  Hello, beloved old friend.

  It's wonderful to see you again.

   

  You were a breath of familiarity

  upon stepping into campus grounds. 

   

  Your new residence is indeed beautiful,

  with infrastructure and amenities that

  far surpasses those in our old home. 

   

  

  As soon as I saw your accompanying

  words of amanah I felt the slight 

  resentment (at not coming back to

  Bukit Merbah) in my chest ebb away.

   

  We're going to be alright.

   

  

  This is what you induce from our

  grateful trio every year, without fail.

  We can't thank you enough for that.

   

  At the end of the day, what I realised

  is that you will still be our home, no

  matter where you are - in the middle

  of a Nilai plantation; on top of a hill in

  Seremban city; God knows where else.

   

  They can even put you on the moon next,

  but what will always be important to us is

  that your character lives on in perpetuity.

   

  And that is enough.
