SO MUCH LOVE, SO LITTLE SPOKEN...

Mother is a very hard working person, she always takes responsibility on her own to take care of us, I seldom thank her and I seldom thank her enough of what she has done for us and for me...

Here I speak of mother, her closest sister and her first child...that is me, chubby...

Mother came from a small town, she was very very poor as I can recall, I remember the scenes of collected wood and chopped up furniture for fire to cook, and I can remember the scent and the smell of burning wood of fire cooking in the old kitchen, I like to play with the blow pipe which was used to blow the fire in the stove. Life was not easy for her and her family...

In 1975, Mother got married at 17, she had a chubby little boy in 76, it was the very first child of the family, she and her family cherished, took care of this chub well, grew fat and strong...It wasn't easy for mother at that time of my birth, father was weak to speak in the family, and mother was made servant to serve all 6 proud sisters and a fierce grandmother of mine at that time in her new family, poor and living under the roof of grandmother's house, she was made to bare hard work and humiliation most of the time, at times where she's not around her baby chub, baby would be beaten, until images still haunts this chub today...

Though difficult, mother patiently stayed on with the marriage, soon the sisters all had their own family and grandmother passed away...It was a very rough journey the whole time for her, but she stayed strong, she had her sisters to encourage her and support her, among the the siblings her older sister (Dai Yee) was the closest to her, I ofter seen mother visiting each other and talking on the phone to each other, Dai Yee would be the first mother seek help and comfort from, for all this time, this Sister of my mother had been a very good one, she was always loud and cheerful, comforting and helpful...I thank her for being a very good sister and friend for mother and the family...

On 26th January, 2007 Friday afternoon 2.30pm, Dai Yee left peacefully at the age 52...it was a sudden cause of lung infection and caused them to filled with liquid, nobody expected it...mother was sad, very very sad...For I only wish something could be done...

There's a secret path i follow
To a place no one can find
Where i meet my perfect someone
I've kept hidden in my mind
Where my heart makes my decisions
'till my dream becomes a vision
And the love i feel
Makes him real someday

Cause i know he's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though i've never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But i know him by heart

Am i living an illusion?
Wanting something i can't see
If i compromise, i'd be living lies
Pretending he's not meant to be
Cause i know my heart's worth saving
And i know that he'll be waiting
So i'll hold on and i'll stay strong 'till then

Cause i know he's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though i've never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart

No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But i know him by heart
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But i know him by heart
