Read!

This morning when I was reading the  newspaper, I realized that it is a habit I picked up from my Father.  Like him, I would read the newspaper page by page everyday without fail.  Also like him, I like to place the newspaper on the table and turn the pages one by one. I remember when I was in secondary school, he would place the newspaper in front of me and commanded me "Read, it is good for you, you can improve your English".  Then I would grudgingly read some pages.  Once in a while he would ask me "What did you read just now? What news?" When I could not give a satisfactory reply, he would then place the newspaper in front of me again and commanded again, "Read!"

A part of our family home

These 2 paintings and the small side table were retrieved from Father and Mother's house of 52 years after it was sold and abandoned.  We moved into the house in 1961 and it was sold after father's passing on 25 Jan 2013.  Still feeling sad about losing our family home.  These 3 items will always remind me of our family home and my life with my parents when I was young.
