Year End...

Yet another year coming close to its end (again). Dad's 1st anniversary coming just around the corner.

One simply does not get over such loss; every once in a while, memories of Mom and Dad still haunt me.

Just the other day, I woke up from bed, and remembered how Mom used to get out from lying on the couch in the house when I visited. She never slept much at night, but always caught up with her sleep in the day time, downstairs on the couch. I remember how her hair was always "flattened" on one side and used to laugh with her about that. She'd always respond with "toksah gilah!" or "oh... panday giat guah ehh!" or "aiii... yah kah, mati skeh... ada orang datang ehhh?".

Dad on the other hand... was always the one awake, reading the papers or a book.

Memories.

The first quarter... 2009

And how time flies by so quickly.

It's the end of Feb 2009 already. For some of us, we were just getting to grasp 2008 and getting the hang of writing that year on our cheque leaf and now we have to write 2009. I've lost a few leaves just having to re-write the correct year.

Anyway all, please check out the picts on the final day of rest of dad.
This chapter will henceforth be closed as all of us move on with our daily lives.

Please feel free to continue updating this blog with anything at all...
because...
time flies and it's just nice to capture a part of the history of our lives together right here, right now.

God Bless all !
Pat

The man who inspired this blogspot.

It seems strange that the man who had inspired the creation of this blogspot is now, after 2 months of this blogs creation, gone.

Words cannot express my thanks and gratitude to all who have in more ways than one contributed towards dad's funeral. Thank you so much. Indeed dad would be very thankful also for your support during this time. Some have travelled from far in the wee hours of the night/morning. All of you had some prior plan or engagement, postponed or cancelled, just to be with us...Thank you.

To me, even now, it all seems like a dream. So many memories of being with him remain forever etched in my mind.
Tosai(s), dhall, Sri Paandi, Grand City, Selangor Club, Lake Club, and so many other places will never be the same to me.

Words cannot express how one truly feels inside, however, suffice to say that I do wish everyone a very big thank you for your unending support and care and love during this time.
God Bless all of you.
Pat.
