THE HAPPIEST THING

2009-08-10T07:40:00.000-07:00

This blog

was created

to fulfill the final wish

of dear little Wen-ning

who had always wanted

her own personal blog

Unfortunately

she passed away

from a tragic car accident

at the young tender age

of 10 years .... and 10 months

Wen-ning was born

with 2 holes-in-the-heart

But over time

with lots of love & care

from everyone around her

..... the defects healed .....

and she was able

to lead a normal life

growing up

into a cheerful

and zestful little girl

....and creating

lots of joy and happiness

and sheer enlightenment

to everyone around her .....

To feel

and to connect with

the mesmerizing aura

that this sacred blog evokes

....just click on the video

and listen to Wen-ning's idol

singing her favourite song

.....The Happiest Thing

Today is August 10

it is Wen-ning's birthday

she would be 11 years old now

Happy Birthday ..... Wen-ning

you are really

THE HAPPIEST THING .........

WHEN YOU WERE A BABY ....

2009-08-09T02:21:00.000-07:00

When you were a baby

cries of hunger filled the air

we held you in our arms

and fed you milk and care

when you were a baby

we changed your nappies everyday

so that you are comfortable

and healthy down there

when you were a baby

we gave you warm baths daily

cleaning and wiping you

till you smiled gleefully

we cajoled you

and we played with you

everyday was a delight

like a brand new you

Sometimes you'll cry endlessly

and we'll hold you lovingly

singing you a lullaby

till you sleep like a baby

at times, your cries were scary

and it made us worry

....why are you crying ?

....why are you suffering ?

So off to the clinic we go

and it's just a minor ailment

....nothing to worry

erasing our predicament

When you were a baby

you were our pride & joy

our dear little darling

our cute little Wen-ning .......

TODDLING ALONG

2009-08-07T19:08:00.000-07:00

When you were a toddler

you don't have to crawl

for it's time to walk

and it's time to fall

and when you fell

we propped you up again

helping you to walk

so that things are not in vain

With each little step

that you moved forward

it gave you hope

you are not going backwards

And with each fall

that ended up in pain

it symbolizes the struggle

of enduring life again

And when you could run

it was so much fun

to see you being set free

amidst your playing spree ........

MY EVERYTHING

2009-08-06T00:38:00.000-07:00

... my little girl

CAN YOU STILL BE THERE ?

2009-08-01T22:31:00.000-07:00

If life is fair

you wouldn't go away

and leave us all

in sadness and despair

If life is fair

you would live another day

let us fulfill your wishes

and not just stop there

If life is fair

we'll still be one small family

you....daddy.....and mummy

living together ......happily

If life is fair

you'll always be there

in our hearts & in our soul

a priceless gem that can't be sold

If life is fair

you'll grow up one day

see your dreams come true

and enriching everyone too

...but life is not fair

you have been taken away

and we can only ask

can you still be there ?

HER WISHES

2009-07-30T19:12:00.000-07:00

In the past few weeks before her departure

Wen-ning wished for the following :

1) To be able to plant a papaya tree...and see it grow

2) To draw her favourite idol

3) To have a new pencil case

4) To have her own blog

5) To have her own laptop

6) To have a new and bigger bicycle

7) To play a game of draught and badminton

8) To walk with her best friend to secondary school

9) To score 7 As .....and go to university

10) To visit all the places she used to go in her younger days

11) To celebrate her 11th birthday on August 10

Wen-ning has gone .....

it is too late to fulfill her wishes now

And we can only regret

that we did not listened to her

....nor pay more attention to her

and gave her

the time and space

plus the little things

that she had wished for .....

If you have enjoyed reading this blog

.... and have made a connection to her

or perhaps

been moved by the contents

.... and have shed a tear or two

finding some similarities

in what this blog evokes

with your own life

..... and the lives of your kids

as well as

the lives of your loved ones .......

then please remember

to post your final comment

....and say a thoughtful prayer

to dear little Wen-ning ....

She may be gone

but the wonderful memories

and her lingering legacy

shall live on ......

THE ROLLING WAVES

2009-07-25T21:53:00.000-07:00

Like the sea waves

that arrive in unison

reaching the sea shore

then disappearing into the horizon

Life is like a big wave

.......that comes and go

Today it may be yes

tomorrow it may be no

So make the best

of what you have today

before fate decides to

take them all away ........

IF MIRACLES CAN HAPPEN

2009-07-21T23:59:00.000-07:00

If a flower is meant to bloom

why must you fade

and left us all ..... in gloom ?

If the sun can rise

after the morning dew

why must you say goodbye & adieu ?

If the rain can stop

and give an air of freshness

why do we end up with tears of sadness ?

If a child can grow up

be a teenager....and an adult

why can't you have the same result ?

If miracles can happen

why doesn't it happen now ?

KARMA .....AND CHARISMA

2009-07-15T05:56:00.000-07:00

We came to this world ..... as one

and leaved behind all the things we want

But when we give

we shall also receive

and the more we give

...the more we shall receive

All the good deeds that we do

the compassion that we show

the love & care that we share

shall translate

and blossom into an

abundance of good karma

and enrich our own charisma

Anyone can go to heaven

......just be good ...........

SPARE A THOUGHT

2009-07-08T04:15:00.001-07:00

As she walked down the beaten corridor

....she saw the handicapped man

without legs .....begging for help

The few adults

walking ahead of her

just walked faster......

on reaching the poor man

Yet

the young girl stopped

took out her Hello Kitty wallet

and gave a dollar to him

The money

was small change to those adults

But it was

what the girl had saved

from her school pocket-money

......over the past few days ......

And she gave it away

willingly.....whole-heartedly......compassionately

.......without thinking twice .......

.......and the young girl was

our beloved Wen-ning ........

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE LIGHT

2009-06-29T23:23:00.000-07:00

In the still of the night
where darkness prevails
...... the blind can still see

When lightning strikes
and the thunder explodes
....... the deaf can still hear

and when everyone yelled
.....in the big noisy stadium
the dumb can still whisper

miracles .....
can still happen

perhaps not in this life
but in the next life .....
..... in another life ......

So hold on
to your faith
and your love
for your loved ones

.... for at the end
of each and every tunnel
....there will always be light ....

WHAT GOOD IS MONEY ?

2009-06-29T23:00:00.000-07:00

Money can buy us food
and things that make us feel good

When we have a simple house
we want a big bungalow
then a mansion....and a palace

When we have a cheap car
we want a new BMW
then a Porsche .... and a Ferrari

When we travel by car
we want to fly
economy ....first class....private jet

When we have enough to eat
we'll always leave behind leftovers
and then want a 10-course dinner

When we have a hundred bucks
we want a hundred thousand
then a million....and tens of millions

But what is money
if it can't buy us happiness
..... just a life of sadness & emptiness ?

What good is money
if it can't buy our loved one's wishes
....... only to see the cremation ashes ?

Money only satisfy
our outside cravings
..... but not our inner being

It can't replace the gift of life
it can't bring back the one we love
what good is money ?

WHEN YOU WENT AWAY

2009-06-29T04:42:00.000-07:00

When you went away
our world tumbled down
All the laughter ......
turned into a sad frown

A part of us
just got ripped apart
leaving a gaping hole
when you depart

You were there
when we wanted you
....and we were there
when you needed us

....you were our only child
our pride and joy
we loved & cared for you
more than any girl or boy

Wen-ning .... please forgive us
for scolding and beating you
for disciplining you
and for disappointing you

We truly wanted you
to grow up into a better human
to mature .... from a girl
to a lady .... and a woman

Whatever we did
was for your own good
We gave you the best
toys, books, clothes and food

Most of all
we gave you care and love
and now you took it along
to heaven high above

Now that you are not here
things wouldn't be the same
you won't be beside us
no matter how loud we call your name

Our days are now empty
devoid of any meaning
We wake up in the morning
but there's no more Wen-ning

Our nights are now darker
our thoughts are now weaker
we tried to put the pieces together
but they just don't gel and gather

Wen-ning ....words cannot describe
the flow of our tears
and the pain that
we'll endure throughout the years

For 11 wonderful years
we had bitter-sweet memories
those fleeting moments we will cherish
even though a life has perished

So many things we wanted to do
So many things we wanted to show you
So many things we wanted to teach you
.... but we can't .....not anymore .....

We regret for not listening to you
We are sorry for not paying attention to you
..... but it's too late now ....
how can we ever start anew ?

You left us for a new home
A place with urns and tombs
where angels lurk ...and doves fly
a place that don't need to say goodbye

A place that's lovely and painless
a sanctuary where time is endless
a park that's always in eternity
its heaven above ..... in perpetuity

LIFE IS A DESTINATION

2009-06-21T06:44:00.000-07:00

Life is a destination

Sometimes we reach it

..... sometimes we don't

And along the way

we come across roadblocks

......roadhumps and various obstacles

that made us wonder

is the destination worth reaching ?

is the destination worth toiling ?

....and most of all

Can we make it till the end ?

A NATURAL GIRL

2009-06-20T00:39:00.000-07:00

Wen-ning likes nature

..... the beautiful flowers

..... the tweety-birds

..... the greenery

..... the hills beyond

..... the beaches

LIFE IS A JOURNEY ......

2009-06-20T00:23:00.000-07:00

Life is a journey

Full of joy and happiness

marred with tears and sadness

Filled with trials and tribulations

achievements and congratulations

Most of the time

the journey is long

Yet sometimes

the journey is short

......extremely short

So we have to do today

what we always wanted to do tomorrow

.....as sometimes

tomorrow never comes

and it would be too late to regret .....

PAPA BIRTHDAY

2009-06-20T00:13:00.000-07:00

Wen-ning may not be bright in school

....she may not remember all her

science and mathematics subjects

But when it comes to birthdays

she can always remember .....

That's the beauty of Wen-ning

who wrote on the calender on June 20

....... papa birthday ........

WINNING LIKE WEN-NING

2009-06-18T02:16:00.000-07:00

Wen-ning is always winning

to be the tallest and the slimmest

..... not yet 11 years old .....

but already 5 feet 3 inches tall

reaching for the sky

and touching heaven above ......

THE GRACE OF THE DOLPHINS

2009-06-18T01:55:00.000-07:00

Like the cute & lovely dolphins

that swims ...... gracefully in the vast ocean

and then darts out ..... upwards

in a gleeful and carefree manner

..... turning and somersaulting

creating a spell-binding moment

for all of us to cherish ......

Wen-ning harbours the wish

of being able to swim too .......

FOREVER TILL ETERNITY ......

2009-06-17T06:17:00.000-07:00

Lotus symbolizes purity

It also evokes sincerity

Where hopes become reality

....forever till eternity .......

WHEN THE SUN ...... SETS ..........

2009-06-17T05:46:00.000-07:00

When the sun sets ..... it marks the end of the day

It means the end of a chapter ....... when time stood still

When the sun sets ..... it means the end of an era ......

where hopes and aspirations just fade away

.....and dreams ..... remain as dreams ......

Yet .....as the sun sets into the horizon

It also marks the beginning

of a new day .....a new chapter.....a new era

that's filled with lingering memories

And it is up to us

to cherish and treasure these memories

......and differentiate between when

the sunset ..... and the rise of dawn .....

GOODBYE ..... AND FAREWELL ........

2009-06-16T02:05:00.000-07:00

This blog was created

for the memory of Wen-Ning

who passed away on 11th June 2009

..... at the tender age of 11 .....

A life was lost

A very tragic loss

A young girl has gone

yet will now be reborn

A zestful little one

that's always full of fun

A cheerful, loving friend

who don't ask why or when

A girl that's full of sweetness

with an aura of true pureness

.....but she has said goodbye

only memories shall live by

And as we shed a tear or two

and say farewell to her too

Deep in our hearts .... we all know

she's still with us & never really go

Wen-ning .....please take good care

Be strong .....and be brave up there

We love you ....Wen-ning

We will miss you

God shall bless you .........
