Gave Jae Han a farewell dinner last Sunday. He’s really a big boy now. He’ll be 19 years old on Dec 29. This Saturday, he will fly off to further his studies in Accounting & Finance at the University of York. At first I thought one of his parents will accompany to see him settle down but I was completely wrong. He insists he travels with a classmate from HELP Institute who is pursuing an Economic Course at the same school. His plane will transit at Abu Dhabi. MAS is more expensive and it does not fly direct to Manchester where both will board a train (the train station is in the airport complex) to York.
As a fleshy he is allowed accommodation in the hostel. He wills on single occupancy; complete with a bathroom, but shares with the others the living room and kitchen. There is no restriction leaving campus anytime so obtaining food from outside is not a problem although he can opt to include meals from the canteen.
According to his mother, he has made all arrangement himself, starting with the application for courses, accommodation to his traveling plans. His parents just have to finance his course.
Jae Han has always been an independent kid. When his parents were at work, he grew up with his little brother under the guidance of his Filipino maid. Living a pampered life, he did not even know how to make a mug of milo until my mother reasoned he ought to learn to do so. Now, he does know how to cook a meal of Maggi mee.
Football is his passion and Manchester United’s Paul Scholes is his favorite. Jae Han loves music and he introduced me to Ares, where he downloaded his favorite songs. As long as he does not get into trouble, he has the liberty to lead a life he chooses.
His mother is the discipliner and she knows when and how to steer him back to course. His father, due to his work commitment is often away. He is more resilient and often weak to Jae Han’s ‘nagging’. Jae Han gets what he wants probably because his parents are comfortably capable to meet his requests.
My mum dotes on him and he has great respect for her. In his quiet manner, he can sit in a group and yet you feel he is not among you. Not that he is in a world of his own but he is more an observer than a participant. He will be good in his field for he has the patience and a calm personality to analyze a situation.
His guardian angel will have to guide him, protect him and take care of him for he is so far from us.
