Dearest 3-Chim, Words cannot describe my love and respect for you. I wish you could be with us forever yet we had to let go of you as you have had a wonderful life which is the envy of all. I reminisce on the loving and fun moments we had: Mahjong incidents: - You're most happy when you "sau dai" beat us flat. It happened so frequently even at your 80s - Someone gamed with missing "blocks", none of us noticed, yet you spotted the mistake immediately even with your single eye sight - Your fast pace counting of making doubles put shame to our poor Maths - Lastly, thanks for allowing us and teaching us to play mahjong at a young age! - When I had frozen shoulder, you were so concerned, kept advising me to see doctor or take medication despite your weak self. - I love to see you enjoying durians and thanks so much for teaching us to eat durians with rice, something your children still enjoy today. - I always looked forward to your special meal of the day such as yam kueh, Laksa, Hokkien mee... We'll be having them throughout the day when special menu is on. - Thanks for being my confinement lady and always there for me when we needed help in taking care of the young ones. - You always reminded us to keep food for the maid, you taught me generosity and kindness - You always thanked the maid for taking care of you, you taught me respect. - You were a super woman to me for having 7 of us, and few miscarriages in between. I remember you told me that you cycled to school even when you were near full term pregnant, amazing! Memories during my younger days: - You learnt folk dancing at school and you brought me along. I remember learning the steps and dancing with the adults. I enjoyed that very much. - You were also my teacher at primary school. You always went through revision with me via Q n A way. - You wanted the best for me in my O-level, you tricked me into going to the Kuang Imm Theng temple and had someone chanted on me. I was so angry I just walked off on my own... So sorry that I didn't appreciate your love then. - I had an accident driving during heavy rain. You took the blame and told 3-Peh that you were the one driving the car. - The unforgettable confinement food you prepared for my sils, such as sesame oil pig brain, fried beh teh saw with egg...I was lucky to get to taste them when there was extra, so yummy - You helped me with my university application when I dared not approach or even informed 3-Peh about it. Too many loving memories to recall... We will miss you dearly 3-Chim. We are truly blessed to have you, nothing more to ask for. Such big hearted person, full of loving kindness. With the wondrous merits you have cumulated, I'm rest assured that you are now in a beautiful place that you best deserve. 2nd daughter, Huay Siang
