5th son named Max

Max carries importance as subject of this entry today, the tiny one came over and joined our family on night of 28th June, as the 5th son in the household. The latest member of our family, fresh delivery tonight to our home, my 5th son, 3 weeks old - yet to find a name for him, rottweiler + golden retriever mix, i traded 2 best-of-my-photo prints for this puppy. Now 7 of us. I hv done a list of 50names and top-picked one, this morning before ah Jun went to school he agreed with my pick, so that it has to be unanimous decision, 5 others must consent today to confirm it. Ah Dude is obviously very happy and excited with the little brother, he is literally drooling saliva all night, he will hv a companion brother to trek Mount Singai sundays in another 6months maybe. We will have some training to do for Max.

27th June 2009

I am marking this day with initial thoughts of late Father, 1964, 1967, 1968 and 1969 up until 19April and what happened after that eventful day. The records, documents, evidencce and recollections of events taking a turn. The truth will prevail, 40 years on.
