Went to the airport just now to send my brother off. He'll be in Perth to continue his studies. Sigh... I don't know, my mind is now jumbled up, but I'm feeling quite empty inside. I'm gonna miss him; don't know when I'm going to see him again. We went to the airport rather early, fortunately. Because 5 minutes after we had gone, my maid called and said my brother had left his wallet behind. Thank goodness she called because it was only then that he discovered he had also left his laptop behind. I can't imagine if my maid hadn't called. Then my bro will be in Perth, without a laptop. I think my mum will be extremely extremely furious. That's just like him, always so laid-back and so last-minute. My mum and brother checked in pretty early, so we had a lot of time to spare at the airport. A few of his friends and sunday school classmates (Kimberly, Gilly, Xiao En) were there as well, but then they arrived quite late, so my mum was like kind of rushing him haha. Gilly and Xiao En were like super late (like 15 min before the plane was supposed to take off). By then, my bro had gone in, so I had to call my mum to ask him to come out again haha. When he waved and disappeared from our view, I guess I didn't really realize that I wouldn't be seeing him again in such a long time. Even now, the realisation hasn't really sunk in yet. But soon enough, I'm sure I'm going to miss the times spent talking crap to him, being lame and arguing/insulting about the other's supported soccer teams.
Anyway, I'm definitely going to go to my aunt's house to watch Australian Open. Agassi vs Federer tomorrow, that's one match not to be missed. I keep on telling my mum that it'd be better if we have cable at home, so that I won't always have to go to my aunt's house to watch anything that's on cable, and be of inconvenience to my cousin. But my mum just won't listen.
I've finally gotten myself a diary. Now I can at least write down stuff that I can't possibly blog.
