 thank you,kaka! she has been here since she was just 17years old. just imagine a young girl who came here to another totally different country, trying to earn some money for her family. i believe she used to work in different places before, may it be a maid or a factory worker, working at such a young age not for herself is indeed hard on her. but she must work on in order to live a better life next time. finally she met us. i was only 5 years old then. but i could still remember how she first came in with her agent. she smiled at me, i could only smile back not knowing how she will change my life in the next 14years. as the agent was talking to my parents, she fed me my dinner and she talked to me,played with me. i was so happy about this new sister...someone to send and fetch me home from my primary school, someone to take care of me, someone who can play with me. i remember how mischievous i tend to get when i was young. despite that, she always thought of my well-being first. i remember going somewhere else after school one day,and when she couldn't find me, like a sister, she was so worried and even cried. instead of reprimanding me, she was relieved and just glad to see me. and like any brother would feel, guilt. as a kid, she used to bring me to places which my parents or brother were too busy to bring me, she brought me to pasar malams, bedok interchanges and even tampines mall. even though these places are so simple and near, for a 7-8 yr old kid, it meant alot. and i remember how i used to pester her to take me to those pasar malam rides, and very often she would and then wait patiently till my ride's over. as the years passed,i grew up to be who i am today. the sucky thing about growing up is that, you tend to feel more insensitive towards close ones around you. you take them for granted sometimes. of course i have already regarded my maid as a part of my family. a sister who i called kaka all the time. i began to think that she will be around all the time. we began to talk lesser and lesser, yet regarding each other to be there forever. in a way, our bonds grew stronger yet we drifted farther. 14 years have passed since she first walk through my door,and now it's time for her to leave. she's 31 years old now, having saved enough money to spend her whole life in comfort, hoping to get married and live a good life with her family. she has given all of her prime years to us, all her 20s to take care of me, nurturing me to the person i am today. i am sure she would have want me to spend my prime years on her behalf too, being a responsible and good man, living my life happily to the fullest. i am sure i will not be able to be the same as i am now if not for my kaka. she will always remain as a member of the family no matter what, she will always be my kaka who guide me through my growing years, she will always be a major role in my life story. i will always remember her. i do hope we are able to keep in contact with each other and maybe see each other next time when we have the opportunity. 14 precious years of her prime......i know it cannot be gratified with just 'thank you', i wish i could have done more. but still thank you so much kaka, for these 14 years. i hope you are able to get married to a good man and live your life in comfort, having a warm family of your own. thank you kaka, we will miss you!
