Reunited and It Feels so Good

Thank you Lord for helping me to find the "missing link" that has been in the state of oblivion for the past 40 years and bless a great friend who'd helped me so much...(you are da man,Abdul Latiff)

For the whole of yesterday,all my attention was focused on a "reunion" that was about to take place at the wake of my late uncle, I was seriously hoping for a c"complete reunion' the one that everyone would "bury the pass", the one that everyone would be so eager and happy to see one another.

Indeed,it was a great reunion,even the one who said that "it was hard" for him to be there,appeared and there wasn't a slightest feeling of "resentment" in the air, even one of my aunties who is too feeble to walk,insisted that she wanted to be  there just to meet her sister in law and her nephews and niece that was "separated" by "some mistakes incurred by  a man" 40 years ago.

Last night,I really felt as if I was Neil Armstrong, a small step of mine but conquering the hearts of all my family members( my mom's sides), I was indeed overjoyed,my mom was happy,just like my other aunts, all my cousins were like ecstatic about 'who is who?"

Deep inside my heart, I knew that God has brought down all the hates, all the resentments from my cousins,simply because I could sense that they were so forgiving and their hearts were so open and I am glad that just like me,they have a God who is ever so forgiving as well. Thank you Lord

The two cousins that I have not met for 40 years, looking at the picture, I would think we do share some resemblance.

P/S : Please don't wait for a dead man to reconcile us..........Reconcile Now

Too dear a mistake

My deceased uncle in the later part of his living years, really wanted to see his children of whom he had not met for almost 40 years, I knew that was his intention about 15 years or so ago,when he told me so...but it never became a "wish came through for him"

So today,with some help from a great friend and with some divine intervention,I managed to locate my cousin of whom I have not met for 40 years.The timing was just right,I received the infos about 12.15 pm and I happened to be somewhere there and my long lost cousin happened to be back for lunch break...

As soon as I came out from the lift,I saw one man walking towards the lift,I just got the strong hunch that it had got to be my cousin so on the pretext of asking him,"hello, can I know where is unit 6-2 ?" He asked me why,then I showed him the SMS my friend sent to me,I said,"I am looking for a Yeng Boon Tai" Thank God, the atmosphere was cordial.

Looking even more perplexed,he asked why was I looking for a Yeng Boon Tai, I explained that I was there to carry out my uncle's last wish, I was so sure that he was my uncle's son and without beating round the bush,I asked him if he was indeed Yeng Boon Tai, he conceded.

So from the lift lobby,he walked me to his unit, he said he did not have a slightest idea who I was, I said I could understand that after all the last time we played together was like 40 years ago.

He called to his mom,then I saw her and I quickly identified myself, she was as lost,so I told her I was "Ah Koi" (my mom's Cantonese name) son, then she suddenly said,"so you are Ah Long,right?" I was so happy when she invited me into her house.

I explained to her my reason of appearing in front of them out of the blues and after 40 years, she said she could understand, then she began to share with me why she decided to leave my uncle ( I am not going to divulge my late uncle's misdeeds ) and I could see she was crying by then but then she continued...

For over 40 years, she worked hard to raised her family without a single help from my deceased uncle, she chose not to remarry and she said as for now,she had harbored no hatred against my deceased uncle anymore since she became a Christian and I asked her,sincerely if I could still call her,"Ah Kim" she said okay,I held on to her hands,gave her a hug and we both cried a little and I said sorry on behalf of my deceased uncle.

Now back to my cousin, I asked him if he could just go and pay his last respect to his "bad" father,he told me honestly that he could not do it. I told him I could understand his feeling and I was not trying to coax him into agreeing with me either after all, he was made "without a father" when he was only 9 years old.

I asked my cousin before I left,if he was all right if I would buy him and his family,together with mine and my mom a dinner and I so happy that he agreed.

Note : My deceased Uncle was tall and handsome back then and he always liked me too...and man,please don't make expensive mistakes when you are young and handsome.....you might not be young anymore to "undo the wrongs"

永远无法祢铺到的歉悔
