I shall always remember Uncle KC as someone who lived life to the fullest. We often shared tales of our travels, of interesting encounters, more so of late since his retirement and recent travel exploits. An adventurous spirit is what he had in abundance. Although sad at his passing, I think it was fitting that he left us doing what he loved best, riding his superbike. No amount of cajoling would have gotten him to give up this passion of his, that strong was his conviction. I, like all my other family members, feel a deep sense of loss, and it was a privilege having him a part of my life. A devoted husband, a loving father, a doting grandfather, a good friend ... kind words of an eulogy by his lifelong friend. I would add - a wonderful uncle. Someone who always had a kind word, an enthusiastic disposition, an affirmation of the importance of family ties.
We did not have the chance of a proper farewell, so sudden was his passing. We seek comfort in the personal goodbyes we bid in our hearts. Rest in peace Uncle KC.
A game of Mahjong with Uncle KC during this past Chinese New Year.
Auntie Mary, Uncle KC and Lynette hosted a dinner party on the 7th day of Chinese New Year last Saturday. Auntie Mary is a great cook and my cousin Lynette is a Martha in the making with her decor and food presentation attempts! See what I mean in the photo.
My mum suggested that we all go to Ipoh for a day trip yesterday, just to get away for a bit. So off we went with my aunts and uncles, all 7 of us - mum, Suk Harn and I, Auntie Anne, Auntie Mary, Uncle Chee Peng and Uncle KC; my dad's 2 sisters, brother and brother-in-law.
