11 Sep 2011 – Happy Bdays to bro Steven & May Yung-Lam
2001: May, Kat & Dika were all living and working in Manhattan and trying to get on the phone or online that fatal day seemed to have taken forever. They were and are safe (only Kat still lives in Manhattan today). Could not bring myself to watch the news on TV or look at any the pix then as it was and still is too sad, inconceivable and speechless that such evil, destructive, malicious deeds could be carried out.
