Barry left the country again after a brief 3 weeks stay in Singapore.

He left a few MSN messages for me before he went away, and SMSed me just before the flight took off.

I was so touched that I nearly teared.

He had helped me lots during his brief stay here with his optimism, and his lame jokes cracked me up endlessly.

And the tonic soup he brewed… simply awesome. I saw a side of my guy pals I never thought I would see.

Goodbye Uncle Barry! Bon Voyage.

Another person who has helped me lots through this period, is another *cough* Uncle(he is so gonna kill me) who is celebrating his BIG THREE ONE on Children’s Day.

D W, May you be happy always. And remember the 2 things that were told to you…

Happy birthday! I know I am a minute early, but I want to be the 1st one to wish you, you see!

And whee! As you review your past year, I hope you are counting the fact that 2(and a half) babes had brought you to sing karaoke as the greatest ‘achievement’ before you turned 31!
