it's been a while since i've blogged...and little did i think during the last time i blogged that the next time would be under such circumstances...for those of you that don't already know, my father passed away mid-last month from a sudden heart attack...it came as a painful shock and u never know how it feels till someone so dear to you and the family succumbs to a surprise like that...it has been a testing period for all of us...(especially so as my brother's wedding was just 3 weeks later)...it feels like a weird gap now....with some hope, the wedding celebrations however downtoned, will wash away the grim feeling of having one so close depart

i haven't been able to thank each and every one of you for your kind words of support throughout this period for my family and myself....so i'll just do it here...hope i don't miss anyone...dr chan, aaron, seah, ching szuen, francis, adrian mak, bobby, clement, ho, wong, roger, nasa, waris - i think i've known u guys for a pretty damn long time...more than 10 years each? dr chan i think 15 years or more? thanks to u guys for the support throughout... eve, jen yee, jacko, wy, sarah, jess, han yin...thanks to u ladies too...for my colleagues that sent flowers and all to the house, i am very grateful - shaz and husen too for coming over personally....joel, sean, bryan and daniel extra thanks to u guys for personally carrying it over...also, thanks to zoo ling, sue yee, foong yi for your wishes and putting up with me during the biennial dinner....and suzanne from sg too for your wishes.

just a note for all of you, i think most, if not all of you are actually very family-ppl and that u guys spend alot of time with your families...but try spending that bit more coz u just don't know when your last chance might be and that you might then carry regrets that u can't do anything about...all that said, thanks once again to all of you
