The men in my life



No, this is not a comment on homosexuality.

It is about father-figures in my life.

Or the lack of it.

A list of substitute fathers in my life. I guess, taken together, they make up the role model I needed at various points.

First Uncle - Confucian

Second Uncle - Resourceful

Third Uncle - Charismatic

Fourth Uncle - Stoic

Fifth Uncle - Cynical

Mr Francis - Civic-mindedness

SHC - Street-smarts

Mr Ngin - Friendliness

EC - PR skills

Uncle Chan - Generous

CK - Forgiving

Well, now that I'm a father.

How shall I do this? Perhaps taking examples from each and every one of those men that influenced my life. Forgive me the mistakes that I will make and grant me strength to see things through to the end.
