send-off for norhana, bimaljit, diana and veni

as was expected, i was at changi international airport terminal 2 to see them off to new jersey, usa. i had made up my mind the night before to go to the airport but that morning i thought i had to abort the idea because ida wanted me to drive her to college. subsequently, she changed her mind about doing self study in her college.

ramesh had called me earlier in the morning to get information on the flight and flight time. so, i knew that there would be at least one other colleague at the airport to see them off. i did not expect the crowd of well-wishers. mdm lim, ms winders, jenmeet, jameela and normala were also there. jenmeet was there with her son and maid; normala's family was there; and jameela's family too. diana's parents had driven her there and they left before my arrival at the airport.

there was a bit of display of emotion at the airport. norhana's two girls were in tears and norhana's eyes were also wet. i told norhana that she ought to travel more often.
