Eulogy for Dad (Funeral Service)

爸爸，我记得您跟我分享了很多关于您人生的故事。

两个故事让我印象深刻：

(1) 无论贫富，我们终将离开这个世界。保持谦虚，努力工作。

(2) 拥有强大的社交网络很重要。尽可能提供帮助，并乐于接受帮助。

当我思考今天的颂词，我的脑海里浮现了很多美好的回忆…… 例如：

- 您煮的汤

- 您对鱼和烤肉菜肴的喜爱

- 我们和Happy一起去公园散步

- 小时候，我们全家去云顶高原游玩

- 我们在 2019 年 3 月到香港家庭旅行

- 每当您看到您的孙子恺恩的时候，您是多么的喜乐，满脸笑容

- 您对我的信任

- 与妈咪结婚 53 年的美好时光

我们非常想念您，但我们知道我们将在天堂团聚。我们为您的生命感谢上帝，您将永远活在我们心中。

爸爸，您走了，我，妈咪，Nat和恺恩会继续走完世上的路。我们在天上见！

Honouring Mr Lee Kuan Yew

23 Mar 2015: While getting ready for work, Nat told me that Mr Lee Kuan Yew has passed on. I didn't expect the multitude of sadness that followed. Found out that Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong would be addressing Singaporeans on his father's death at 8am and my heart went out to him. As I was watching his address, I am reminded that no matter who he is, he is still his father's son. When I see the profile and cover pictures of many of my friends changed into mono colours, I see unity and appreciation. By human standards perhaps we may debate about whether he is a good leader, but I believe he was called to serve with the others when Singapore really needed one. RIP Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Stubbles + Dreadlocks = My Kinda Guy as at 21st Dec '09 I guess this statement is pretty true. It took me about 3-4 years to decide to tell him that I still love him... Telling him was just to let him know my feelings towards him... Months later we got together, it felt strange because I thought fate has departed from us. Destiny must have heard my cry and let me have a second go at this love. Unfortunately, now we're once again apart from each other. Sometimes I felt that I held on to the memories with him so tight because he was my first love. Many times I have thought myself to be a fool and felt that things have been a little unfair. He was my dream guy and I don't think I was ever his dream girl. After all, I was not his first love. Moreover, I don't have much to offer. Day after day, I watch memories play over my brain's eye, uncertain to feel remorseful or to tell myself to move on... Yeap, I know it has been a while now. God just help me. Pam Petite

A Fall

Dear Blog, I just had a fall while running in my flat-heeled office shoes. I didn't feel embarrassed dropping flat on the floor. Instead, I felt a growing pain from both my knees. My brain signaled for my legs to walk and soon I reached my destination with blood-crying knees. Why was I so careless? Was browsing through my past entries, time has passed and well, a lot more to improve on in my life. Occasionally, I wish to say, be contented. However, I can't. Because it simply is not good enough. I guess, that's what a twenty something should be contemplating. After all, only about a quarter of our lives is gone. Had been playing RISK board game with my honey on 2 consecutive Sundays. This game taught me a couple of lessons:- (a) Nobody is declared the winner unless the game ceases, by either party surrendering or by conquering the lands of your opponent; (b) Even if you are losing huge armies, it doesn't mean you are the loser; (small can fight big) (c) Take it easy! I...
