Recalling recent caring messages and conversations with family and friends
“Has it been 3years alrdy?” And the likes of, “Wow, time flies. 3 years in the blink of an eye”.
Emotionally gruelling 1095 days since.
Not a day gone by without tearful blinks
The missing, constant and my love, always. less

Almost every noon and late night in the office, you would hear from 'yours truly' gathering those who were stuck in the office. Offering a group food ordering (back in the old days, no deliveroo or grab) or a short break from the office. A true foodie to go to for recommendations. Still remember the best stingray in SG.
Wont forgot going to my first ever SG style "birthday party". The whole '9 yards' of different drinks lining up, a 'challenge' to the birthday girl. A full meal after the drinking in the middle of night in SG.
Miss those days. Dear friend, RIP less
"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal." Remembering the life our dearest friend and the times we shared together. You will always live in our ❤️

Your laughter, your jokes and your teasing, they are still so fresh in our memories. You are very much a part of us. Now that one of us has left us, family gatherings will never be the same. Every October will never be the same. We miss you, Ronny! less

The future is what we look forward to, the present is what we live for, the past is what we remember of. And in some part of my memory, you will always be there cos we began as friends in the silly young years.
“Don’t sweat the small things in life”, you would have advised when I was tearing my hair out while complaining about my desk mate who put his sweaty uniform on my desk. It annoyed me endlessly and I brooded about it for a few days.... more“Don’t sweat the small things in life”, you would have advised when I was tearing my hair out while complaining about my desk mate who put his sweaty uniform on my desk. It annoyed me endlessly and I brooded about it for a few days. 我就是总是看不开。
“Aiyo Sweetie, faster do (if not Mummy will scold you)”. You would have warned in jest when I was rolling on the Living room floor, refusing to do my Chinese essay. The bracketed words would have been accompanied by the playful raise of your eyebrows and cheeky glint in your eyes while signaling to the current coordinates of our “Domestic Authoritarian Dictator”. Would your fond chuckle and gentle coaxing be there when Procrastination Princess reared her ugly head again?
“Billie Eyelash” played on the radio. “Macaroon 5” too.
Where do I go to share these private corny jokes with?
The stark absence of the little moments we used to share has made life without you a living hell.
Are you watching?
Do you see me zoning out in History class (Chocolate Pocky stick hanging out of my mouth as I doze off)?
Do you see me breaking out of my introverted shell? Do you see me eating Nasi Lemak chilli without drinking a drop of water?
Do you see every minute miles stone I cross?.
Are you proud?
When I performed decently well in the Math test and was attentive even during the longest Physics lesson of the week?
When I Emceed for Founder’s Day?
Do be proud. I grew incredibly much in the past year.
Where are you?
Heaven, they tell me.
Where is that? Send me the coordinates of this exotic location and maybe I'll get my one golden ticket there someday.
Someday, when I’m done “Girlbossing” my way through life, meet me at the Gate.
Walk me through our new home like how you would have walked me to my dates, graduations and down the aisle.
Walk me down memory lane and through your thoughts as you watched me grow through your telescope looking down on earth.
For now
Look down and watch this part of you soldier on till the day we meet again. less

Pool sessions in Bishan 8 jacuzzi and at the pool tables at Shaw Centre. Drinks with you at newsroom, PiC and many others. Where you shared about your work life and your love for Diana and Claire and life in general. Missed your sincere friendship and hearty laughters. The stay at your place
at lorong ah soo before fetching your wife to be Diana in very early morning(on your mattress. You did not even have a bed!). Knocking off due to the late night chatting and early ceremony. You and Diana copying me buying a MX 6! You finally learning and driving. I love you bro. Always will. Missing you. less

Fond memories of the time playing rugby, shuffling mahjong tiles and listening to music. Your laughter seems to echo in my ear all these while. RIP team mate, room mate, dear friend
