this day

Nine years ago this day, you left us in a hurry. My favorite photograph of you is on my dressing table; where you wore a white shirt and blue jeans on a sitting pose with a smile and a twinkle in your eye waving your finger as if saying `i told you so'; your smile is so infectious. 

April 2014

i was in KL on 17 April afternoon when i heard about Karpal Singh's death in an accident. i couldn't beleive what i heard until i've read the news online many times over. Karpal Singh's death was untimely as he prepared himself for another round of court battles, first on sedition charges; and second, representing Anwar Ibrahim on sodomy charges. We may speculate on the inevitable outcome of these court cases but Karpal Singh was never ever going to give up easily. Fighting for justice has always been his mantra. We have lost a truly remarkable and incorruptible leader who stood up for ordinary Malaysians. Farewell Karpal Singh.

A new year... I find it hard to believe that it's been eight years since you left us. It seemed only like yesterday that you were in my house having dinner, sharing a joke and teasing Li Huey and Saw Hong. Each year brings new hopes and challenges; how i wish i could share them with you. I miss you. aunty choo2
