... and his name is Ashley Penny

The first impression doesn't always blow you away, or something.
Rather, sometimes, your anti social mode took over your body and soon or later, you would find that your so-called judgment standards are totally failed and it takes more than a kiss-in-the-cheek and cheerful Hiiiiiii to know his warm lovely colorful kind personality.

...and his name is Ashley Penny. A simple hearted Aussie whom i only met in his last weeks of stay/work in the city. Sad.

It is true, indeedm that i dont miss the water till the well runs dry. We went out to the Tavern and the club...twice? Three times? or more? A totally alien thing for me because i was raised so in Christianly modest way. I dont fancy the songs....i dont fancy the beers or vodca or the dance floor....I wholeheartedly enjoy the companion, the silly things and funny things and eeeew things and ao things and hahahaha things he showed me, he kindly shared with me and with a few friends.

But then, i didn't realize how i enjoyed his cheerfulness and companion until last nite when we hugged and said good bye...
He loves sending tons of message in any given hour of the day/nite saying nothing but 'Weeeeee..!' or, "Apaaaaaaa?!!!!," and never failed to show his appreciation by saying, "..it's been Fun FUN FUN..!"

He leaves for his hometown, Melbourne, tomorrow then headed to Sanghai for another job contract.
I hate to know I already miss him eventhough i dunno much about him....
The last time i felt this pand of sadness was when my dad died, and it took me so long to realize i've been missing him until after we left his funeral ceremony. I broke down and wondered where i've been...

"It's much more better to leave Medan and you guys when everything's so right, everything feels goood,"Ashley said last nite. And he's right...

However, this is a beautiful goobye...my dearest friend, Ashley.

Can't wait to see ya again this December or on March next year...We all surely will miss you soo much.

Thanks for every single thing. YOu dunno how much you changed the way i see things in life...thank you...!


Good bye for now my beautiful friend, all the best and be sure that you are loved, you are loveable...and you will definitely get good friends in Sanghai...
