Bye Bye Nat

This week has been Bye Bye Nat week.

Bye Bye Nat started officially on Wednesday with a dinner at this steak and seafood restaurant near Thomson. It was quite a bittersweet experience, as we recollected our five years together as F5, laughed about those funny and stupid things we used to do school and in JC and as Bea started to tear mid-way. Incidentally, there was a group of five or six old ladies in the table next door celebrating a friend's birthday. I wonder we'd be like that 40 years down the road, but Ass said "hope not" because the didn't look very good. It's unbelievable how shallow that woman can be.

Bye Bye Nat part II took place on Sat at her place. She invited a whole lot of people (like around 30-40) almost all of whom were AC people, so frankly I felt quite out of place but I did a bit of socialising. Thank God people like Ass, Meixi, Clare, MEGAN BARKER, aliya etc (E had dance and Bea was in China) were there, so there was still the MG group to chat with.

Bye Bye Nat part III took place at Changi Airport obviously. We gave Nat a book of photos mostly comprising of unglamorous photos (there are PLENTY) and our notes and everything. We didn't cry, surprisingly, but it was pretty heartbreaking to see Nat's grandmother cry.

It's quite unbelievable that Nat, who has just boarded her plane to Melbourne as I type this, is gone. Just like that, a part of me has just flown away hahaha.

Hope she has a great time in Melbourne, and seriously, thank God for skype and email.
