Leaving for St Louis

The day have come for me to depart to St Louis for my oversea course. The feeling was bad. It was so much different from the previous India detachment that I went during Dec 07. The duration was the same but I just have the uneasy feeling of going away for that 1 months plus.
Maybe it due to leaving Kim all alone in singapore. This is our first time since married that I will not be seeing her for 1 months plus. I really hope that she can cope well without me around.

The previous night before leaving, I simply cannot sleep. Was so wide awake watching Tv and even manage to play some mahjong. Zhiwei , Racheal and joclyn was around at kim house playing mahjong to keep themselve awake so that they can send me off early in the morning. Was so touched that they and Deyong are sending me off.

Reaching Changi airport, saw many familiar faces departing for the same plane. Time keep ticking faster n faster and finally it's time for me to depart. Can see the sad faces of them, reluctant to see me off. Bid farewell to both the parent and giving Kim a hug before I walked into the departure hall. Can see that tears start to drip from my mum's face. She may seem to be a strong lady but deep inside she is a soft lady who is reluctant to see me off. Hopefully she can cope well.

I bid my final farewell before disappearing into the departure hall. My feeling of emptiness start to creep in as I slowing walking into the departure waiting area. I think I am going to miss them all.
