22nd speech.

guess what I found...
It's already been 5 years and everything has changed. I miss you all.

Thanks for celebrating my birthday with me.
I would like to thank God for all his blessings and provision in my life, I feel I am greatly blessed with so much that I do not deserve. I thank God for putting each and everyone of you in my life and I am grateful that I have found all of you in my last 2 years here in Melbourne. I never thought I would be able forge close friendships here after most of my friends left on the 3rd year, but God showed me otherwise. I love you guys and I really am going to miss you all a lot. It is my prayer on this day is that all of you will prosper. I pray that you will find success in your ways. I pray that you will be always blessed and anointed by Him.
I also know that when I leave, there will be changes. We will grow, relationships will change, some getting stronger whilst some loosen because of circumstances. Kenny might get married, Ed will be a pharmaceutical king, Mike might make his millions in Dubai, Giang becomes John Mayor… We will pursue our various careers and goals and our lifestyle and outlook changes. It might never be convenient to gather all you guys onto one table again. But I accept this change as part and parcel of life, and being an international student for 6yrs, I have seen people come and go. But this does not take away the fact that I will miss all of you a lot, and that we have been great friends… even though the years may change and cause us to go our separate ways, I know that whenever I look to Jesus our God, no matter where I am, I’ll also know that there’re other bros and sisters who are just doing the exact same thing. Our God is what will forever keep us together even though we’re far apart. What is a friend? It is a single soul dwelling in two bodies, this is made possible because we’re all united with our love for each other and God. Jesus is what’s uniting each and everyone of us who have come from different walks of life as a group, and I pray that we’ll always love Him because then I know, we will always be held together as a family now and forevermore. Thanks guys.
