Finally, Ms Fung and Vincent got hitched. The wedding ceremony was simple, yet meaningful as the couple planned it with an evangelistic theme. A few of the All Saints teachers were there and some of the students too. We met Julius' parents - We introduced ourselves to them. J's mother could vaguely recall meeting me whereas J's dad could hardly remember talking to dad at all - so blur - talk about early memory loss! So dad has more powerful memory prowress!! That's his strength.
After lunch, we returned to Krugma House for SS briefling. Dad was hungry - as it was 3.30 by then- so we decided to drive to Lintas shops for some tea. As we quequed to take a U-turn, we spotted a rodent crossing the road - dad muttered -"Run it down, run it down!" as he tried mentally to will the drivers before us to run down that rodent. Each time, a car missed it, dad would exclaim, "Aiyah!" Fortunately, as much twists and turns, and by sheer luck, the rodent managed to survive the wheels of all those cars. It crouched timidly under the car just infront of us. Long life lah!! Then just as we turned the corner, we heard a sickening "PLOP". It was as if someone has blown a plastic bag and quashed it. We looked at each other - "Did we..... can't be!" I turned backed - and saw a red spot on the road. "Honey - that's blue murder..." Dad looked shamefaced - ashen " I have sinned..." he blurted ... end of story. It didn't spoil his appetite though...

dad... you shouldn;t have had such ill wishes toward that poor rodent... in fact I should think you would look at it fondly and think of your youngest son... who was born the year of the rat!
That why I said "I have sinned !"
