...when I drove off and my sister waved us goodbye at the drop-off area at Heathrow Airport earlier today. Jean, my 3rd sis, will soon be on her way home to Singapore. Even though we're not the buddy-buddy kind of siblings and don't talk lots to each other, we sincerely care and love each other. We have our ways of showing our sisterly affection. She's my shopping buddy and is ever generous by buying my family and myself things.
Jean came to UK to work almost 2 years ago and told me she wouldn't have done so if we were not here. During those times, we went on holidays together and she came during weekends to stay. No doubt we disagree at times as per normal, she's there for me whenever I'm down. It's good to know that I have my sister staying so close to me. Now that she has left, I felt somewhat lonely. My only relative (other than Daniel) has gone home. I know she's just a phonecall or email away but it's different....absolutely different when we are thousands of miles apart.
Jean, I hope you had enjoyed your work stint in London and do not regret your decision to go back. I wish you all the best in the future and may you find your dream job. Enjoy your laksa, chicken rice, nasi lemak, vegetarian beehoon etc etc!
Thanks for everything.
Love, sis.
