The last of this branch of Ongs

I've always liked this family portrait of my grandfolks, my dad and his siblings (the only one missing here is Auntie Siew Eng who I think was married by then). My dad is the tallest one at the back.

And hence you behold the last of this line of Ongs. Only my aunts have sons, and neither are Ong. The rest of us cousins are girls, so our kids will be unlikely to be surnamed Ong as well. Not that I'm for the patriarchal system of passing family names from father to son, just that it's interesting to note.
