It’s time to leave Singapore again. My 12th Singapore-Toronto journey since August 1998. It’s hard to say good-bye, particularly hard this time because a month ago I was made to realize how fragile our mortal lives actually are. We’re all on borrowed time and we never know when that allotted time is up.
A heartfelt thank you to my dear friends who have reached out in concern for me and my family this summer. Thank you for your prayers and your understanding. I’m sorry I couldn’t have spent more time catching up with you, and I am truly and deeply grateful for your complete support.
To my dearest and better-half Zibin, I can never thank God enough for the gift He has given me in You. Your forbearance, courage, patience, love and gentleness have been the balm that soothed my frayed nerves and bruised heart this summer. You never hesitate to give of yourself to me, and to my family. Please keep that beautiful heart and soul of yours as pristine as possible, and keep walking the path our Lord has set you. I promise to study hard and come back to you as soon as possible!
As for my Mom, my most wonderful and dearest mother… I’ve already said so much to you in the last few weeks, but those words only skim the surface of what I feel in my being. You really are my inspiration. Your love and forgiveness seem to grow greater with each ordeal you face and even in your darkest hour, you never ceased to put others before yourself. I know you are strong and independent and that you can do everything for yourself. Still, I wish I could have stayed here longer and taken care of you, even though I could never do as much for you as what you’ve done for me. Don’t worry about me while I’m away in Toronto, I shall remember all that you’ve told me and taught me. And I won’t forget to wear the little ‘sachet’ you so lovingly bestowed on me. :)
It’s time to turn the page and see what the next chapter of my life will be…
