0/0/1918

All those born before a particular year have no record of their date of birth if they can no longer remember it, or was never told when they were born. That leaves you any date to celebrate your birthday :)



I'm glad there was a way to ease your pain before your passing, and how adamant that we would never leave you alone at any point. I'm glad I made you smile as I held your hand just before things took a different turn.

You left a legacy behind, something we can all learn from. You worked your way up from just the clothes on your back, selling WWII rations on the black market, laundering for the Japanese, played a part in the British Air Force.. It's all so astounding. It'd be difficult to work up to barely a fraction of what you've achieved.

Singh Tailor will forever remain an icon in Changi, and the respect you commended will never be forgotten.

Please watch over Nani while you're up there, she misses you the most.
