• "...what we do in life echoes an eternity."
         -Maximus Decimus Meridius

  
  

  Thank you, friends, for leaving a lasting impression in my heart. Thank you for providing me with the strength to 'believe', the courage to 'persist' and the 'will' to survive. I am going to miss you all so much. As cliche as it sounds, words truly cannot (at least in my primitive vocabulary) express the love, respect, honour etc. I have for you.

  
  

  As I reflect on the life that I've lived, I can start to see where the chapters of my life have begun and ended. Throughout my personal book of life, I've encountered many different people. I've realized and now appreciate that no matter how brief a role, they each play a role in shaping who I am, affecting every fibre of my being - and lasting an eternity. There are some that come and go. Some that arrive in chapter 3, make brief appearances through 4 and 5, and end up changing you in chapter 7. Others, you meet and stay with you for life.

  
  

  Although I may be leaving you at this chapter in life, don't think I've disappeared. If I don't show up in the next chapter, you'll see me in the one after that, or the one after that and so forth. And if, heaven forbid, you happen to be one of the ones whose book I do not appear in again later in life, know that the actions that I've done in our chapters together echoes in your eternity - just as yours, all of yours, already echoes in mine.

  
  

  Missing you in Shanghai,

  Today I am feeling very nostalgic
