Thank you ah gong for everything you've taught me about life.

I love you. I respect you so much. From an ice-cream uncle selling ice-creams at 5 cents to 10 cents each to a law-abiding, trustworthy and helpful taxi driver, you managed to bring up 4 kids successful in every way. Seeing the way your kids(my uncles n aunts) are brought up to be so filial and so united as a family is a tribute to the upbringing and character you've instilled in your children.

I am truly honoured to have your attendance on my graduation day in Melbourne. It was great having your company. we could chat. Your knowledge of life belittles the fact that you did not get a proper education. It was always good to have a nice chat with you.

I'm glad that I managed to spend some time with you after I got back from Melb. I would have hated myself had I put off staying and accompanying you watch news coz I was tired from work.

As in my sms to all my uncles and aunts,

"In this difficult time, let us be strong.. We've lost a loved one.. One whom we respect utmostly.. But I hope all of us can be strong.. For ah gong has truly lived a blessed life and left without suffering pain.. We'll all miss him lots but we hv to be strong to be able to take care of ah ma.."

At this point of time, I'll have to take comfort that you left without suffering (much) pain.

Now the final thing left to do is to cut all the frustrating red tape in transporting ah gong's body back from China and get the rituals done. I realli feel for ah ma.. Imagine me feeling so lost back here while ah ma is in the hospital in a foreign place like China without any friends and family to seek comfort from.. It's totally unbearable.. I am realli worried about ah ma now..
