Bye Bye Lau Chew Ma (1911-2007)

Lau- Chew- Ma went home to be with the Lord - midnight of Valentines day.
She is 96.

Though our meetings are brief ( I only see her CNY, birthdays, weddings in Muar ), and with the little Teo- Chew i can speak, she is quite a character of her own. At 96, her mind is sharp, so don't you dare try to bluff her, because she remembers. The many great grand children that she has, it's amazing she can recall the names and which kid belongs to whom. "Puay Si, Siam Koong kai!" ( Puay Si, Siam Koon's kid ), that's me!

Here's a memorable image of her before our granddad's birthday dinner a year ago, getting her hair done at the old folks home. So it's true. Women of all ages want to look pretty.

I guess this is the best gift that God can bestow her.

A chinese new year reunion of 5 generations to send her home.
