So many of us are leaving the lab now, there's just going to be R left. It's YSS' birthday today, and Omar's farewell party tonight. We celebrated YSS' birthday yesterday, and LZ came along.
It's interesting to note that LZ is much of an introvert. That's from several conversations we've had and how he's always so cool. There must be so many things I don't know yet, and he's reluctant to talk about. Still, it's good being friends. And that's what I've realised from the past few days. I am now much in control of myself, and even today while the solutions were being thrown out, I felt much at ease. I can finally converse as I would do casually to a friend.
YSS got the best birthday present ever! I really have to hold it up to her - neverending determination and hope that you'll hardly find in another. These things are all meant to be. I am meant to go to Lausanne, and already I am curious as to what lies ahead for me beyond the Swiss Alps! Well, perhaps I'll have a clue next week.
Finally, a kiss is just a kiss. Drinks do no good and I'm glad I've taken myself off the booze for some time now. Need to continue that determination. Farewells are part and parcel of life and everyone is just but a passer-by. Still, it was probably the first time I've experienced such a friendly and meaningless kiss.
