Pat, please accept our deepest condolences.

The polo obsession - Dad loved Ralph Lauren Polo shirts. They were bright, bold and had giant horses as logos. Every time we took a trip to the US he would buy one and model it in front of the children. We would tell him he already had that color, but he would say he either had a long or short sleeve version and it was a different shirt!

Translation to Danny Chan song in Media folder (one of dad's favorites)

This is a famous song from the 80s and we always made fun of dad for having it on rotation as tape, then cd in the car. We didn't get as far as a digital version though as he insisted on paying more for a tape deck in his last car!

The song according to my crappy Cantonese listening skills is about how we should reflect on our lives and what we lost is what we long for. This is such a sad song...

一生何求 [What one wants in life] - Danny Chan 陳百強 {Cantonese 89}

How can the rotation of cold and warm stop?
How many years have gone?
Searching for so long but still lost
Holding in hands are those I don’t want.

What really have I got?
No way to explain gain or lost.
React just on hearsay evidence.
Have no idea what should explore.

What is life for?
Always weighing to take or drop
Spending all my life,
but the answer still passed me by.

What is life for?
In perplexity, nothing can be aware of.
It’s unexpected that what I’ve lost
is all I got.

What is life for?
Struggled and withdrawn.
All those vivid colors in dreams
are uncatchable when they’re gone.

What is life for?
Who cares about boos and applauses?
It’s unexpected that what I’ve lost
is all I got.

一生何求

冷暖那可休　回頭多少個秋
尋遍了卻偏失去　未盼卻在手
我得到沒有　沒法解釋得失錯漏
剛剛聽到望到便更改
不知那裡追究*
**一生何求　常判決放棄與擁有
耗盡我這一生　觸不到已跑開

一生何求　迷惘裡永遠看不透
沒料到我所失的竟已是我的所有**

一生何求　曾妥協也試過苦鬥
夢內每點繽紛　一消散那可收
一生何求　誰計較讚美與詛咒
沒料到我所失的竟已是我的所有
