My Norwegian girl Eva Marie (left), with her brilliant green eyes and cute blond hair, flew back to Norway for good last night.

I woke up this morning and got a surprise sms from her mum, who msged me at 1am just before they flew off.

I’m leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when i’ll be back again. Thanks for all the great memories in Singapore. Love, Eva Jentoft and the kids.

And I replied, in tune with the song:

So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you’ll wait for me. Will always treasure your family’s warmth and friendship, and Eva Marie’s cheerfulness and hugs. Take care! Feel free to email me. Much love, Miss Tan.

It’s sad when these kids go back to their homeland. But it’s great to keep in touch. I’m glad that I got to know them, even though it was only for 6 months this year :)
