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！

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar. It was to have many friends. That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times. Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely. I can easily identify who my best friends are.

Friends are essentially different from acquaintances. Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Grandfather Lee: YOUR vision, not mine!

Mr Lee (Kuan Yew) is a well-respected figure in my family. I shall take a picture of the biographies my parents have religiously bought some other day (maybe I should contribute by purchasing Hard Truths just to complete the collection). Anyone who studied Singapore history would respect him in some way or another. However, lately grandfather Lee seemed to be revealing his true self and not bothering much about how the current generation thinks about our society. Here is an article from New Nation, an online magazine I read. Former MM Lee Kuan Yew: The Singapore vision is your vision, not my vision. Pam Petite

I believe that a person's life experiences will largely influence how they behave & react in any given situation. I believe that I have become more optimistic nowadays. Thanks to: 1) God, 2) boyfriend & close / good friends, 3) inspirational & motivational books, These 3 things really played a huge role lately; especially this year. Personally, I am into the idea that one should eliminate anything that brings you down. I know that "eliminate" seems like a BIG word, what I'm trying to put across is, don't let anything come between you and your dreams. To being wealthy is genuinely 1 of my desire. It is the thought of being affluent & rich someday soon that keeps me going forward. In my opinion, becoming rich doesn't have to cost you anything.
