Remembering Dad on His 90th

Saturday 23rd August 2025

Today, dad would have turned 90.

We celebrated his 75th and 80th birthday in a very big way, in 2010 and 2015 respectively.

There were 27 tables for his 75th, which was held in Serangoon Gardens Country Club, and 18 tables for his 80th, when it was held in Singapore Island Country Club.

He unfortunately suffered a mild stroke during the year Covid hit (ie. 2020) and spent his 85th birthday at home, with just his immediate family.

He hardly ate and watched us eat on his behalf because he had gradually lost his ability to swallow, and would shortly thereafter have to be tube-fed :-(

Today, he would have turned 90, and is celebrating it with the Lord Jesus Himself :-)

Dad was quite the sentimental and nostalgic person, and would keep items that meant a lot to him.

One of them was his GCE O level results.

I remember him telling us that he was only 1 of 2 students that aced Latin.

Another were his baptism and membership certificates.

He also had 42 rolls of 35mm film, which I helped sent for conversion to digital format.

Unfortunately, many of the slides had mold on them. 

Nonetheless, we would watch them occasionally as a trip down memory lane. 

I have uploaded the digitised version of the 42 albums onto Facebook for everyone's viewing pleasure:

HAVE A BLESSED 90TH BIRTHDAY, DADDY!

Till we meet again in heaven.
