I was away for 4 days

Suddenly recieved the news of my eldest uncle's death.

I missed Tuesday Stats prelim and my whole family went to Hatyai. My dad drove to my grandparent's place and the 9 of us took a van up to Thailand. It was a 3 hours van ride.

My ah yi and family flew from SG to Hatyai by air. Biao ge from Perth, his mother from HK, mum's eldest sister from Bangkok (i think), her son from don't know where, another cousin was with the school tour in Italy so she didn't come... Some relatives from Malaysia, while the rest are already in Hatyai.

My uncle died at quite a young age. He just stayed with my family during Chinese New Year. Everyone was very downhearted and mournful as it came so unexpected. *Sigh*

He used to bring us out for breakfast when my siblings and i were kids. He would bring us to Parkway arcade to play games. :(

He was an artistic person. He used to write books, paint, mold pots with chinese characters, mold vase. He could write many styles of Chinese characters.


*****He'll be saddly missed by all. May his soul rest in peace.******
