Notti, this page is specially for you!
Where do i start? Let me rewind my memories. I get to know notti after i apply for BTO at punggol residences. Register myself in Punggol forum, from then notti came into our lives. My hubby and i alway will meet up with the nottis(Nottiboy and Jen), to chit chat, eat ice kachang etc...
Back than nottis keep saying they are plannig to go Australia. Jen is a PR, notti wanted to get Australian PR too. Actually we miss them. We always do. We knew once they go there, they will not want to come back to Singapore. They will eventually settle down in Australia.
Many people gives nottis many advices. Of course, selfishly, we dont wish them to go.....In fact, my hubby was the 1st to discourage him haha. When notti ask me, i was in a dilemma too. I dont wish him to go, a selfish side of me wanted to discourage him. If he goes, i will definitely miss him. I feel i will loss a very good friend, a good future neighbour. I dont wish to see him leave Singapore. Afterall, nowadays, it's not easy to find a true good friend.
In the end i encouraged him, albeit reluctantly. Why? I know he can do it. It's his wish and Jen's wish too. I feel he should give it a try, success or fail. Life is too short for regret. I shall not stop him for my own self interest.
It has been 5 months since he stepped into Australia, his step wasnt easy. No matter how many obstacles he faced, 'giving in' never crosses his mind. Definitely, i feel very proud of him and Jen.
Both face giants of life, jen even give birth to Baby Albany in Australia. How much courage must they have to overcome all these? Can you imagine?
When you feel like giving up, ask yourself why you hold on in the 1st place.
Maggie, thank you for writing about me. It's so strange to read a post written about us actually haha.
