Thought I’ll start my first entry on the start of the new year.
2009 indeed flew by in a blink of an eye. I thought of a few things today; my departure to the States, Carolyn, my family, things I’m gonna miss.
It’s always easy to just take things for granted especially family as they are always close by and even if they may live a distance away, it is at most an hour drive to reach them.
We went to Winnie’s house after lunch. And although we were playing our own games on the pc, it led me to reminisce our younger years when we studied together, read together, slept together and basically lived in the same flat together. Winnie and I have our own families now so even though there are occasional opportunities of staying together, the feel is no longer the same. It got me thinking to how much I’ve missed having been away from them.
We had our early reunion dinner today. I think I’ve enjoyed our cousin gatherings for 2009 and through those gatherings, we have become closer. There are also more things to talk about now than before. Seeing them again today made me feel that yes, we are family. I’m gonna miss those gatherings and food sessions.
Auntie Fong gave me a gift for my departure. It is a book titled New Day New You and is a book that will help me gain wisdom and inspiration from God’s words. I will definitely read it everyday. This is also 1 of my resolutions for the new year. There’s no better time to receive this book. Really appreciative of it.
Ok, I shall sign off now. Juggling between my Cafe World, Famville and packing. Gonna be busy for the remaining hours of the night :P
