discovered winter warmers. We laughed at the chicken run incident. We indulged in the sotong goreng from USJ 9 mamak. Which we called it our ‘lou dei fong’. We talked from those days to these days to future. We gone through a lot.

When Jeff ‘leaving on a jet plane’, we kept talking about not letting this bond loosen its strength, not to any extend tat is tolarateable. We talked about keeping it strong. As if long distance is never a problem.

But in the end, what happened?

I got myself being isolated. At least i felt so genuinely true.
I was seen as the person who isolate myself from the group.

Apparently i would take my vow that i was really busy with my things in campus. When the Australia side of the table came back last year, i was really busy and had no choice but to stay in UKM most of the time. I took my effort to come back to rejoin. But i know it was not really appreciated. It wasn’t a make up effort from me, it was a ‘i really want to’ effort from me.

Right nw  i am still trying my very best to be around whenever any yumcha time was being called. I am now in subang jaya. I do not see any reason in terms of long distance travel stopping me anymore. I hope this time around i will be a better fren, a better side of the conference table.

22nd nov is the day jeff comes back. I know no one is going to see this post here.
but frankly speaking, i am beginning to counting down to the day already. I am really missing the time together. But right to the bottom, i am still very grateful that each and everyone of you have come into my path when i was at the trough at that time, i see no reason i would be the first one to call in a day and abandone this conference table at any given time, i appreciate so much.

Thanks again. To

Yong Kit Yan.
