1 month on .....

Dear baby bro, 

How are you? Today marks the 1st month since you left us. As weird as it may sounds, I felt your return on the first week and mummy dearest felt you came back home last week for a quick visit. I'll still talk fondly about you - your naughtiness, laughter, everything. I don't go through a day without missing you. During my quiet moments, I'll think of you in the other world - my most worry is if there is anyone helping to look after you? I believe that you are a good child, so there will be kind souls around to help you out. 

Every night, I'll be praying that I get to see you in my dreams. However, you failed to appear apart from that brief second on 21st Jan. I wasn't even sure if it was you since I woke up from my dream shortly feeling cold, only to realize that your kor kor (Leecher) had turned on the air con while I was sleeping. In the end, kor kor is forbidden from switching on the air con for the rest of the week as punishment, lol.

When mummy dearest & I visited you the other day, we were slightly late and it seemed like you threw a bit of tantrum. Almost everything went wrong & I ended up with a small burn and a sore finger. You must be angry that 姐姐 overslept on that day and missed our scheduled timing. 姐姐 is sorry, so don't be angry ok? I'll promise not to be late :)

I miss you greatly. 

Love always, 
姐姐

3 weeks

It will be Day 21 tomorrow, 3 weeks after you left us.

Every day, I'll still think of you.

Miss you, my dearest baby bro. 

A brand new year

At the stroke of midnight on 1st Jan 2014, we welcome the new year. 

I'm not a firm believer of new year resolution, but I hope to spend more time with my family  moving forward.

I wish for health and happiness for all my loved ones. 

May baby bro be happy and healthy where ever he may be. 

****

Thank you for being there for us in this difficult time, I really appreciate this from the bottom of my heart. Life still goes on & I know baby bro is watching over us from up above.

Goodbye

At the last day of every year, it has been a tradition to sit in front of the comp and pen down my thoughts for the past year. This year, I struggled long before deciding to pen down this post. 

My beloved baby bro left us on 26th Dec 2013. Mummy once told me that when baby bro was born, the doc predicted that he only had a life expectancy of 12-16 years. We were fortunate enough to have him for 27 years in the family, which I'm extremely thankful for. His health deteoriated over the last couple of years, but that did not stop us from loving him more. He was a brave warrior with a strong will to live. 

It has been an emotional ride for the last couple of days - the reality that baby bro has left us didn't register in my brain. I kept feeling that he was just away in hospital and will be back in a couple of days. I teared whenever I think of him - sitting in his favourite chair and waiting for us to play or talk to him.

I know he is in a better place now where he is healthy & carefree. In my heart, he will always be my beloved baby bro, the one that I'll always love and care for. 

Baby, 姐姐 loves you forever. 

Always my baby bro

You will always be my beloved baby bro - my brave warrior. 姐姐 loves you forever. 

Xmas 2013

 

This year, we decided to decline all parties/gatherings invitation and spent Xmas together at home. It was just like any other weekend - we woke up late morning, he made brunch & we watched a couple of shows on TV before unwrapping our Xmas gifts. Then, I did the laundry while he vacuumed the place and the lights from our Xmas tree shone brightly in the background. Leecher will be cooking something different tonight & I'm really looking forward to it :) Nothing fanciful but I'm thankful for the simple/quiet celebration.

❤ ❤ ❤

As I sign off, hope everyone have a blessed Xmas!

Wedding: SSL & Uncle Teo Part Two

 

Happy Xmas Eve Eve, lol! Since it's such a joyous occasion, I'm back with Part Two of SSL & Uncle Teo's big day (read Part One here). One of SSL's brother lived close to me, so he kindly gave me a lift home. However, I forgot my keys & had to "summon" Leecher to come back to open the front door for me, lol! Thankfully, he was already on the way home when I called. A quick nap + shower later, I headed down to the hotel for soleminisation + dinner reception.

The venue was at Fort Canning Hotel - I have never been to this area before, but judging from the name, I gathered that it should be near ROM. Thankfully, taxi uncle knows the exact location & I reached slightly earlier than the agreed time. The reception area was already set up, oh wells, that meant I can slack till duty calls for it, lol! Flipped through the pre-wedding album and can't help but giggle at the pic above, lol! SSL looked so "Malay" in the pic :)

 

Taking a pic of the ROM table. I didn't have my camera with me, but my trusty iphone works fine :) I "stole" a lot couple of pictures from SSL's facebook to put together the entries as well. 

 

Always distracted by babies ... provided they are not wailing :) 

 

A pic with Nijun, who came earlier for the ROM reception and with Sheena, one of the bridesmaids. I really love Sheena's curls ... pretty!  
 

     
 Solemnization process was quick and fuss-free. Well, SSL didn't shed any tears even though I had prepared tissue for her, lol! She's a tough chick to crack :)   
Presenting to you Mr & Mrs Teo! PS: Spot the difference b/w the 2 pics :) 
 
Polaroid of bridesmaids + the newly weds :) 
    
Rainbow spotted on the reception table, directly in front of where I sat! 

 

Reception duty with the sisters! We took charge of the bride's tables, but somehow most of the guests ended up coming to our side looking for their tables. Tsk tsk, the guys must be too busy having fun on their own.

The brothers were really committed to their duties of "guarding" the angbao box, insisting of holding onto it every second.
 

with 204 babes, lol! We are like 常任嘉宾 of one another weddings. Next 204 babe wedding projected will be Jun in Oct :) Jinlian came along to say hi too, but she had to head off to the airport for a business trip ... so she's missing in this pic! 

 

Another pic of the lovely couple! Their thank-you speech brought laughter to everyone, lol! 

 

Uncle Teo had a surprise for SSL for it was also their 9th year anniversary - the TNT box contained an extremely large bouquet of 99 roses!

The very diva-ish SSL pose :) Have a blissful marriage my dear!
