those not so famous words
as the clock slowly ticks away, the minutes fall off and the hour draws nearer and nearer. i'm going to be leaving again. i'm just glad and grateful for everything that has transpired, i'm surrendered that i'm not leaving spore gasping for more, that everything is rounded off nicely, and the excitment of a new journey seems to be waiting in the horizon. final year in perth, indie boy power up!
this is what i wanna say to some of you, i wish it could have been all.
napkin man : bro, you've been a great friend to me all this while, and i'm really glad we can actually call each other god-brothers as well. thanks for being there for me, i wish i could be there physically for you as well, but know this, i will be praying for you every step of the way and one day all who pang-seh will be reunited.
thomas : though we've only hung out a couple of times, especially for the sake of jamming, i'm glad for all the fun we've had, the insights, and for a change, a chance to listen to you as well. -) it really has been my distinct honour, and that we can call each other brothers as well. (like black people do)
mark : dude, you've been more than a drummer to me. i thank God that you're in the band, and also in the same cell and that we can share the good times, the mad times and all times. i've learnt much from you, but i won't hesitate to call you a brokeback! haha, keep the faith alive.
adrian : dude, thank you so much for the times of cell and more. the wisdom God gives you is astounding and insightful, and i pray that he will also continue to guide you and lead you as you finish your final year, in your work, and also the craft and ministry that he has given you.

jeannie : though we've only met a coupla times, i will not forget just how far back our friendship goes as well! i'm glad you've grown up and all, and really, talking to you is always one of the easiest things to do, because you always seem to ask the right questions. be well jeannie baby!
