RIP, DAD!

Dad passed away on the 12th of August 2024 at age 95.  Coincidentally, it was also my maid's birthday.  Before I left for work in the morning, I her given her a red packet for good luck.  I'm so glad that I remembered!

Dad's funeral took place on Thursday the 15th, and his ashes was put to rest in Peck Shan Theng yesterday, the 16th.

In 2001, Dad had the foresight of pre-purchasing two columbarium niche for Mum and himself.  Did you know that the word "columbarium" comes from the Latin word "columba", which means "dovecote" or "nesting place of doves"?

Doves represent new beginnings.  

Death, some believe, is also a new beginning.
