亲爱的幂儿，

爸爸发现，渐渐的把你的日记，写成自己的日记了哈哈。没事，就当爸爸分享不同的记忆和瞬间，可能对你会有些启发也说不定。

那时妈妈买了一个帐篷，蛮大的，放在爸爸马来的房间，爸爸记得那时我们在选哪一个小动物，小朋友时能住进去时，幂儿好开心。

那时，幂儿在楼下还有一个黄色的帐篷，里面也有幂儿慢慢的毛毛动物，有时爸爸出去工作时，奶奶会让你在里面睡午觉。因为新加坡的家空间不够了，妈妈时常笑说，把爷爷的家当作储存室.

爸爸祝幂儿，永远都有自己的小小天地，就像你在帐篷里看到的世界。

亲爱的幂儿，

128是个好数字，也是爸爸妈妈的结婚的纪念日。让爸爸和幂儿分享那美丽的夜晚。从Wonderful Tonight，这首歌说起。爸爸和妈妈刚约会时，有去巴厘岛玩，那时候在海边的餐厅吃饭时。有歌手拿着guitar让人点歌，来到我们这桌，那时妈妈点了一首，Bruno Mars的歌，因为很新，那位歌手还没学会，爸爸马上点了Wonderful Tonight. 爸爸很喜欢的一首歌. 后来在婚礼上，其中一首，就有它。爸爸很喜欢里面的歌词和旋律.

爸爸记得那时有不少不同国家的好朋友来到我和妈妈的婚礼，有荷兰，澳洲，泰国，中国，马来西亚，加上新加坡，非常有心和爱的夜晚。

看看现场：爸爸相信幂儿长大后，可能连幂儿有孩子时，这个地点，还会在，因为那晚是在，”Night at the Museum”里庆祝的。

爸爸记得这瞬间和里面的话，照片面是爸爸和外公的手和妈妈的，拿相机的是爸爸的好朋友，照片里的男人都有一颗柔软的心。

那时在婚礼，有发表爱的宣言，爸爸特别紧张，还好看到姥姥，顺利的讲完了。那时爸爸和妈妈演讲在家排练了几会，用了一个金色麦克风。想起来也蛮好笑的。

爸爸祝福每一位在我和妈妈的 Wonderful Tonight婚礼里过人,

幸福快乐，享受着人间的感动和爱。

Dear Rheia,

Among our customers and good friends around the world, there is one family who came from Netherland or Holtlant (wood land in old Dutch term) who has interesting stories with us.

The first visit was their father, who came in a fancy sunglasses, serious looking at first but full of humor later 🙂 Once he was in our warehouse, he move around quickly, Daddy and Grandpa was puzzled, we are the specialist of our wood, most of the customers usually will have a general “overview” of our thousands pieces of wood(may take many days to inspect all our wood in stock) then they will sit down to discuss the price.

The sunglasses man pick up a few pieces up and quickly move to another batch multiple times. Daddy went to him and asked “Dear Friend, what are you looking for, perhaps i can help you in finalizing the size of wood you need.”

That Sunglasses uncle, immediately begin to pick up few pieces of wood quickly and randomly give Daddy some lottery number “6,5,7,9,4,8,7,9,10” He was teaching Daddy about grading our wood using his standard.

In our early days, we have a general mix of wood between good and bad, not focusing much to precisely ranking as natural products are always “One and Only”. Being a Bruce Lee Fan, Daddy quickly grab random pieces of wood after him, saying out loud Daddy’s set of lottery number : “2,3,7,8,6,9,8,7”

“You know what i want” he said to Daddy, Daddy then replied “I will grade your container and you will get something average of 7 and above” We sealed the first deal, which continue for more than ten years until today.(He was very happy and forgot his sunglasses on our table, me and grandpa drive and pass to him)

Some years later, came his Son and Daughter, whom i always joke around, “your Dad teaches me his Ranking system” and i am part of your group external network. I like them both plus the old man, we had fruitful relationship over the years.

So my Dear Rheia, in life if you have awareness on thinking and emotions, sometimes you can attach yourself to groups that exert an upward pull.
