"True friendship isn't about being inseparable. It's being separated and nothing changes."

My dear friend and partner-in-crime for more than 7 years (and still counting of course), went back to UK today. 3 weeks went by in a jiffy and seriously, where did all the time go? I can't help but feel a little sad and regretful on the inside because i wish i could have spend more time with her. But sadly, while she was here in Singapore, i was away for camps. So, the very least i could do was to meet up with her whenever i was free. I guess it was tougher on her part in every way. I really can't imagine myself leaving my best and closest friends behind. Definitely not after 3.5 years of being away from them, nor after spending so much time with them during this 3 weeks. I will probably cry my eyes out, ain't even kidding.

I have known Sumanjit since we're in secondary 1 but we only got closer in secondary 3. She was, in every way, my foodie partner, study buddy, gossip friend and movie mate. Yes, i'm sad that she's leaving and well, she might not even come back to Singapore for the next couple of years. But deep down, i'm happy for her because i know she is happier in UK. There are so much more opportunities for her over there (like friends and university). I can sense a change in her when i first met her at the airport 3 weeks ago; other than the slight british accent of course, she was bubblier than before, able to speak her mind and dresses really well now. To me, if being in another country can bring out a different and much better side of her, i'm really happy for her. After all, we should always be happy for our friends when they do well right! Talking about all these makes me want to migrate to UK as well. Guess i need a change in my life too hahaha. But anyways, i really have to thank Sumanjit for always being there for me when things got tough and when i needed someone to rant or to talk to, despite the 7 hours time difference. I know we have got each other's back!
