Salute

well... it IS that season of the year again and everyone is on "hiatus" until 6 weeks later ><
ah wells. but still, i think i must catalogue this down first...

we had a send off for lucas on wednesday.

it was kinda weird though. someone tt rly helped us 3, 4 years ago, disappeared 2 years ago and only just reappeared to say goodbye: heh, how time flies?

we met up at teh airport with max and liks, and they were busy eating at the foodcourt lol. shakugan and i came afterwards with an oddly wrapped present (hey, time was tight, okay?)

lucas was like teh star attraction: he had 3 tables with people sending him off, and ask liks put it "had slots". so he'd come over for 10mins, talk and laugh and crap then move off to another table..

memories from random talks then:
1. warning shaku not to send him hentai.
2. suggesting shaku to send hentai to qy, instead.
3. asking what we planned to do in a couple of years' time (he still remembers what i said 3 yrs ago)
4. talking about how airport baggage weight restrictions are quite oddly phrased
5. talking about how he and his family reacted to oddly phrased airport baggage weight restrictions
6. telling liki "can you please beat the [fish] out of [Rara Inc.]?"

sigh. 4 yrs of memories wortz?
afterwards we milled arnd terminal 3 with his family (oO) and other friends (some whom we recognized)

it's odd that after 4 yrs we still remember his mannerisms and random character and he still rmbs us.

so, to the person who was a friend, coach, confidant, helper, crapper, etc. not just to me but to the rest here at Hamtum Chapteh Intl db8,

thanks for the memories.

and bon voyage.
