For my sisters

Last Tuesday night was the night of farewell, as well as the night of reminiscence. My soon to be brides maid found her dream job in Singapore so there she goes, "all her bags are packed and she is ready to go... cuz she's leaving on a jetplane, dont know when she'll be back again..."

okok, cut the emo crap. Sincerely, am happy for her, from the bottom of my heart. She had always yearned to go back to research job and after taking such a BIG step of faith by submitting a resignation letter on her current post without any secured job offer in place, she deserve it 100%. However, it still make me sad somehow to know that now she will be in some faraway merlion roaring land at 300++km away. Although i know she is a lady of her own now, but for some reason, we just cant stop worry about her (dont you feel the same, ky?). Will she get along with new housemates? will she fit into the new church? will there be a lot of work pressure in Singapore? I think no matter how old she is, she is still our dear mong-cha-cha sister.

When i'm slowly getting to accept the news of her soon departure, i heard another news that supposedly-my-other-bridesmaid-if-she-is-around-in-KL went through a very tough time in UK. Maybe its the fact that she had always took the extra effort to fly back and spend time with us as often as possible, i'd always felt that she is somewhat in vicinity (although physically she is not). However, after the online chat with her that day, it began to dawn on me that we are actually very very far away from each other, and though my heart ached for her, and no matter how much i wanted to give her a hug or even just to be close to her, it is physically impossible.

Sometimes i just cant belive that it has been 4 solid years since we waved goodbye to the little house we shared in albany road, Kensington. Those happy and wonderful moments are simply too short. We were still very young and dont know much about the reality of life (especially the working life), and the only thing we worried about is eat, play and sleep!

It has been a long journey since then. We have found our job, settled in a new church, visited more places, expanded our circles of friends dadada... And frankly we are walking on different paths now, and maybe even towards different direction. However, i know we will always keep each other close to our heart, and no matter where we are and what we are doing, we will always have faith in each other, and doing our best in our position and in our life.

So, til we meet again!
