Christmas celebration

It's simple celebration at mum's house. Adults will buy presents to all the children. I also want to have presents for Xmas & so I have told them next Xmas we will pick one adult to buy a gift for him or her. We also want to merry & be happy just like the children !!

Out of Job soon

Papa, I just wanted to tell you I am being informed by Kodak in Oct that I am retrenched and last working day is 31Dec2008. I am very sad. I cried very hard inside the car when that day Lawrence pick me home.

But I will be fine very soon, yes, they are all waiting to see me not so depressed.

Cozy home

Shushuang has rented out her flat and moved in to live with mum and Jie. It has been a long time the house is bustled with so many people. With more people, mum can cook more effectively & she will not get disappointed when she sees leftovers like last time lesser people dining at home.

Duanting's family of 4 has also settled well in their new home at Sengkang Central. Finally, I see my this youngest brother having his own house. Dad will be very happy to see his son sprouted out to manage his family now....Yes, FINALLY !

New Addition

Today is also happy day for Shushuang。She has given birth this morning around 10plus am to a cute pretty gal called Kyla. We visited her this afternoon and it's very happy moment to see one new addition to the Neo family & Tan family.

Come every weekend, the whole house will be filled with children. Ya ya very noisy and mum always look displeased when the boys (Aston and Keith) are talking and playing loudly.

Golden Plan

This new plan works better for us. Instead of waiting around 10days for dad, the temple new structure has shorted to 4 days and we have managed to chose Aug11 to talk to dad. As this is the last year of praying to dad in the temple, we hope all the family members including the bigger kids can be around, so that dad can see all of us. Then of course, if we can afford, we will continue chao1 du4 for him next yr & many many yrs.

农历六月初十一

Actually it's 3rd year anniversary, considered a big event. Is 2nd year but we are doing as 3rd yr according to chinese tradition.

Been many mths already since anyone dreamt of dad or dad appear in our dreams. Yes, he has died already, everyone knows, everyone must accept by now, because whatver what is doing now he is something we will never know and can't help him just like when he's alive. We can only 天天想念，不断卦念 和 永远怀念。 These 想念，卦念 ，怀念 will turn to reality if dad appear in our dreams and let us know his well being.

Finally..this chance was given to my youngest sister. She sms to us three days back..
"I finally dreamt of Dad last nite. I so thrilled n found my half pillow wet this morning. Dad hold 2 stacks of $$ n he give me $50 when I asked for it then I give him back $30 then he give me $5. He didn't talk to me, only smile at me. Really miss him. This sun is Dad's death anniversary".
My brother replied " So gd ! I never dream of him yet.
My sister in law replied " Ya..always miss him very much..whenever saw a man of his built..will always remind me of him. Swallowing my tears also.

Everyone reached home today for the praying. The two little boys pray to 外公- one says 外公,来吃饭。The younger one says 外公, I love you. 小小年纪的他们还蛮懂事的。

父亲节

我尽量用华语写，这样爸爸才会读，就好像以前在家阅读报子。妈妈也能读。大家不能够在今天到庙“探望”爸爸，我们几个上星期去探望了，今早我们同妈妈与大姑买了猪杂汤给爸爸吃。

EuroCup 2008

今天没上班，拿了一天假去逛逛。正当在选 Euro 2008 Tee shirts 时，想起爸爸！ 如果他在的话，我们一定会下注，想起来那是好难忘的乐趣呀！！！！！

70 Full Stop

As mighty as Da Bo can be, as strong as he can in his willpower to live, he after intense struggling for about 14hours, passed away peacefully at 205pm. The death time is almost like Dad's. Somehow some of them notice it. Da Bo will be cremated on May2nd at Mandai Columbarium.

大伯快不行了

很難過，非常難過。這是人生必經的過程。今天非常一幕了然。大伯從上星期五緊急入院，肺積水，變成呼吸困難也沒力氣説話。家人紛紛都到醫院探望他。 旁晚時非常緊急至到現在。醫生很清楚地告訴我們大伯已經很危險，只能維持几個小時。肺不夠氧气，因此堆积太多铒氧化碳，再加上呼吸管道很緊，所以呼吸更吃力. 醫生說沒救了，家人也必須接受。醫生的解释得到家人的同意鉒射痲痱給大伯減少呼吸困難然後走得輕松。現在連珠和小云會守在大伯身旁。

你好嗎 ?

Time flies fast. Next week is 清明節 and we will pray to late grandparents & also to dad. It's been 20 mths already and sometimes I do worry about what is dad doing now.
I wanted to mention something I learnt from my friends recently. I was stunned when I heard this & I cannot bear to tell this personally to my family. My friend told me the temperature in the Mandai crematory is 1000degree celcius and this has to be so high to ensure it melts the entire corpse. I was shivering and tears near to rolling down when she told me. This is a painful fact to know.

Feel so sad not able to know your well being. So now on every sunday when I am at home, I pray and talk to you and ask you to take care and bless us. Did you receive my prayers ?

Colorful houses

Did you all notice the new accessories I create ? Ya..the tickerfactory with the colorful houses design. I specially chose this design becos I want dad to live in many many nice houses in the other world. He wanted to live in landed property when he was around but not given a chance because he was poor and could not wait for his children to provide him big house. This ticker also remind us to remember dad as long as we can and as long as we want.

大伯

This morning we saw him at AMK around SBCC. I walked towards him and pass him $20. He look quite ok and carry an umbrella and I supposed he need it to walk. He also look tired while we chat and he took out his repiratory inhaler to his nose to breathe. So heartpain when I saw this. So he is relying on this now.

Chemo Timetable

These few days while searching some files on my laptop, I spotted this timetable which I created for us to plan our leave bring dad for his 1st chemo schedule for 18 times. This timetable is really useful to us at that time, it fosters family co-operation, committment and responsibility. He's gone for about 18mths ago but this file will stay forever in my laptop.
