The oldest person in Singapore has passed away. It's not something recent. But I just learned about the news some 3 weeks ago. It wasn't announced until 5 days later. She left quietly. Hubby had wanted to bring Zach to meet her. When I was 5 months pregnant, we visited her home at Hougang. She was a cheerful, 113 year old centenarian born in 1898. Together with her caregiver, Bro Sharana Rao (who happens to be a yoga master), we lunched at Swensen which serves her favourite vanilla ice cream. She was a midwife in those days. When we met, she gave me 3 good advice on healthy pregnancy; read good books, get soaked in the morning sun and think positively. Nevertheless, we still visited Bro Sharana last week. Also to pay respect to Sis Teresa Hsu but subsequently we found out that her wish was to leave nothing and the only way to pray to her was through our hearts.... For those who do not know about Sis Teresa Hsu, her life and her contributions, please google. .
Look, how simple she wants her meaningful life to be. Looking at my wardrobe-full of clothes, bags & shoes, I feel guilty. Yet, yet, yet, I need to have those things to make myself "ME"....hehe... Oh and this has just reminded me that, I have yet to shop for new year clothes! Ok, hopeless, I know. I will try to buy fewer items from now onwards....
