Farewell ZS

In life, its becoming more common to have welcome home parties and farewell parties. Many of our friends are moving around the globe, each building their own niches. A couple of weeks ago, another of my friend had decided to pack his bag and leave the country for another place where there are more opportunities, to start his own start-up. Perhaps it was a chance of a lifetime to do something totally brand new, to be an entreprenuer.

I wonder how many of us, Singaporeans can actually do the same. At 31, a young man packed his 6yrs of life into 30kg suitcase and left town, in a cab, to look forward to another new begining. How many of us can actually squeeze your last 6yrs of life into 30kg? I know I cant! Not 6yrs of life.... I cant even pack 3.5wks of travelling! hee...

oh well, wishing my dear friend ZS all the world's very best for his new venture. Thank you for all the joys that you've brought to my life by just being you. We'll never forget the "Zhan You", the "Zhumb" hee.....

One conversation that took place went like this:

J: how come the dumplings came frozen? are they freshly made?

ZS: 1st reason is, if its not frozen, how do we transport it from the shop?

J: okay, then what's the next reason? (waiting eagerly....)

ZS: (after a thoughtful moment....) well,basically, it is like this, Only 1 reason! that's it.

Everyone: HA HA HA HA (bursting out in laughter)

well, you may not relate very well to the "joke" above, but its such pure joy to be immerse in the delightful company of a simple friendship.

ZS was a really cool dude standing at 1.8m tall, he was often the nice guy who would help anyone in need without hesitation. In his simple ways, he's cracked us up millions of times.

Oh man, how I miss these guys....

So on his farewell, I've opened my house for him to "perform" his culinary skills (before I have to fly to Beijing to taste them again... :( ). So he cooked the veggie and the tomato eggs for us, while Liu Liu took charge of the dumplings, Ke Ke amazed me with his superb garlic cutting skills. While the chief organiser took a step back and LAZE around..... hee...
