Thinking of WK near end of 2024

Quite a lot has taken place over the years.. more of our peers have passed on.. we hope WK and they are in a better place..

Ups and downs in life.. watching our kids grow up.. as we welcome our new chapter in life approaching 50 years old..

Carpi Diem!

Yearly visit to a dear friend, WK.

It has been 10 years since we last heard your wit and nuggets of wisdom about life. Every year I am reminded to be thankful for each brand new day that I can open my eyes to see and meet my loved ones, and continue on towards my dreams.

May you rest in peace.

Another year passes by, another year to reflect and remember

5th anniversary

this year marks the 5th year we are visiting WaiKeong at the temple. little kaven (2 year+) was here to join us too! no prize for guessing who was talking in the background while we were having lunch at the nearby coffee shop.

WK

it has been 5 years since you left us.. may you rest in peace WK.

Gathering at Guo Hao's place - 18th June 2011

Now then I realise JinRong and PeiSoon were wearing the same shirt! I wonder what Ayken and Daniel were trying to tell each other..

新的一年

小時候， 新的一年意味著許多‘新’的事物：新的班級、新的課本、新的老師、新的校服、校鞋、還有最重要的（對當時的我而言) - 新的書包。家境不算很好，一個書包得撐足一年，成績好的話， 新書包就有着落了。 還依稀記得自己每年都得花上好幾天， 才能順利地寫上正確的年份。 一整年下來， 生活按著學期非常有規律。 突然好懷念求學那段日子！



踏入社會工作以後， 新的一年就少了那份喜悅和期盼。 或許有些人還會坐下來回顧過去一年所發生的事， 展望新的一年， 對自己許下什麽承諾 - 新的一年裏該多做什麽， 少做什麽， 不做什麽。 我似乎曾經也作過這等事，但也漸漸開始明白， 人的牽絆實在太多了。 除非你下定決心一意孤行，不去理會在乎的人的想法和感受， 不然的話， 想做的事並不一定就能做得到。 久了，每年列出的承諾少了。 如果你現在問我， 明年有什麽想做的事， 我是著實沒辦法給你一個完整或滿意的答復。



現在的我，倒是真正的體會到作爲一個女兒、妻子、母親， 對新的一年的期許：

一家平安、健康。

心境平和、知足。

緊記感恩、施福。



新年快樂， 自己詮釋的那一份快樂！

Isaac the little driver @ 13 months!

Sorry for not posting any updates for such a loooonnnngggg time! Here are some clips and pictures of the little fella for you to enjoy!

Ayken's full month celebration

Thanx to all who came to my baby Ayken's full month celebration. Here are some pictures taken (I was the stand-in photographer since KC could not make it, please pardon the unskillfulness!)

Not sure if this family combination would work.
Ning: Soon, let's just adopt Kaven to spare me the pain of bearing a second boy.
Little Daniel's got the look.
Here's two of the three Mr K's.
She tried to make friends with Ayken, what a sweet girl!
Next time I had better ask daddy to bring the latest DVDs to watch. "UP" is booooooring..
And of course, the star of the day!

怀念.伟强

大家还记得吗?再过两天,即11月17日,就是伟强离开我们的第三周年.

今早到灵前祭拜还有些鼻酸与失落的感觉,还有那么一点点的不可思议.如果有人说他出国公干要再过几年才能回国,我想我会比较容易接受.

anyway大伙都有update近况.我也为可爱的芸萱拍了个照.这小妮子还蛮有性格的,但也象哥哥靖衡一样不爱说话.

Support Changfu in Operation Vannakam

我的朋友, 我的同学, 我最爱的一切

To begin, I would like to say a big thank you for being my friend these years. We may not meet and talk often as we understand we have our lives to lead and responsibilities to bear. I am writing this to you to seek your support in Operation Vannakam.

My team and I will be leaving this June for this expedition to help build a hospital in a remote village near Nigilri Mountains, INDIA. This might be my final expedition (overseas) due to personal commitment and health reasons.

I would want to make sure the two underprivileged youth from my team (one from Boy’s Town and one from Movement for Intellectually Disabled, MINDS) will not be denied of this opportunity to help the needies in India as well as to help themselves in terms of character building and self worth.

You can help me and my team by donating money and/or buying our expedition T-shirts that we will be selling in a few weeks. We will be overjoyed if you could also spread the kind words among your friends and collegues to convince them to chip in as well.

I can be reached at 96849275 and yangtionghock@hotmail.com.

Looking forward to your generosity



Sincerely yours,

Changfu,

Faith

I think Everything is nothing, including faith.

Nothing itself is arbiturary. including this thought.

When mortals like us reached a consensus, nothing becomes everything.

And Everything is us.

Hey everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Just a Note part 2
