Last Sunday was Minmin day! We didn’t get to see her in January, so Abang and I were both looking forward to it. She’d grown since the last time we saw her. Still as cute and adorable! She came to give me a hug once she saw me. Love this feeling! Hope she misses us as much as we miss her.

To our sweetest girl Min,

It’s been 203 long and miserable days since we saw you. If only you know how much pain and misses these days have brought to Ayah and Mummy. We wrote you a letter a month ago, and till today, we have not been given any chance to see you at all.

You and your birthday cake in 2007

Some of you must be wondering who Minmin is. If I were to tell the whole story, it’ll probably take me 4 years to do it. So I’m going to sum it up here within 30 mins or more (of typing).

The first time I met Minmin was 4 years ago. She was 2 and still so small and wasn’t aware of the things happening around her. I remember that first day, she cried when I tried to get close to her. She refused to let me carry her. It was hard, for her and for me. But I knew our love will grow as time goes by.

It had been a very tough period from then, up till today. Even though the problem lies with the woman’s side, the loop-sided law still refuses to see things at the bigger picture. Instead of allowing the well educated, stable income and better living that the father can provide, Minmin had to follow the woman. It was painful for him. But there’s nothing much he could do at that point.

Its been more than 2 months since we last saw her. We miss her very much. We have always been hoping for a call, from Wed through Fri, that’ll bring some hope for us. Due to the law that’s loop-sided, there wasn’t much we could do. And for the past 2 months, there wasn’t any call that gave us a slight chance of hope.

When Abang told me that we’ll be seeing her this week for a short 6 hours, I started planning how to spend these precious hours with her, cos we never know when we’ll get to see her the next time. And this important plan was almost blown away by the inflexibility of some big organization.

While we were driving up to our meeting point, Abang’s phone rang. My heart stopped. Cos this had happened too many times. And it had always been bad news for us. Alas, it wasn’t what we’d expected. We sighed a sign of relief. We waited for her arrival in front of Yishun 10 at 12pm sharp. After 10 minutes, there wasn’t any sight of her. I started to get worried. When I was about to get Abang to call that woman, I saw a familiar face. One which I’d missed for the past 2 months. I smiled. She has lost some weight and looks even sweeter and lovelier than ever. We united. Finally.

The day passed too fast. We played and enjoyed our precious 6 hours together. Never once I let her out of my sight. I was worried that she would have forgotten about me. But we bonded just like before. I know she love us as much as we love her. The 6 hours was filled with laughter, giggles, hundreds of photos, great time, hugs and kisses. I can still hear her laughter in my ears.

She brightens up our life. Today. And I hope one day, it’ll be everyday.

We love you Minmin!

Since she likes the moving belt so much, we’ve decided to bring her back once more! This time was to the outlet at Yishun.

She kept wanting to drink the water without the straw. And it ended up with a pretty wet situation. With just an innocent smile from our love and the anger just simply vanished.

Finally get to see minmin! This time we’ve decided to bring her to J8′s Sakae Sushi for lunch. It was her first visit to the place and she was very amazed by the moving belt and the chopsticks! She’s so adorable!
