A visit to dear kaima Joanna

We are going to Adelaide to visit kaima Joanna tomorrow. It has been a year since Ashley last saw her. She left for Adelaide when Ashley was 2 months plus to further her studies. Yeah, Joanna is a single, young, gorgeous and happening kaima. Many people were surprised when I told them that Ashley's kaima is a mid twenties hottie. "Oh, I thought she would be much older" was the normal comment I get. (Joanna is gonna jump when she reads this). But I couldn't have ask for a better kaima than Joanna.

I met Joanna in Astro's Health and Safety week campaign. Our companies were involved in the exhibition and her booth was facing mine. We had quite alot of free time in between and some how we started talking. One thing led to another and soon we were hanging out quite often. Our favourite place was Alamanda Putrajaya. We found out that we have so much in common- our fathers are estate managers, our taste for fashion, religion & principles etc. Yeah, she is a kindred spirit (we love Anne of the Green Gables) and before long we were calling each other bosom buddies. Joanna was very involved in Ashley since the beginning. She would come along for the monthly check up and was so excited when she saw Ashley in the ultrasound. She was there the night I was admitted for the delivery and she was there again in the morning when Ashley was born. She came to visit every night while I was still in hospital and she came to visit when we were back home. She even changed her diapers!

So our move to Australia was rather timely. At least we can still visit Joanna more often and vice versa. Joanna has Ashley's vacation planned out for the next 10 years- teaching her how to surf, look out for leng chai, self defense, shopping spree etc.

Looking back, it is amazing how God has planned for our paths to cross since the beginning. We are truly blessed to have a bosom buddy and a kaima like you. The Joan in Ashley's name is dedicated to you Joanna. Thank you for loving her.
