Father would be 80 today

Don’t have many pics with me None in my phone, only a few faded keepsakes around the house The many memories I keep inside me, along how he and my mom raised me – to be real My earliest memories? Hard to tell Him studying German, listening to end endless cassette tape in our old…

Uncle Han

Someone I will remember for the rest of my life…. We have developed a bit of a habit to visit Labrador Park often. It is quaint, quiet, usually not very busy, it offers some of the most untouched nature left in Singapore, it has beautiful views and it is close to great food (Hai Di Lao). Oh…
