I attended funeral wake of the mother of a close family friend of my wife, Ms. Wong. I was given instructions to contribute on behalf of my brothers-in-law since they were out of town.
I was with one of my wife’s sisters, who was also given instructions to do the necessary on behalf of her sisters who were unable to attend.
Ms. Wong, ever helpful and efficient, started to write our names out. I could not believe it when she wrote for me, Mr. Lee S___ P___! I have tolerated friends or relatives of my wife, who unintentionally called me Mr. Lee, but Ms. Wong has known me for almost 30 years and I think her mistake was a result of my living in the shadow of my wife for far too long.
Ms. Wong used to be a nurse cum PA of the late Dr. Tan Chee Khoon. Her sister's son, Alun Yun, is a well known model and up and coming film star. His latest film is considered a sequel to Sepet. Close friends and relatives know him better as "the postman" which I think must have been his first acting experience in an advertising clip.
