I was munching the nougat that Alan gave and suddenly I rekindle those nice memories when we were together. We were colleagues once and as times passed by we became closer. He’s doing quite well in Adelaide…he’s a famous painter now! Listening to the story he told us about how relaxed life is in Adelaide made us realized how stressful life is in Singapore. In fact, comparing to most of the countries I’ve been...there’s none like Singapore...the life here is always ‘Kelam Kabut’ everyone seems to be in a hurry...even my granddaughter started complaining about her workload in school, but for as long as we could make it here...this will still be the country for us.
Anyway only two days ago we were together for a short while after two long years...he’ll fly tonight. I’m not sure that I could still be here waiting for him in three years time but I’m sure looking forward to the meeting especially the cheese cake that he said he’ll bring. If I can’t make it...do remember me every time you sink your teeth in the fluffy cake, will you Alan?
