a place of partings and re-unions

It was one of the few mornings where I took the transport route B (instead of my company shuttle). The bus ride brings me to the airport where I need to transfer to the train.

As I plied through the airport terminal, it dawn on me that it is not just a place where passengers board and alight from the planes. It is a place that being through countless goodbyes and re-unions. A place where tears of sadness and joy are interspersed. Some of these departures are permanent but hopefully majority is temporary.

gu

ah gu - a nick coined by my ex-colleagues.

how it came abt, i hav no recollection.
some speculations:
1. a shorten form of my name which sounds similar - augu
2. cos i slogged as hard as a gu (bull in hokkien dialect)
3. cos i rushes (probably rushed) into things with vigor and rashness like a pitbull

it is an interesting question that i must ask...
