The car porch is HUGE. Can easily park 6 cars with doors flung wide open.
Checking out my sis/bro-in-law's new house. Targeting to move in end of May. That's my 2 mth old new car in front. Too bad dad never got a chance to ride in it. Well, may be all the better since his chariot-of-fire is now waaaaaay cooler than any earthly car.
Using my new Sony Ericsson W810i camera phone for all the picture taking. Not bad for the 2mil pixel camera. U can see me in the mirror with my tiny phone.
Last nite was the 1st Anniversary of "Hai Nan Street". And incidentally it was also exactly 1 month ago that my dad passed away. We had a thanks-giving dinner with family members and staff.
Baby Bethany. Born April 7th. Weighed 3.6kg. Super healthy. Greatly blessed, deeply loved. highly favoured by God Almighty.

Well, what is my dad doing now in heaven? Well, I won't be surprised if he is kissing my beloved grandma, one of the most awesome woman I ever known.
These are my folks with my maternal grandparents, of which both have passed on too. U began to realise no matter how much time u spent while alive it is never enough. Won't it be a sad thing if some of our love ones couldn't join us in heaven - for eternity?
The people who meant the MOST to me - my grandparents & my parents. It is sad to realise ALL of them are gone now. In fact it is still hard to believe in a sad way. But thanks to uncle Pete who took all these fabulous photos.
Some of the best items were the "love letters" he wrote BEFORE I was even born. And my dad kept ALL of them! And a whole bunch of other very COOL things. Many of them got "promising" 4 digits, and 6 digits...hmm...
As we were still tiding up dad's belongings, we hit jackpot! Dad kept so many "old" stuff. The best were the old photos.
I am not too sure how old does my dad looks now in heaven, nor do I know what exactly is he doing up there, but I do know he is having lots of fun. Like taking a swim?
Sealing of the tomb.
A close up.
Before the sealing of the tomb. Terrance (the guy in sunglasses) is one of my dad's favourite friends and "faithful" majong kaki. I told him if he wants to play majong with my dad again he better accepts Jesus as his Saviour and Lord. That's the ONLY ticket. I will pray for him. I sincerely believe if my dad has only got ONE wish up there in heaven, it would be the salvation of all the people he cared about. From uncle Pete to uncle Jee to uncle Sim to... so many of them.
Beside laying down the urn, we also selected some of dad's personal belongings to be burried together. At first, XOs and Majong were high on the selection list ;)
Another short worship.
About 50 plus followed all the way to the cemetery.
Here's arriving at the cemetery. Beautiful day.
Beside a short sermon from Pastor Kueh, my sis and myself also shared some short sharings. In fact, we were glad we were able to share the Gospel with some very close relatives and friends during past few days.
Uncle Jee, one of my father's best buddies.
Some of my business associates and staff. Really touched to see them.
Many friends and relatives came to show their last respect. And most flew in from Sibu.
Singing and praising the name of our Lord Jesus. I really want to thank the church for been so supportive over the years. My care group has been awesome. Bro Nelson has been incredible too. There are just so much good things in the church.
