My grandfather's certificates...

Well, my family went to my grandfather's old house (where I used to stay when I was young) to clear up his stuff. And among the gems they found were his marriage certificate to my grandmother and both my grandparents birth certificates as well. The only thing they couldn't find was the "passport" needed to travel around when the Japanese troops were in Singapore. Yup, during the Syonan period, you need some sort of a traveling pass to get around Singapore, if not you'll get dragged away to the Kempeitai for questioning. I remembered my grandfather showing that pass to us when he was still alive. But still, it's quite a disappointment that this particular pass wasn't found..

Anyway, I've scanned all 3 of the certificates into my PC and just waiting to be uploaded here. But first, I've yet to post up the pre-Christmas decorations at my working place. So these will go up first instead, so stay tuned to this blog!!
