Requiem for a dream.

And so, the time has come. Right now im sitting at some corner at the Brisbane Airport, waiting to board the plane. A wave of sadness overwhelmed me this morning, just after I left my ex-residence at Mermaid Beach. As I was walking to the bus stop to catch my bus to school, the skies opened slightly. It was as though my heart was crying, or the place was calling out to me to stay a little longer. Mermaid beach has been my home and place of solitude for the past 3 months. All good things have to come to an end, though sad, I will bring with me the many wonderful memories I have of the place, the people, the beach and the sea throughout my life journey. It has truly been a special chapter of my life, and I am so grateful for everything.

 

The many days and nights spent sitting on the balcony, enjoying the breeze and looking out into the endless horizon, giving me strength and inspiration to complete my last semester here dutifully. The wonderful neighbours I have, always looking out for one another, the meals we had together, parties we played together, jokes we made about each other and times we spent with one another, will never be duplicated again.

 

My last night on the coast was yet another memorable one. My housemate and neighbours thought of cooking a special dinner for my farewell, called the Last Supper. Haha. Even though most of us are frantically studying for the exams, they took time to cook up a nice and hearty meal of roast pork.

 

Opps..time to board the plane. I better end here, before I miss my flight. Thank you all, my friends. All the best in your life journeys. Cheers.
