~Graduation~

The Awards Ceremony

I looked back at the pictures,the sms-es and e-mails I have received.Even reading the same e-mails again from my tutor bring tears to my eyes easily.The loud 'byebye' shout when Sakuya saw our bus off and her waving frantically,trying to hold back tears,the sad look when Yuri and the rest got down from the bus,Pon-chan,Maki,Eiguchi and I hugging each other and sobbed non stop when we were the last 5 to get off the bus was still playing vividly in my mind.I couldn't believe it has finally ended.The 3 fast years,the 3 memorable years,the first 3 years of my memories of Japan.This was where my Japan life began,and it ended with tears I never knew I had.

Graduation

I'm still running around,getting my errands done,meeting with my host family for lunch,change my address etc..But when night comes,the hollow never fails to set in.I no longer have Yuri around to teach me about the right pronuncations and to share the mutual understandings,no Gento for me to bully but yet always so composed and never showed his temper,no Waki to explain to me how things work,no Araki to share about the ever funny-talks of Miyazaki and Basshi,no Mossan around to listen to my craps,no Eguchi to compete with,no Asu saying she loves me,no Maki to talk about her latest boyfriend,no Tomoko to envy,no Sakuya and Rie to see their blurness,no Pon-chan to listen to her blunt words,no Tomizawa-sensei to show me the right way to do experiments..

謝恩会（thanks-giving party to the teachers)

Who would have thought I would have found my own group of friends here.I thought when I first came in,that I'll only graduate with the foreign students as my friends.The 'smaller' shorterones..

It never occured to me I would go Onsen(hot spring) with them,go for drinks with them,went to America and Malaysia with them,went to see hot air balloon with them,went for lunches and dinners and have suprise parties with them..and to graduate with the best results I have ever imagined.I haven't leave but already I'm missing all the times I've had here=(
