About My Dad

This page is dedicated to the most wonderful father whom has passed away since 1987.
All our sibling would like to thank him for all the things him have done for us since day one.
My father is a very strong, helpful, honest, brave, man of many talent and loving man.
He always stands out and helps those weak one that he met.
He settled down in Singapore after he helped a weak woman in Penang during Japanese occupation. I cherish the years that I have spent with him. Especially spend our night outside looking at fall star at kampong village.
He taught us to be honest, kind, considerate to other and avoid bad habit. i.e. gambling by example or moral of China old stories. I never bored hearing his story most of night. Really missed his story.

I recalled he help a old lady from loan shark and loan money to his needed relatives although we are shortage of money at that time.
Always treated us all fair. He managed to give us most of necessary material things that he wanted us to have even he had a tough life in earlier days.

It hurt me so much when I learned that his diabetes and heart problem condition getting worst during last few years. Every night, I prayed to any god for him to get better beside his bedside hoping he get better. He don’t show sign of weakness or pain to us, maybe he do not wish us to worry.

He gave us alot of surprise during his last few years.
He make a profession huge bamboo lantern during mid autumn festive. We proudly take this lantern around our residence area.
One night, he told us that he want to make “Pao” for us. That night, I stay very late as I always wanted to see how he make “Pao” and taste his “Pao”. Impressed till today, I still wandering how he make good “Pao” without yeast.
During a family outing at seaside, we found him missed. Worry he drown. Surprising, we noted he was swimming at mid of sea.
We never knew he can swim so well. He is a man with talent that we never knew.

As day passed by, he became thinner and weaker. I feel even more sad and painful to see him this condition. I knew he was very brave and battled very hard for his illness during that few years. On the final day of cremation, my mother and some of sibling heard beautiful music and song from nowhere. We believed that lord has witness good deed he has done and called him home.

We are extremely proud that been blessed with such a great dad.
