This post is a continuing story of Mom explained at the bottom of the last post about her found here.
This music is from the soundtrack of a movie that we enjoyed as a family called 'Prince Caspian' from the Chronicles of Narnia. I am always inspired by certain music that will ring in my ear at certain times of my life for certain occasions and this is one of them for her birthday on this day. The lyrics 'You'll come back when it's over, No need to say good bye' rings in my ear.
The music would rekindle memories or feelings I have in my heart and pictures or videos would soon be linked to the music as will be shared below that one can view or read as the music video above continues to play :
Here is a blog pic that Han posted many years ago of Mom in her dream car for her birthday. Note the comments made in the blog post then that is now more familiar in facebook today that didn't exist yet in those days.
(Post-dated development on January 20, 2014 : Note that in reviewing this blog posted on April 04. 2013 that extracts a blog post from April 04,2005 to be posted below, I found that the original link in my comments at 3.20pm was no longer valid or working as the originator of the earlier link had changed the web content. I have on this date altered this blog post to provide another link. One can see the original link by clicking on the blogpost date index of 2005 April provided at the top right of this blog to look for the post title "Happy Birthday to the Singapore Girl in her dream" and click it.
I have added comments at the bottom of the old post of April 05, 2005 to explain my time travel exercise to correct something that I had found had changed in later years. I could not edit the old comments made and hence just added new comments to give the new link and explained what I did. I however could modify the comments in the extract below to provide the new valid link as I have access to the html codes of this entire blog post but not the html codes of the comments section of old post controlled by owners of blooger.com that has changed hands to Goggle today. For a short cut to see the original post with the new comments, just click here. )

We have celebrated her birthday in many different places such as the botanic gardens listening to the Singapore Symphony Orchestra as blogged here.
When we couldn't get together, we even celebrated her birthday online through the internet! This was the birthday she acquired the title of 'Unstoppable Mom' as per the post here.
We had to visit her again on her birthday month.
The location of her memorial plaque in Mandai is described in this post.
Here is a video clip of Mom opening her 50 letters on her 50th Birthday in 2012, filmed by Su when she made a surprise visit then and uploaded by her just recently, shared in facebook :

Then, if Shuan succeeds in becoming a scientists when he grows up, he'll invent a shrink ray and make you smaller to fit into it haha....
oh wait, he should make an enlargement ray so he can make that car bigger heeheehee
Whatever the size, make sure the engine is working, hahaha.
To release the next surprise, here is the blog that the perfectionist Singapore girl would not release yet. Check out http://lioncitygirl.blogspot.com

Hope all is going well for you.

I was the District Councilman for the China Shanghai Internaitonal District with responsibility for the Nanjing Branch. The Branch President there, Pres. Yu, said that a certain Sis Chong was there for a while. I guessed it must have been one of your girls. Not sure which one.
We'll be home this summer to send our oldest girl to college. Let's find some time to get together. It's been a while, hasn't it.
Soo Kee: Take care. Talk to you later.
