Sibu Tales : Uncles and Aunts

My father's siblings were all very close especially those who were living in Sibu.

Those who lived outside Sibu, namely Binatang and Singapore, and elsewhere would visit often, especially when my Grandfather was still alive.

When they visited each other, they would take photos for remembrance. This was a very nice practice, "for remembrance".

Thus my parents left us a few albums of photos for remembrance. I am glad they made "memories" for us and we remember every in their photos. What a great legacy in photographs.

 Here in this photo are some of the siblings visiting Third and Fifth Uncles in Bukit Aup, Kiong Ann Brickyard, my grandfather's last foray into business. He left the business to the sons. But unfortunately my father passed away two years after him. And two years later, Third Uncle also passed away.
