and another one bites the dust!! well, im probably saying that because an unimaginable amount of envy is welling up inside me as i type this. so that's fran and daphne now, and not long till cynthia joins the fray. i know i've bitched about this hundreds of times, but i still can't get over the fact that we started this whole long, arduous task of applying to the states together, just the 3 of us with great, great dreams in mind and fat padded wallets to achieve this end (just fran, i guess). and it was a great journey because we(and by we i mean me, again) got to know each other so much better and the idea of being in a group of likeminded individuals just made everything that much more exciting. i remember the dreaded SATS, the essay workshops and college visits etc etc. we all got accepted into wherever it was we wanted to go eventually, fran in columbia, cynthia in UPenn and me in NUS (har har har!), but it looks like im the only one who never completed the journey that we started together. well, until i get over that nasty fact i'll just curl up in a dark, dangy corner of my room and curse myself. in the meantime, i've decided to save up my monthly allowance so that at the end of my first year of medical studies i'll have enough moolah to dig into to go visit them. anyone interested?

well here are some of the photos we took at the airport last night. i really like the presents we got her(and i've got geri to thank for that) because the blatant but really beautiful (oooooooooh stars!!! haha) girlishness of the card kinda offset the professional but boring feel of the camera stand. which reminds me, i ought to upload the step-by-step photos of how fran's puppet came to be!
