Thank God for an awesome week in Korea!

The weather was merciful to us, the food was yummy (but some was yucky too!) & though we had limited time to shop (booo!!!), i'd say the trip was good on the whole. If you'd ask me about one thing that I've enjoyed most out of this trip, it would that of the time spent bonding with my siblings.

All these years, I grew up and spend most of my time with my sister, and even though we have an age gap of 7 years, communication was never a problem- In fact, we are so much closer than some siblings who are like 2-4 years apart? Bro's older than me by an entire 12 years, and hence, we don't really get t spend much of our time together, okay maybe we did, but time spent was super short cause he flew off to UK to complete his degree and masters overseas shortly after he ORD-ed, then got married when he came back n now he has little Theone to take care of for the rest of his life.

But yknow what? I am just very thankful for the opportunity for us to bond! Didn't expect this from the trip though..... I actually cried during one of the nights when brother returned back to his room after spending quality time with me and my sister watching cartoon and enjoying our yummy room service pancakes and eggs! There's this one thing I would remember even when I die... something he randomly vomitted out when we were spending time queueing up for one of our rides at the theme park, "The reason why I don't get to spend much time with you is because when you were growing up, I have to serve the nation."

It might mean nothing to you, but to me, it felt as though all these while, I haven't been finding opportunities to spend more time with him to understand him better and to keep the bond closer, whenever I can. It takes two hands to clap right? So i guess it was also my fault that we're not that close anymore. I do miss the times when my brother would cycle me to my tuition teacher's place, bring me out to play soccer with him and bugged me to be his goal keeper. Sigh.... sometimes I really wish he hadn't got married, so the three of us could still spend more time together, relieving the good old days of our childhood. I know I'm selfish.... but :(

Nonetheless, am still happy to be able to relieve such days with em' during the trip.

Times when we played three-person CHIKOPA on the bus and plane, laugh at the loser, think about the chicken rice and wanton mee back here because we didn't enjoy the food there, play "who's the tubby 3 game", take turns to carry and amuse Theone and times when we enjoy good food together and steal each other's food.

I am just stoked to have both of you as my siblings. Thank you for growing up with me, Jie & Kor.

With lots of love :')
