Mrs. Poh Tiang Siew nee Madam Yeo Choo Neo (Bukit Brown)

How we remember stories of past can also be based on recent encounters that help refresh memories of past encounters. A chance encounter recently with Angeline Kong helped refresh Raymond Goh's memory of how he helped Angeline reconnect with her great grandmother and they have a video to prove it as well ! It started with a vivid dream by Angeline of her ancestors tomb and every since that dream, she was on a quest to find her ancestor tomb and the rest of the story is well documented in a youtube video from 2013. 

Thanks to Raymond Goh, i manage tag along today to revisit his steps and also of course the tomb of Mrs. Poh Tiang Siew nee Madam Yeo Choo Neo to see her tomb once again. The tomb, has since been "upgraded" after the encounter (if you watch the video, you can see the before) and maintained till today thanks to the descendant's
