DMZ

Went down to London with HF to visit my cousins from April 19th to 23rd. Daryl, who was also visiting London from Bad Mergentheim, Germany, as grown up a lot to my surprise. The last I saw/met him was on grandpa's funeral 10 or 11 years ago. He's now 21 yrs old.

His side of family has the longest name in our entire family; bearing a middle name. Athough the many number of years of absence, we all were quick to break the ice and got along well and quickly. I would attribute this outcome to, perhaps, our family name in which we all share--Teoh (Zhang).

Such a gentleman that he is, I'm sure he has what it takes to face the challenges imposed by life itself. Learnt that later this year he will be serving in the Singapore's national service.

He will be in London or around England till this Sunday. I hope he finds what he's looking for. It has been a good time together, at long last!
