Dearest Dad's Demise...

My dad passed away yesterday afternoon in a foreign land, Vietnam while he was working there.

My family and I will be flying over there today, to settle everything there.

Though I did not tell him this, I know he knows that in my heart, I missed and loved him very much. How I wished that he is back with us every festive season etc.

Again, this is all so dramatic, like a scene out from those cheesy, old Channel 8 drama serials.

人死异乡is not what a typical Chinese hopes.

Imagine you are already a foreigner in a strange land with strange language and strange people.

I would be very scared to be alone in a foreign place, lest to pass away there without a single kin by his side.

Thankfully, he had had great Singaporean friends who were with him throughout his stay in the hospital those few days.

But I do hope that Dad will rest in peace and rest assure that we will be bringing him back, soon.

Dad, I will take care of myself and our family and please forgive us for not being there with you at your very last breath.


I love you forever in my heart,

little miss sacred
