I wish I can tell you I miss u very much..

Throughout the past few days, 2 ppl have been in my mind. I wasn't sure why I suddenly thought of them, but when it came into my mind, I feel this urge of wanting to see them again.

They're a lovely couple. A couple who watched me grow up. A couple who treated me like their own, and whom I was very close to when I was young.

I think the first time I met them was when I was 9. They were Dad's business friends, but with time, our family got really close to them and going out together wasn't because of business anymore.

Auntie Rosie and Uncle Abed lived in Singapore for quite a long time. When I was little, I used to love going out with them. Auntie Rosie always had that lovely smile which I'll always remember. Uncle Abed's the handsome Lebanese who always had a cigar in his mouth. I used to get so amused with his cigar that I'll always pester him to let me play with the casing. Frederick and I used to sing and tell them jokes all the time, and I'm sure they loved us a lot. They were also the first couple whom we felt comfortable going out with without our parents. Everytime they were around, it was fun guaranteed. And because Aunt Rosie's rich and fussy, we never had to worry about going to somewhere off standard. It's always fancy restaurants, hotels, boutiques, etc. Presents from them were always nice too. I remember them buying me something very pretty every year during my birthday, or sending me a beautiful card if they're not in Singapore.

I can't remember when was the last time I saw them. Sec 4 perhaps. Dad brought me to Dubai with him when he had to go to Yemen for meetings. We stopped by for a few days to say Hi. I saw my old poodle. His name's Goodies. Goodies' got a daughter called Jetaime, but he died a few years ago already. I was treated so so so well in Dubai. The hotel they booked was super posh, I was driven ard all the time, I was always offered loads of food during every meal and even when I was rotting in their house in the day. Dad sometimes go off with Uncle Abed to the office, while I'll stay ard with Aunt Rosie. She'll then plan fun activities for me, so that I won't be bored. She'll call Jade (her nephew...damn handsome manz) along to play with me..we'll go to the beach and jump over sea waves together...go swimming...have delicious meals in hotels..and not forgetting shopping. It's even more fun when Auntie Haneen comes along..haha..another very classy lady. I guess I can just go on and on and on about the fun times I had with them.

I asked Mum if she knew where they are now. Many years back, not very long after I left Dubai, Dad went to Dubai with an intention to visit them while on a meeting. And he heard that they're divorced. Things got very bad for them...and somehow they went bankrupt. Uncle Abed got into a lot of debts and just ran away. No one really knows where he is now...but Mum said he probably ran to Canada. He never called us anymore. It's really sad isn't it?

He owed Dad a lot of money, but I'm sure Dad wasn't expecting him to pay it back. He was in such a desperate situation, and being so close...we had to try to save him. I was telling Mum I'm wondering what he's doing now, and he must be too shy to face us, tt's why he didn't contact us anymore. Uncle Abed will never disregard the ties we had, and he must be feeling really sad that he can't contact us. I'm very sure he misses us like how we miss him, and I was telling Mum that maybe one day, he'll just come back to Singapore and give us a surprise visit..but when will that be? Will there be such a day? When I was telling Mum that, I had this urge to wanna go find him. I wanna know how he is.

Aunt Rosie's still in Dubai, working. She isn't having a very good time either. I think Dad hasn't been in touch with her for some time too. I wonder if life's got better for her compared to before. I miss her very much, and Mum said if I want, I can go visit her in Dubai. I think I will...either before graduation or straight after graduation. In fact, if I haven't got myself booked in SIA yet, I might really fly to Dubai during the summer to stay for a while before going back to Singapore. I haven't seen her for years...and don't know why...I feel that I have just so so so much to tell her. She's just like a Mum to me. Mum was saying Aunt Rosie will be extremely happy to see me after all these years... :) Will she?

Sigh..if only she's here...I'll wanna tell her that I really miss her and Uncle Abed very much, and I have not forgotten the days of them being in Singapore. It's probably one of the best times in my childhood.
