Empty nest syndrome

Ok, Ok....I've messed up again. Forgot to publish my post...I was wondering how come I keep seeing only 2 of my previous postings. Dinosaur, dinosaur....

Seng has left for Newcastle exactly a week from today. Surprisingly, it was not as painful as I thought....unlike the time Duke went off to Adelaide. Took me 1 full week to get over the emptiness. Poor Ee-Ee got the brunt of it. I remembered when she text me that night Boy flew off, the poor girl had to endure at least an hour of my long messages of woe and sadness. I only stopped when she said I was making her cry! She's such a dear...so far away and still have to console me.

I guess this time round the daily phone calls helped (how come I never thought about doing the same when Boy left???). Good move........until I get the phone bill at month end, that is. I'll have another kind of pain then! But seriously, having Ian with me last Monday really helped. With all the incessant "ee ma ma" questions and activities, there was really no time to mope and feel sad. Thanks Ben and Ping for letting me "adopt" him for a day. Boy has been great too. It must be tough for him to squeeze out from his busy schedules to spend some quality time with me. Really means a lot to me.

It's nice to know Seng's settling in well with his friends. Little bumps here and there (including something of the nocturnal kind) but generally smooth going. Prayers work! Now waiting for his internet to be connected so that we can go into proper and cheaper mode of communication. Apparently his room mates told him that the internet has been down for 2 weeks and nobody knew why. So much for UK technology. Can't wait to see photos of his apartment and surroundings.

Just a few days more and I can be spared of sending synopsis of the Ka Ho Yuet Yuen series. The series will be ending soon. Whew! I was beginning to feel like I was doing homework..: )
