My father passed away two months ago, so this father's day dinner
without him was a very low key affair.Normally we would have an
eight course Chinese dinner set to honor him each year.
This year, father's day was celebrated with my mother, my children,
my younger brother Meng and his family and my sister Shirley and her family.
We ordered some dishes to go with our piping hot white fragrant rice.


Aquarium filled with live fishes.



Family members.


Mung bean noodle cooked with Chinese white cabbage with preserved Beancurd.


Deep fried Tofu in Soy sauce topped with deep fried dried shrimps.


Boiled Sea prawns.


Blanched Kai lan.


Braised Duck with tangy tamarind juice and Chinese Mustard green.


Steamed Grass Carp garnished with deep fried shallots and coriander leaves.

My father was a man that was kind, friendly and generous.
He led a fulfilling life until Depression and the big C came into his life.
He loved all of us equally in his heart,
He was always there in our time of needs ( for monetary and advice),
Some of you might not have known my father the way that i did,
He was a super hero in my eyes,
Nothing is impossible to him,
He made sure that all his family was taken care of no matter what,
He passed away peacefully at 6.11 a.m on 10th of April 2009,
which was the 15th day of the Chinese Lunar calendar and
Good Friday of the English calendar,

He was laid to rest on 12th of April 2009 at the Nilai Memorial Park.

He left us with one big happy family-three wives-twelve children and
a lot of grandchildren (see photo),



 "Dear Father may your soul rest in peace"

Me with the help of my s.i.l Hannah helping to clean the big C growth
wound on my father's left cheek. He's really in agony and pain.
