Today is the 3rd day of my late maternal grandpa, Joseph Chee's funeral wake..

Our entire family have been busy at my late maternal grandpa, Joseph Chee's wake these past 3 days..

(We've published the obituary in today's The Straits Times newspaper, dated today -15th of January 2011)

We have 2 more days to go as his funeral mass, followed by his cremation will be held this coming Monday, 17th of January 2011..

We have so many relatives (Singaporeans; Malaysians & others..), friends & loved ones visiting these past 3 days..

Just yesterday, my aunts were mentioning that it doesn't seem like it's a funeral wake, but a celebration instead.. LOL.. =P

We all thought it sounds quite appropriate anyway, as we, who believe in God, believe that my maternal grandpa has gone back to heaven, thus, we should be celebrating instead of mourning! :)

Here are a few photos I took via my iPhone 4 32GB of my late maternal grandpa, Joseph Chee's wake..

*The following photos may be a little discomforting for some people..*

My family & I all agree that out of all the flower bouquets we've received, my company sent the biggest & the nicest among all! :)

Our family catered buffet meals daily @ the wake.. for ourselves & also all the visitors..

How cool is that..

The food we catered was from Peng Restaurant..

There were different menus for each day & the food was good..

Here's 2 snapshots I took via my iPhone 4 32GB of my mum & my maternal grandma helping themselves to the food.. ;d

My maternal grandpa, Joseph Chee... 1921-2011

My maternal grandpa has passed away peacefully this morning..

My mum SMSed me at 8am this morning, mentioning that she was rushing down to my aunt Cynthia's residence @ Edgefield Plains, Punggol, where my maternal grandparents were also residing..

She mentioned that my maternal grandpa was not responding in anyway..

At 11am plus, the doctor came & certified that my maternal grandpa has passed away peacefully at 10am plus..

I was sadden by the news as I love my maternal grandparents lots & the same goes for them..

Now my maternal grandpa has left us..

But our greatest consolation is that he has lived a very fulfilled life & has even fulfilled his last simple wish of celebrating his 90th birthday recently on the 1st of January 2011 this year..

I also thank God that I persisted on going to visit him last evening & managed to see him for the very last time before he left us..

Rest in peace, "kong kong"..

Miss you & Love you forever..

Till we meet again..
Went to visit my maternal grandpa again yesterday..

It pains me to see his condition deteriorating..

He's now just left with skin & bones..

He has not been able to eat & can't seem to be able to open his eyes..
