In memory of Mum: 14 Feb 1938 - 23 May 2012

In her younger days, Mum is known for her rebellious nature and fiery temper. Not one to conform to social norms, she had often spoken her mind, much to the distress and frustrations of her elders. Over the years, she had mellowed down so much that it is so difficult to imagine how she is like when she was younger.

She is a great cook and many of us are going to miss her cooking. The boys used to call her to cook dishes that they craved for, and she would gladly obliged. These dishes can and will never be replicated.

Mum had lived comfortably till the last 1-2 weeks before her death. Other than her cataract operations, she was never in need of surgery. She was able-bodied, fully independent and mobile till the flu bug got her 2 weeks ago. If she had sought medical attention promptly, perhaps she will still be around. Perhaps she will be well just like before, or perhaps she may live to suffer. Whatever it is, she made her decision and moved on. I pray that she is happy.
