Of Farewells & CNY

Bro flew off today to Australia today… He’s going to Perth for 3 years to study for a degree in Media & Marketing… In fact, I just came back from sending him off…

He flew off to Australia together with his girlfriend, Nat, and her parents. It has been only 10 days since I return to Singapore and He’s flying off for 3 years. Time passes so fast…

Mum was trying to control herself from crying, as evident from her red eyes. She was like this when I left for Thailand as well. Makes me wonder: How was it like to miss a child? Guess I won’t know the answer.

It was a sober trio that made its way back home after sending my brother off. Or at least, only mum. For me, I don’t really feel that bad. It’s not like I won’t be able to see him again. Dad was his usual self.

It’s a pity that bro had to fly off before Chinese New Year. But then again, it’s not that our family will be celebrating Chinese New Year. Tradition dictates a mourning period of 3 months after a family member (in this case, my Grandma) died. Therefore, no wearing red and no angbaos.

I don’t really mind… I still can’t imagine a CNY without my Grandma… No more Orh Kwueh, either…

Haiz… Still, Bro being in Australia is not that bad of a deal :P. If I can’t go Japan this year, I can always go Perth ^^. Back up Graduation Holiday plan ready.

I dunno whether I’m gonna miss him or not… These few days, I feel like I’m kinda detached from the world… Like I have no feelings whatsoever, Kinda freaky.

But yeah, when I sort things out, I’ll update again. Good thing of him leaving, No one’s fighting with me over the internet and I can have as many sleepovers as I want. :P After all, his room will be empty. :P
