Relatives & Friends, Ladies & Gentlemen, Thanks for being here tonight and share our bereavement. Some came from Vietnam, Hong Kong and Australia to pay last respects to Jamie. We thank you. I am the only son with 4 elder sisters. Was I spoilt, understandably so. Jamie is our only son. Was he spoilt? definitely so. He was loved by all his relatives, especially my mother, his one & only grandmother Jamie did not excel in academic. In fact the very first day of kindergarten, he hid underneath the bed and refused to board the school bus. It was a premonition that studies was not one of his fortes. He struggled to Secondary School and did not make it to the University. He tried various technical vocations but did not succeed. We enrolled him for violin lessons, tae kwon do classes, and some other extra-curricular activities, all were short-lived. Later it was discovered that Jamie suffered from Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). Jamie managed to excel on computer gaming, photography and fishing which ended up as part of his profession publishing HOOKED magazine. National Service did some good for Jamie as he became fitter and made many bosom friends. It also gave him an inexplicable tuft of white hair on the front left side of his head. Jamie has a good sense of humor and is street smart. In many ways he has graduated from the university of life. When he was 16, we were in Las Vegas for holidays. He played slot machines and was confronted by the security due to his young chubby face as it was illegal for the underage. Because of his size, he retorted when questioned of his age, “WHAT DO YOU THINK?” The petit guard quietly walked away. We all had a good laugh. Maybe that incident also psyched him not to gamble – one of his virtues. He does not play mahjong nor go to the casino. Only several times to Universal Studio and of course dining in Marina Bay Sands. When he was a kid and I was working in the airline industry, I was a social smoker to the chagrin of Maria. Jamie then gave me a stern warning in deference to his mother. He said if I caught you smoking at home, dad, I will not speak with you for a day. For the 2nd stick, I will not talk to you a week. Unfortunately, one of the ills of NS got him smoking and he was addicted since then. Jamie’s love for food started young as he has a ferocious appetite. He is a connoisseur of sorts. We remembered when he was 5 years old and served ketchup on his food. He frowned and told mum this is not the brand I like. Give me Del Monte please. We were in France for holiday together with Terry Tan, my editor-in-chief then. During one of our meals, Terry commented about food semantics and Jamie gave an enlightening remark which Terry was unaware and thought he was joking. Jamie said firmly, “I do not joke about good food.” Jamie is loved by many friends who encountered him at various stages of his life. He was a bundle of joy and pillar of strength to many girls. His best friend as he always tells us, is Rachel Ma. In fact it was Rachel who disciplined him to pass driving test and many of his immature behavior. Jamie also has several forsaken loves. Every break-up resulted with a new dog in my house – the beagle, the jack Russell and the husky. My son is big-sized but rather shy. He came forth as a bully but is never one. He is big-hearted and very generous as all his friends have testified. He does not like to speak in public and he seldom sings though we know he has a good voice. After watching Les Miserable together, he memorized the lyrics of many songs and sang beautifully while we were driving up to Malaysia on our family holiday. Because of ADHD, Jamie has moods and sometimes annoyed I and Maria to the hilt. But he will apologize after that. The press & social media reported on the accident. No matter the cause, Jamie is no longer with us and I do not wish to labor, comment or speculate on it. He will NEVER come home to us every night. We will NEVER have weekend meals together anymore. I will NEVER hear him say DAD I love you. Jamie, mummy and dad missed you so so very much. You be good in heaven, and we all see you soon.
