For myseLf, this is a period in time where I dun even know where I am heading but just foLLow as time goes by.

It sucks.

This cannot go on ....

Where there's Life .. there's death.

Where there's Good .. there's Bad.

Where there's a Beginning .. there's an end.

Like a coin - there wiLL aLways be two sides to Life.

A Tribute to the Greatest Man

He is born in 1922 on Hainan Island and has a scar on the abdomen from WorLd War II.

After the war he comes to Singapore with his spouse.

He was a Loud man in the neighbourhood of Hougang Avenue 4.

When I was a boy, He used to own a western food restaurant in Orchard vincinity.

Then He cLoses it down as the government wanted to redeveLop the area.

He opens a smaLL coffeeshop seLLing porridge in the Late 80s around the neighbourhood, but cLoses it down after a year or two due to bad business.

During my earLier years in primary schooL, with Mum working, He fetches me back from schooL and aLways carries my heavy bag.

Sometimes he does the cooking, and grandma does the fetching.

He conversed in Hainanese with grandma, and that is how I Learnt the diaLect.

I was a mischievous boy with good resuLts, but now, I am totaLLy opposite.

After grandma was gone, He became toned down and seLdom goes out of the house.

Those years after primary schooL, I moved back home and visited him once a few days, then it was once a few weeks, then it was months. And every time, he asks me if I have enough pocket money, and gives me $20 even when I have.

He became bedridden after the MiLennium, and as the years go by, He suffered from dementia.

My Grandpa passes away on 2 ApriL 2009.


He is the greatest man I have ever met.
