The day has to come although we had been trying not to think about it but it hit home after her flight took off and it was a quiet drive to Tabuan Jaya Baru 1. The rest of the day dragged on and I had a fitful night and the next day wasn’t much better especially when my wife found the tearful letter, hidden in her drawers, she wrote to us the night before.
Skim’s the sweetest and most wonderful daughter any parents could ever have wished for and we missed her terribly now that she’s left for Kuala Lumpur to pursue her dreams of being a lawyer. Though putting on a brave front and being the confident person that she undeniably is despite her tender age 0f 17; we knew that she must be missing us as much as did her. Letting go hurts. Terribly.
That was Thursday and now it’s Monday night and I’m still not feeling that much better and it’s back to work for me tomorrow after 5 long days of leave mulling in the past and reflecting on the quick passage of time in this life. I really do need to get on the water. And breathe.

Man! Love comes with the full package of every sort of emotions! Some appears frequent, some is lesser. But the lesser one could linger much much longer although it occurs less.
why you post up my unphotoshopped face. -___-
hi unker! long time no see.
your post reminded me of the first time i had to leave home for a long stretch of time. i missed my family terribly but i survived (not without up and downs). :p i’m sure you guys will get used to it after a while. now there’s something new to look forward too: semester breaks! 
Hey, cheer up! It’s only KL, mah. It’ll give you and your family more chances of coming to KL, right? Congrats! One bird has flown the nest.
How are you, Francis? Haven’t been here awhile. Hope all’s well.
