Today is the day. The day he pledged himself to protect this small island we are on. The day that will change him into a soilder. It should be a joyous day because my di is going to be transformed into a real man! Somehow, those tears just got me and I started crying when I was on the bus, on our way to Tekong. I held back the tears but not for long and I started crying when we had our lunch at the cookhouse.
Although I don't spend much time with my brother, like hanging out with him or things like that, we are still very bonded in a very special way. Siblings, we will always be! He will always be my small brother who used to follow me when we were still toddlers. He will always be there to advise me on things when we get older. He always be there to help me when I am in trouble. He will share all those exciting experiences he has for his photoshoot sessions and also those chilling out places he has been to. Although he didn't show his care explicitly but I know he cares for me and the family. Though I never say it out, but I really want to tell him that I miss him a lot! Not only me, mommy cried when she got home! Think daddy is missing him right now too..
I am worried that he is not able to adapt so fast to army life. I am worried that he is not able to befriend more buddies there because he is the introvert sort. I am worried that he cannot take care of himself. I am worried that he is homesick. I am worried that he will suppress his feelings in him.
I really miss my di a lot now! I just can't wait for the day that he can book out!
10.50pm: My brother called juz now!! Toked to him and get to know that he is settling well with his bunk mates! Sigh of relief to hear that piece of good news! Mommy's eyes were red after answering my di's phone call! She must have missed him even more than me! Wondering if he can sleep tonite! May the good Lord bless my brother always!
Am sad to see my dar dar so stressed up!
