Fond Farewell

Today we leave Singapore. Doris is here already at the service apartment with us and I am not sure when the others will arrive. The plan is to take the 14-seater bus provided by Orchard ParkSuites and have lunch at the airport after we have checked in. I think the 14-seater will not be able to accommodate everyone plus the luggage so someone may have to drive after all. Oops, I hear the doorbell. Yes, it is yee yee.

Carynn left on August 17. It was very late and I really really appreciate the camaraderie shown by the whole gang. By the time, we left the airport, it was around midnight. The gang, to which Doris apparently has been drafted, has spent almost every single day with us in the service apartment, playing tennis and having supper in Orchard Road till the wee hours. As Abby said so aptly, it felt like we were on holiday. All holidays unfortunately have to come to an end. And the end is nigh.

I have not kept up with the dairy because it was unbelievably busy the last couple of weeks. When I have some spare moments in California, I will try to write up the events.

Farewell Singapore and all the family and friends we have. It was not planned at all but my entire brood has somehow ended up in North America. It's destiny.
