As a new year begins, some names remain written in our hearts forever. Though you are no longer here, your voice echoes in my memories, your smile lives in my thoughts, and your love still surrounds me. You are deeply missed, always loved, and never forgotten 🤍✨

Yes, I'm human and I will continue to share Raphael's stories if they can uplift those who are down.

“You’re still grieving?”
Yes. I am.

Sorry if that makes you uncomfortable.
Sorry if you don’t understand.

But grief doesn’t magically disappear after 12 months, or any timeline someone else has decided is “long enough.”

Grief changes, yes — but it doesn’t end.

It becomes part of who you are. It weaves itself into your story.

Some days I laugh. Some days I cry. Some days I do both at the same time.

Grief isn’t a phase I’m trying to “get over.”
It’s love that has nowhere to go.
It’s memories that still live inside me.
It’s missing someone who will always matter.

So if you’re wondering — yes, I’m still grieving.

And honestly, I always will.
Because the people I lost are still a part of who I am.

Because love like that doesn’t just disappear.
And because real grief isn’t something you move past — it’s something that shapes you.

If you’ve never experienced this, I’m genuinely happy for you.

But for those of us who have — just know you’re not broken.

You’re not “too much.”
You’re simply human.
And you’re doing better than you think.

When others said that I was too strict with Raphael...

To my child,
When I give you advice, it’s not because I know everything.

It’s because I’ve been through things I pray you’ll never have to face.
I’ve failed, been hurt, betrayed, and used and I
don’t want you to learn the hard way like I did.

Every word comes from love, not from pride.

This explains why I don't have any interest now because of the lack of Raphael's presence.

Some people leave this world, yet never truly leave our hearts.
Time moves on — months, years, celebrations — but their memory stays stitched into every moment.
Each smile I wear hides a quiet ache, a whisper of “I miss you” beneath every laugh.
Their love remains the soft echo behind every candle’s glow, every silent night, every tear that turns into gratitude.
Because their presence, once here, was a kind of beauty no celebration could ever match. 💫

This fifth year of your departure was the hardest reality as we never have a chance to bid goodbye.

Forever missing my sweet loved ones in Heaven 🌸

Throwback to 30th September, we met up with the Producer of "Remembering Me". She joyfully announced that the technological documentary had won 2 prestigious international award. "Remembering Me - Finale" is the 3rd Episode, https://www.mewatch.sg/watch/Remembering-Me-E3-Part-3-446306, which summed up the final products on the 4 portfolios.
When the Producer announced the result to Raphael in front of his niche, my eyes almost dampen. It is like imagining Raphael receiving the silver awards with the hall filled with thunderous applause. The same feeling happened in 2017 when Raphael returned to school after amputation of his arm, he was bestowed a ALPS Warrior. He received the award and the whole hall applauded which drowned the citation being read out.
Congratulations to the CNA team and the tech firms for the achievements.
