Total Recall
Like sand slipping through my fingers, I grasp on to my remaining moments here in Tucson in futility. The night approaches and the skies darkens, and my view of the mountains fades to black as another day departs from us forever. It feels like Tucson is a dream and Singapore reality. The stark brightness of day frightens me, and like many dreamers before me I am afraid to wake up too quickly lest the dream’s light imprints on my memory is swept away by any sudden movement.
Like an old man whose weakness becomes more apparent each day, youth’s clarity will abandon me and I fear I will not remember your name or the feel of your hug. You, so many of you, have touched me in so many ways and my heart is inevitably molded because of you.
Thanks, all of you who were Tucson to me. I will remember how you loved me, even if the whats, wheres, whens and whos fade away from me. A part of my heart will always be home to you all, and my love for you found therein.
God bless.

As the days have passed by for me, i to will remember the times we hung out together, electrin. I have called you a couple times this weekend with no avail, perhaps you would like not to meet one last time with zahid and I as it would bring closure to our friendship or a period of our lives... but alas good friend, who knows for we may someday meet again. The relief that i have is that you have a great website in which we can keep in touch, and share memories through pictures and such. Wanted to give you that CD i have of Zahid's birthday 2 or 3 years ago, so please meet us before you depart; and also remember that friends like you and zahid should never grow apart.
