Serious Lao Zoe’s Mummy UpLorry

[Balls2U]

The sad reality for Samsters in our 50s and 60s is that our parents may have passed on or will do so soon. We also may not have that much time on our side.

You should consider yourself fortunate if your parents are in their late 80s like Lao Zoe. Everyone has to surrender NRIC one day. I'm happy to have lived through the 70s to the 90s. So nothing to be sad about. We didn't asked to come into this world. So when we depart, just leave everything behind and go.

Like you, I consider myself fortunate to have lived through the 1970s and 80s as a child and teen. Those were the good old days when even a PME couple like my parents could raise me and my siblings in a landed home, where we could play in a spacious front and back lawn.

SINGAPORE – Local actress Zoe Tay mourned her late mother in a social media post on Dec 1.

Tay, 57, wrote in Chinese: “She never expressed her love, but poured love into every little moment of her daily life. With her lifelong kindness, she taught me to treat the world gently. May you rest in peace, mum. I am missing you silently every day.”

The “Ah Jie” (Big Sister) of Singapore television also included hashtags such as #MissingYou, #GratefulForYourNurturing and #TheGiantInMyHeart in the post.

This is her step-mother.
