I've been deprived of the internet for close to 2 weeks due to the inefficient workers here. But that doesn't matter. Aside from catching up with gossips, I'm glad I managed to hear some good news in months.

Ching, I'm so damn DAMN proud of you. I kinda guessed that SMU wouldn't be It for you and I was right. Was told to read your post and it honestly hurt to see you reject that offer you've been waiting for so long. But more importantly, it was worse to see you give up your perhaps, 15 years long childhood dream of becoming a vet. You worked hard for it and proved everyone wrong. I know I should be feeling ecstatic for my soon-to-be-NUS-Med-School-graduate cousin but it just isn't happening. I'll be honest with you. Not because I want you to join me in Perth but because it truly sucks to trade vet science (what you've always always wanted) with something which society deems as a prestigious degree. Not sure how I should continue this but my one regret now is the lack of time spent with you during the 2 weeks I was back. And with your upcoming hectic schedule and Mr Smelly Feet Curry's departure to the UK, I don't know when we'll be able to sit at mama's house and just joke and laugh like the old days. I miss you and as cliche as this might sound, I hope you'll only look forward even when things get tough, and not regret on the choices you've made.
