just sent my bro off at the airport just now. it was sad but i didn't cry. like i've said, i never cry in public nor in front of anyone, i don't simply cry, even if i watch sad movies, i don't cry. the whole situation kinda reminds me of the time when i left for UK. Mum did cried although she said that she'll never cry. however, she only started crying when she was in the car after sending my bro off. according to my sis, this time was a lot better compared to the time when i left for UK 2 years ago. according to her, Mum started crying right after i entered the departure gate. in the car, the situation was so tensed and such a coincidence, the radio station that we were listening to was playing sad songs. of course we got more tensed. then Dad switched to another Chinese channel (Mum and Dad only listen to Chinese channels, but sometimes Dad listens to Light & Easy) and what the hell, it was playing sad songs too. all the sad lyrics, "wo ku" and "hen xiang ni"..war lau eh... why lar so ngam one!! when we reached home, Mum was ok already. pheww... but Hailie was like so puzzled. she saw and i believe she knew (dogs are smart creature ok) 5 of us left the house earlier, but only 4 came back. where's "ko ko"??

Tanny, have a safe journey, take care and all the best!! And be good!!
