First of all, Happy Birthday Sylvia!

I hope she enjoys today as it is a day where her mother went through great labour pains to give birth. Probably everyone going through birthdays should give a hug and thanks to their mother.





On a different note, today I received the news that uncle Vincent passed away. It wasn't a shock though as he have been diagnosed with cancer last year. My testimonial to him is that he is a very cheerful person. Even much more so than me. He will always tap my tummy and ask me where my father is whenever he could not find him in church.

Uncle Vincent is one of the founding members along with Uncle Thomas and Uncle Christopher Gan for the Family Rosary in Jurong area. Yes, I've blogged about both uncle Thomas and uncle Gan previously as they both have passed away too battling with illness but everyone went off peacefully in their sleep.

I always love to listen to uncle Vincent and my father sharing their views. He is one of the truly few that can make me laugh like crazy on the times he joke.

The last time I saw him.. was December last year. His grandson just nice reached a month old. But he is undergoing chemotherapy so he could not come out to entertain us but instead stayed in his room. Yeah, he was spending his days at his son's place at the condo above Jurong point. From his room window, you can directly look at the people at the platform. ULTRA COOL.

So, he was telling us if we wanna visit him again, we can shout from the platform and he will wave a handkerchief at us from his room lol

Finally, I want to thank him for all the joy and help he have given me and my family. A similarly impressive man as with Uncle Thomas and Uncle Christopher Gan.
After attending their funerals and looking at the huge crowd that gathered each night, I made up my mind that I will do to change enough people's lives to have them say their farewells to me if I should go one day too.

Some might laugh at this idea and claims that I'm too young for that. I might be. But relationships between human beings doesn't appear overnight. And I felt sad every time I hear about someone's relative funeral and only relatives and business partners appearing to pay their respect.

I want to learn from the three uncles' examples and be someone that people are willing and wholeheartedly come for my funeral from deep down in their hearts. I will probably go every night for the next few nights helping out in the funeral. Some asked am I his grandson or nephew but I replied no. I only help because I want to, and he gave me lots of reason for me to do it willingly.

Mind you, I'm not some saint or ultra helpful person. I'm as lazy as everyone is, minding my own business. But uncle Vincent is my "business"
