The alarm sounded at 645am, interrupting the dream I had been having, shattering the fuzzy world into thousands of tiny little pieces, which rose up and fled like surprised butterflies flapping their wings frantically to get away from  a clumsy intruder who had stumbled onto their glade.   

Today, officially my last day in NUS, my last day as an undergrad, the end of an era, the commencement of a new phase in my life. Thank you all who made my four and a half years so enjoyable and enriching.  That means you guys too, in fact especially you guys, Lulu, Gwen, Uncle Ed, Davidof, for our inane and ridiculous lunches and teabreaks. They may not have been that enriching but they sure were enjoyable.
