September has been an eventful month so far. Other than the
staycation, it was feast after feast and gatherings with friends. The most
significant one should be the family BBQ. It has been way too long since we had
our last family gathering. It was actually
because Ah Pig is leaving to UK for her studies! All thanks to Simin for
organising the BBQ and also to get the food prepared so that everyone can enjoy
the BBQ.
Ah Pig is our youngest cousin, thus, it’s no doubt that
everyone dotes on her and will worry for her when she is going to a faraway
land to complete her studies. But of course, we are happy for her as she is
able to experience a different lifestyle from all of us. Something that given a chance, we wouldn’t
have the financial ability to go. I guess it also takes a lot of courage for
one to leave behind everything and go abroad to pursue own dreams.
Other than the BBQ, we also prepared a special gift for her.
A gift which would allow her to remember us when she is there (if she brings it
over that is). It’s a book of compilation of messages from most of the cousins,
nieces, nephews and even the aunties! I bet it has been many years since the
aunties have actually wrote such messages! I believe that Ah Pig is very very
touched to receive this gift. I’m sure everyone will be and should be touched
when receiving such a meaningful gift!
So on 14 September, the whole lot of us marched down to
Changi Airport to send her off. Although she seldom turns up for our
gatherings, we will still miss her. Haha! Took quite a few shots together. Can
also see that auntie is really unwilling to let her go. And of course, similar
to all farewells, tears were shed. We were all ok till tears started to flow
out of her eyes and automatically, all of us started to cry as well. But they
were gone as fast as they came. So all is fine! Just hope that Ah Pig has a
good time in UK and graduate with flying colours! Oh yes! And that she must
come back after 3 years!
