Simonscaped

It is time my friends, for us to stop meeting like this.

I intend for this to be my last entry into this online journal.

I let the web ensnare my thoughts on a whim some years ago. Later justification for this blog's existence was typical.

It was a way for my parents to keep track of me, to let my friends know what I was up to etc, etc...

But you write for yourself. It's an indulgence, a chance to entertain, to get on a soap-box, to write what is difficult to say. A fun little opportunity to sneak my future self little hidden messages to celebrate and ruminate on a time and a world gone by.

The tagline for this blog is "a tree grows in Hamilton". I'm not done growing. None of us are. But I am grown up. I don't know how it happened. I suppose somewhere in the past few years, I realized that I trust my own judgment more than I trust anyone else's.

And I think that this is the way that it should be.

I have had a wonderful time in Hamilton, and in medical school. Like all goodbyes, this comes sooner than I expected, and is a little bittersweet. I'm proud of my little piece of the world wide web, and I truly appreciate if you've ever taken the time to peruse this blog. If you ever want to know what I'm up to, or to be alerted if I start blogging somewhere else, please fire me an email! (chan_siu_man|at|hotmail.com)

My adventures will continue! As, I am sure, will your own.

Until we meet again,
Simon

Simon, say it ain't so! Too late for an April Fool's joke, right? What will become of blogger without the most popular blog on the internet (as rated by me)?

Kudos though for the fitting final image you have chosen to leave us with. No matter where your adventures take you, you never cease to bring sexy back.

xoxo,
Gill

Simon! This is the saddest news I've heard all day!

I love your blog - LOVE it. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry, and it fills with awe and admiration of you and the wonderful person you are. You're just going to have to send me personal emails now.
