Mummy was down with flu since Tuesday, she took MC for the day but didnt get better. She went back to work as usual on Wednesday but decided to take the day off on Thursday as she's not feeling any better.

Daddy too visited the doctor on Thursday evening and was on MC the next day. Mummy's flu was not getting any better so Daddy send her to see our family doctor instead, they waited for almost 2 hours on a weekday morning. By the time they reached home, my temperature also shot up to 39 degree and also vomitted. Poor Daddy had to make another trip to the clinic with me despite him being sick also.

Throughout Friday night, neurofen has no effect to my high temperature, hence early Saturday morning, Daddy decided to give a call to Uncle Terence for consultation. Uncle Terence advised to give my some paracetamol first and suggested that we visit him at his clinic at 9am. I was so worried that I will be admitted to the hospital again like that time when i was just eight months old. Uncle Terence was very sweet, he assured me that there will be no injection first thing when I saw him on Saturday morning. Prelimarily, he told Daddy it might be just viral infection and he will prescribed some antibiotics to speed up the recovery which he would not advice normally but in view of my prolong coughing to prevent further infection.

On Saturday evening, Daddy brought Noelle to see The Salvation Army's musical "Jesus Folks", seems that the songs are very enjoyable such as "He came to give us life in all the fullest"

Daddy wrote an eulogy
In loving memory of his World Best Uncle
Mr Ong Teng Sein

Tributes are ever flowing as we celebrate the life of a true gentleman who constantly care and been a blessing for others be it a family member or just a friend. He is none other than Mr Ong Teng Sein, my dearest uncle. For what I have known him for all these years in my life, he was a caring husband, loving father, doting grandfather, supportive brother, great uncle, relative and friend.

Emotions are most uncontrollable during this time, especially whenever fond memories of him flash back his amicable smile, gentle words, politeness and humbleness and of course all the wonderful things that he had done.

Never will I ever forget that how this uncle of mine supported me and my family, whenever my parents squabbled and fought during my teenage days. Countless times that he and my auntie would always rushed to our rescues.

Gratefully, I always remember when I was alone at home one Lunar New Year eve after my parents separated. He was the only one whom remembered me and phoned to ask me if I want to join his family for reunion dinner at his house. I am so deeply touched by his thoughtfulness and kindness until today.

Selflessly, he engaged and provided taxi transport for a hairstylist whom was touched by his kindness and sincerity to visit his bedridden brother for a neat haircut. He even spent his birthday couple of years ago to attend to his younger brother at deathbed. That was the first time I saw his teary eyes.

Effortlessly he had been a blessing to many others but he never wanted to be burden or inconvenience others. Independently he took care of his family and his own needs, never did he breathed a word of complain or tiredness. All these are only possible with his power of love for the people around him..

Impress upon me always are his good characteristics, his gentleness and humbleness. Even in his last few hours, he would lift his trembling hands to gesture “Thank you” to those whom visited him in the hospital.

Now as he rested in eternal peace, his good attributes live on forever as a role model for me and many others!
Last week been a very hectic week for Daddy and Mummy, Noelle was down with fever on Monday, same day the doctor confirmed Adam has HFMD. My parents immediately send me off to my maternal grandma house for isolation in case Noelle is down with HFMD also.


On Tuesday, Grandma came back from Thailand and rushed to visit our granduncle that very morning as his condition has worsen. Unfortunately he passed away that afternoon. In the evening, Noelle's lips started to develop ulcers so daddy and mummy brought her back to the doctor and it was confirmed that she contracted HFMD also. We had no choice but to cancel our holiday plan to Pulai Spring Resort.


Thursday, was National day and also Daddy's birthday, Mummy decided to give him a surprise and they went on an adverture day trip to Indonesia, Bintan Island. Upon reaching the island, mummy was disappointed with the so called Factory Outlet store and wanted to take the next ferry back to Singapore. Daddy then suggested taking a taxi to go down town for recee, they then rented a car with driver for 2 hours that took them out to the traditional market and kelong restaurant for lunch. they almost missed the ferry when coming back, reaching the jetty just 15 mins before departure time. Thank God that one kind soul helped to persuade the immigration to allow them to board the return ferry.
