*I will first give the eulogy in English then in Mandarin. 我会先用英语，然后再用华语。*
Thank you everyone for making time to attend this evening's service. We are immensely grateful for the love and words of comfort poured out during this time of bereavement. Special thanks to Aunty Shui Qing, Uncle Jia Bao, Pastor Chen, Pastor Mao and brothers & sisters-in-Christ from St Andrew's Community Chapel & Bedok Lutheran Church who has been journeying and praying with us.
If you ask me who my dad is, he is a compassionate, resilient, kind and gentle person who loves animals.
My dad was 1 of the first people who shared with me who Jesus is. He said, there was this very good man, who did not sin but died for everyone's sin. That was before my family and I became believers.
As a child, my dad used to travel quite frequently for work. I remember that during 1 of his trips, he bought a toddler size doll for me. We used to have a fish tank with various fish and I remember how I was so intrigued watching them.
When I was in primary school, my dad used to trail behind my best friend and I when we hanged out.
When I was in secondary 4, my parents got for me my first pet dog, Happy, and my dad was the main caregiver. My dad was very devoted in caring for Happy and we had many fond memories.
I enjoyed the stories that my dad shared about the earlier half of his life. They were stories of his resilience and some of them created my worldview and I would very much want to pass it down to the next generation.
God has been so good to extend my father's life on earth as we were as a family unprepared for him to leave this world at the start of this year. As my dad passed away on 28th June at 9.49pm, we all experienced peace as everyone, including my son managed to see him for the last time.
I often marvelled at how amazing it is to have a father who is 50 years older than I am. I am glad that God chose my dad to be my dad and I wouldn't have it any other way. We love you Baba and we shall meet you again!
谢谢大家抽出宝贵的时间来到今晚的追思礼拜。我们非常感恩有那么多关心我们的人。愿神祝福你们！我们也要特别地感谢Aunty水清，Uncle嘉葆，陈牧师和毛传道，以及St Andrew's Community Chapel和Bedok Lutheran Church主内的弟兄姐妹为我们祷告。
如果你问我爸爸是谁，他是一个富有同情心、有坚强的性格、善良和温柔的人，热爱动物。
我父亲是最早与我分享耶稣是谁的人之一。 他说，有一个非常好的人，他没有犯罪，而是为每个人的罪而死。 那时，我一家人还没信主。
小时候，父亲因为工作的需要经常出差。 我记得在他的一次旅行中，他给我买了一个蹒跚学步的娃娃。 我们曾经有一个鱼缸，里面有各种各样的鱼，我记得我是如何对它们产生兴趣的。
当我上小学的时候，我和我最好的朋友出去玩的时候，我爸爸经常跟在我身后。
在我上中四的时候，我的父母给我买了我的第一只宠物狗，Happy，我爸爸是主要的看护人。 我爸爸非常专注于照顾Happy，我们有很多美好的回忆。
我喜欢我父亲分享关于他前半生的故事。 它们是关于他的坚强的性格的故事，其中一些创造了我的世界观，我非常想把它传给下一代。
上帝一直很好地延长了我父亲在世上的生命，因为我们全家都没有准备好让他在今年年初离开这个世界。 当我父亲于 6 月 28 日晚上 9 点 49 分去世时，我们所有人都感到很平静，包括我儿子在内的每个人都设法最后一次见到他。
我经常惊叹有一个比我大 50 岁的父亲是多么了不起。 我很欣慰上帝选择我爸爸做我的爸爸。我们爱您！我们会在天上团聚！
