For many years, I've always felt that my presence in Gsh was mainly for those I've established a closer and deeper relationship with, I've always felt that it isn't within my ability even if I had wanted to, to spend time with everyone and build relationships with every child in the home. It's true, it really isn't quite possible; but this year, i saw things in a relatively different perspective. 

I saw how simple conversations can make a difference, how goofing around can help break down walls, how spending quality time/writing cards are efforts that will never go down the drain, and definitely the power of a selfie stick and apps like boomerang 😂

This year, instead of telling them that I love them, I thanked them for loving me. I told them honestly and sincerely that I can't spend equal time with everyone in the home, but I'd want to spend time with them too, no matter how short. 

To Rachael, thank you for being the little Sister I've never had, I enjoyed our chats and prayer in the room, and am so blessed to be a part of your journey as you grow and mature into an amazing young lady. I'll tell you again and again, that Jie Anne sees the beauty in you, both inside and out, never let anyone or anything make you feel otherwise. I love you 🙆🏻

To Hannah, for showering me with your love throughout this trip (except when there was sushi and carrom 😂) with the random heart emoticons and handwritten letter. With you, Jie Anne had my share of heartbreaks and heartaches, but it's also with you, I feel and receive so much love. Wished I had more time with you, really. You'll always be my Hannah banana ⛄️ 

To Bryan, my man in Klang (yes he wouldn't ditch me for sushi, but then again he doesn't like sushi hahaha). I can only wish that in a year's time, you'd still give me hugs upon request 😂 you are such a joy and so fun to be around, I'll be back... to wipe the sweat off your nose 😂

To Thomas, you surprised me with a gift on my last day this trip, and I'm Glad I lugged it home even though it took up a quarter of the luggage. Though you don't say much, I know you know and feel deeply. Thank you for letting me in, into your world 😊

And to Jeremy, for 5 days of improper sleep, looking out for the Chua's, and for being you, thank you. You inspire me, with your kindness, patience, selflessness and incredibly big heart. (Oh and amazing memory 👍🏼) ⛄️

From now till the next time I'll see all of you, I'll keep the "I love you 100%", "I love you till inifity", "this, for you" and "Jie Anne"s close to my heart.  

I love all of you, very very much. And thank you for loving me too. ☺️
