Yday was Day 4 and the 72nd hrs that testing could be attempted. Lil Shauna is feeling so much better. The fever didn't come back after the 1st day, the sore throat is so much better, she didn't sound like she is coughing excessively but still very nasal sounding. She had a lot more energy too and started finding things (in the room) to self-entertain.
Popo cooked us porridge and we had lunch together - us at the dining table and Lil Shauna on WhatsApp call. She was hoping against all hopes that she would be tested -ve so that she could join us in sending Boo off at the airport.
Did she? No lah! Her symptoms are still so obvious, I don't see how she could be -ve. I saw her stared intently at the kit and went "oh sh*t". Lol. The T line appeared strong and clear the moment the solution reaches the T slot. Hohoho.
It was a long way from our home to the airport. We headed direct after Zaky's tuition and arrived at 5ish for dinner at Jewel. It was our 2nd visit to Jewel ever and saw the iconic radio tower, joking how every kid must draw the radio tower when asked to draw Changi Airport. Hoho. It still applies now.
The Chan family arrived at the airport at 7ish. There was enough time for coffee while the little ones run around at the airport. I was so glad that the airport wasn't crowded and there was plenty of space bcos the kids were definitely nuisances. The running gang.
What were the 2 teenager girls doing? Lil Shauna asked me to video call Boo the moment Boo was available. So while the adults chatted physically, so did the girls.
Lil Shauna managed to take a group photo with them.
All thanks to technology.
She was in the kids' group photo as well. Hahaha.
We said the final goodbyes, took plenty of pictures and hugs.
Before the Chan Family crossed the immigration.
Lil Shauna got to witness all these via the WhatsApp call. I didn't feel so sad at 1st but also felt like tearing seeing it through the girls' eyes. It is such great blessings that our kids have also forged such strong friendships, just like their mummies. Maybe bcos the adults can always arrange to travel and meet but it felt like a much longer goodbye for the girls since that freedom is not their call.
We left after the Chan Family entered the immigration. All the best to them in their new adventure! We will meet again when they are back for holidays or maybe one day, we will visit them in the 羊 meh meh land.
