The lovely days in Toronto

Hi all,

as mentioned, i spent my thanksgiving in Toronto, Canada with my relatives. My main purpose in going to Toronto was to visit my grandparents as well as my uncle. Frankly, apart from the short 3 days in August, it has been more than 16 years since i've met my uncle, my auntie as well as my grandpa. My grandma visited Singapore 4 years ago and that was the last time i met them.

I have to thank my Uncle Tom (see pic below) for sponsoring my return air tickets between Toronto and Philadelphia. It was one of the best gifts ever as it really gave me a chance to meet up with my "long lost" relatives.

Over the past 4 days, I spent every night chatting with Uncle Tom. It was really crazy how we could still bond and talk about everything in life even though the last and one of the very few times i met him i was just when I was a 9 year old boy.

This trip really meant a lot to me. I felt family love for the first time since i left Singapore. It was also really touching that I could love them so much although I have not really met them much in my life. Well, I guess this is a good starting point for the family to come together. Although my relatives are spread all over at the 2 ends of the world, I really look forward to the day that we can spend quality time together as a family.
