a sad day indeed




received a call on Thursday afternoon that my dad had just passed away... it's just too sudden, i called him earlier on his birthday to wish him happy birthday (which was on 19 July) and he wasn't feeling well that day. He was admitted to the hospital that evening as he was vomiting blood and blood in his stools. He passed away at 3.55pm on Thursday, 21 July 2011

Drove up to KL on Friday (afternoon). Booked into Empire Hotel at Subang Jaya. After checking in, went to Nirvana where the funeral was held.
it's kinda sad but at such occasion, is the time where i got to meet up with all my cousins (from my father's side) ... which i have not met for many years. Brings back such good memories of growing up together, the gatherings during festive seasons...
and friends too, which i have not met for a long time...

Dad was cremated on Monday, 25 July 2011 at Nirvana Memorial Park in Shah Alam. One of the rare occasion where everyone of us were there... even though there were just the 4 of us with our families and mom. After the cremation, we went out and bought lunch and had a good time bonding at the Memorial Park. It's a time for our children to bond with their cousins too.

Drove back to singapore that afternoon, with a heavy heart...
