A brief moment of darkness |
|
Ah-Kong had always been in good health all these years. His eye-sight never failed him, his legs were still strong. His mind had never failed him. On 4 January 2003, Ah-Kong fell down when he was coming home from a haircut. From that day, he became weak and his health deteriorated. On the night of 16 January, Ah-Kong called his children to his bedside. He wanted to see them for a last time. He held their hands. He could still remember all our names. The following day, Ah-Kong’s condition worsen and Raymond piggybacked him to Changi Hospital. We all rushed to the hospital to see him. His grandchildren desperately called his name aloud, knowing that they could not do anything as Ah-Kong slowly slipped into a deep sleep. At 9:44 pm, Ah-Kong passed away peacefully in the company of his family. He left behind his son and daughters, son & daughter-in-laws, grandchildren and great-granddaughter, who will miss him dearly and hold him in their hearts forever.

| "Ah-Kong has been a part of 26 years of my life. He took care of me when i was a kid, brought me to school everyday, carried my school bag. As years passed, he saw me grow up, I saw him aged. He was a man of few words, a man of patience who never knew anger. I have never seen him frown, there always a smile on him." - darren | |||

| "Although, Ah-kong was a man of few words, who seldom conveyed his feelings to us, we love him still the same. We know he loves us too." - darren | |||

| "Though I didn't talk much to you since I was young, I know that you still care for me. Ever since i was a kid, you brought me to school, to and fro plus carrying my heavy bag. On weekends, went downstairs to buy food for us. You still care for us, children and grand children all the same. I miss you dearly, ah kong. I will always remember you as my dearest grandfather... I love you "- Rachel (Aliko) | |||

| "When I was a child, you and I were inseparable, like glue to paper. I would stop crying the moment you picked me up. You saw me through my childhood days... rain or shine, you were there. I remembered those days when you never failed to fetch me to and from school, and insisted on carrying heavy stacks of rice alone. I knew you were already with the Lord when I held your hand in the hospital. We all miss you so much, and unforgettable memories of you will stay with us for the rest of our lives." - Jasmine (Hao Lam Girl) | |||
