In loving memory of my beloved wife

It was 1998 when you came back from school with a "black forrest" cake. It was for my birthday. I always "complained" that since my birthday always falls on chinese new year and no one will bother to celebrate with me.. It was really a casual complaint for no reason. But you had given me a surprise which I remembered till now. I had never mentioned to you that I remembered the event till now. I still can remember clearly what you had said to me when you put on the candles and lit them. I did not remember now if I had said thank you, but I believed I had. But dear, thank you for your thoughts and loves. I remember! I do not think I will remember any other years' birthday as there would be no celebration as normal, except this one!

Sometimes in May, I was down with chicken pox. I was told by my mother that I had it before but I did not know why I had the second attack of chicken pox later at 27 years old. It was rather a bad and serious infection as there were pox on whole body and I was kind of require d isolation. You had been there with me although I had requested you not to bed beside me. But you insisted to be with me for the two weeks periods till I recovered and get back to work. Thanks, my dear! I owed you for taking care on me ever since you become my girl friend and wife later.

I went to Irvine, CA in August '98 for a short trip. We had an argument on the first day of my arrival due to an issue of my side. I made a continous call which costed RM500 ++ for explanation and affirmation. It was my fault. I did not remember what presents that I had brought home. I could only remembered some mineral crystal. Eventually, you picked me up at the airport and I still remembered which suit you were in. You were in light green.. I am sorry. I am!

You had been always wanted me to leave KL due to some reasons. And I was really not performing well in that company and so I applied for a job in Intel Penang and eventually successful. It was you who accompanied me to the interview where we stayed in "agora hotel" (I hope it is still there now). The interview took place for three hours and you had been patiently waited inside the car.. After the interview, we drove down to KL as you were in school holiday and so you could stay together with me at the KL rented house. The next day, you rang me for the good news of successful interview as the HR personel had called to the house phone and you had answered her.

In December, you informed me of pregnancy. It was not as expected but we were overjoy and thanks for the gift. I once claimed that it must be the baby who has brought luck to me for changing to a new job. Well, it was, It was Intel that significantly changed my working experiences, exposure, habit etc. I also had the boom in the PC side business in year 1999 as I had opened up a cyber cafe shop. In this month also, I needed to prepare for the relocation to Penang and you had been there accompanying me for all the transition needed, including locating a room, moving the items, stay together with me for my first day of work in Intel on 1/1/1999. I would remember this for life as I need to work on the new year. And I had you with me.
