Sweet Sixteen
A shoutout to my lovely sister who turned 16 today. Brother and I had initially planned to throw her a sweet sixteen birthday party. I suggested ‘under the sea’ theme, but June wanted a purple-coloured theme. But due to recent unfortunate event, there won’t be any big bang celebration with fanciful feathers, cotton candy or party princess poppers. Just a simple dinner and cupcakes that I made yesterday for her birthday.
Rich chocolate cupcake with orange marmalade cream cheese frosting, which melted during my 2-hour journey from KL to PD with 2 stops in between to run some errands, and had a ‘tumble’ during a sudden emergency break avoiding a herd of cows crossing the road in Tanah Merah. SWEET SIXTEEN became SWEET I TEEN. *sigh* But everyone loved the taste so I guess that’s what matters.
I wish you were here with us, Tian Leng.

Tien Meng here. I’m very sorry about Tien Leng. It was an absolute shock when my dad called me that morning. I’m still plagued by thoughts of whether things would’ve been different if I was still working in HKL.
I had not seen Tien Leng & yourselves for a few years now. It was nice to see the photos you posted. Tien Leng sure looked more a man rather than the boy I remember him by.
Anyway hope all of you are doing OK. Please take care.
