Ten feet under and upside down™

by on Aug.07, 2009, under Day by Day...

Dad hasn’t been sleeping well lately. Always waking up every night, at the time you always do, to make breakfast for us. I miss your loud footsteps outside my door. Always checking if i’m asleep or not. :’) He painted the house today, since you were always complaining of that stupid green. Yea, i know it was ugly. It’s light blue now though, your favourite colour. 

We’re talking now, me and pope. Everything’s gonna go the way you always wanted. I promise. 

Anyway, I realised i’ve been to tons of countries. My last one with you, which i still have loads of memories was Sydney. That’s why I’m going there again. To get away from things maybe? But whatever it is, I’ll be safe, I promise.

I saw you the other night, and how i wish you hadn’t left. 

I’ll be at Mandai to see you again later. I love you.

    It is always hard to let go. If you need someone to talk to, someone away from the media, someone outside of your circle, to help you through this difficult time, do drop me a mail.

    Dear Joshua
    I guess it will take a long long time to heal … It is never easy to lose someone so dear, so suddenly. I am glad that you are learning to take it in stride and live on bravely. Do be strong, as you journey through life. I am sure your mummy dearest is always with you. Always. Pl take good care.

    The feeling of losing a loved one is a feeling one can never get over. Yeah, been through that. Know how you feel. Tears rolled down my cheek when i read this post, Joshua.

    The LORD gave this command to Joshua son of Nun: “Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land I promised them on oath, and I myself will be with you.”
    Deuteronomy 31:23

    Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
    Joshua 1:9

    Speaks much about you, huh. Be strong joshua. He’ll make your path straight. Take a break, take care of yourself in Sydney. It’s a beautiful place, where serenity is present.

  38. yun

    Take a break. Look at Sydney, at the skies, at the people, at your heart, at your memories, at your mom, and at you.

    I believe, that your mom is still here with you. Though not physically. But spiritually. Hope you will brace yourself up. I’m not asking you not to grieve, but 加油。堅強一點,我們愛你。

    Hi Joshua

    My late condolences and sympathies on the recent passing of your beloved mum. I can empathize what you are going through now, as I too always have the fear on how am I going to cope if my elderly folks will to leave me one of these days. We all have to experience this dark moment once in our life time. However, do not be dispair, you have your family, many friends and fans who will give you the full support, just like me. Always tell yourself, she is in your heart, and she will be up there watching you ;-)

    I am always impressed with your acting since your movies namely Money Not Enough, the young boy, The Table Tennis serial, and your most recent interview with Quan Yi Feng and Guo Liang.

    Smile more young man, you look great with your bright and cheerful smile!!! May all your dreams come true and Peace Be With You…

    Always your fan
