I never wanted to post this early. In fact, I was avoiding the fact that I have graduated and I no longer can mingle around with my buddies in MC and campus. I hate the idea of attending farewell dinner. I dislike saying goodbye with friends, waving so happily while my heart cries. I never liked those moments.

But, a fact is a fact. I have to face it.

I would say 6 May was a historical day for Journalism students (Class of May 2008). You see, throughout these years, we have never attended any dinner together (all of us!). Never. The closest was a dinner at New Paris Restaurant after our internship. That was the only occasion that I could recall where I see a blend of JR1 and JR2 friends.

For us (at least, most of us), JR1 is JR1; and JR2 is JR2. No strings attached. No connection whatsoever. These statements can be easily proved when you take a peep during our lecture. The JR1s will occupy the left (or right side, it doesn’t matter), whereas the JR2s will take the opposite side.

Different tutorial groups were also broken down into smaller groups. Take for example JR2. There were 23 of us and there were obviously a few groups of people. The Indians. The typical Chinese. The talkative. And the loudspeakers. (There were a few other groups but it is not convenient for me to name them here. If you’re interested, you may ask me personally)

These sad incidents made me believe that a farewell dinner is NOT possible, no matter what. Even if it is possible, only half of the students will turn up.

I was so wrong.

In fact, all attended a farewell dinner at Flaming Steamboat Restaurant at Sunway, right after our very last paper. We had a great time taking pictures, telling stories, sharing dreams. I thought for a moment, “Wouldn’t it be better if we were these close all these while?” I guess not. If we were these close.. I don’t think we would even cherish the moments we had during our farewell dinner. Aaa… those precious moments.

Anyway, we had successfully organise a dinner and I thought it would be great for me to share some of the wonderful shots with you. For those who are still studying, “love your coursemates!!”

As for my coursemates, “wishing you all the very best and hope to see you guys again. Good Luck”
