recalls

as i was watchin the TV showin the cermony of the cremation of the Late President of singapore - Mr. Wee Kim Wee... many feelings hav overwhelmed mi.. his contributions n his commitement to his family, friends n citizens of spore has touch my heart.. it isnt easy being a high authority person who still can b humble n from his heart.. willing to reach out n make ppl feel that they are impt to him as he is impt to them.. intergity, honesty, humble, a person with critical thinkin and willing to reach out to help its people.. is wat i gathered from the news.. all praises is all we could hear from ppl of all woks of life.. his simply yet meaningful actions hav touched many ppl n i believed ppl will continue to hav his spirit and carry on w life.. upon hearin the 'speech' made by his son and his grand-daughters especially.. i could understand how they feel as i oso experienced the loss of mi Grandfather whom we like to call him 'Ah Gong'

the time that he passed away was when i was in primary fri.. i could rmb how the news had shocked mi.. i was waken up at abt 6 in the mornin whenmy mum tell mi that ah gong has passed away.. i was shocked n i didnt wat to do.. i went back to my room along w my sister.. i went to hug the pillow that i was fought w mi ah gong.. the pillow was hard but the two of us like it pretty much.. i was coverin myself w my blanket n started to sob.. b4 7am we left home to my ah gong house in aljunied.. actuali on this day.. ah gong has promised me that he will fetch mi to school for my computer lesson at abt 10am.. but this promise was nvr fulfilled.. ;_;

on the day when ah gong was huo hua.. its was children's day.. the weather was wet.. the clouds are followin us.. the sky becum to drizzle a little.. it made mi recall the time when my ah ma was gonna huo hua.. the sky was covered w grey clouds n big droplets of rain cum fallin down.. but i couldnt feel anything except that i hav lost a ver dear person who is impt to my life.. they doted n pampered me.. brought mi around and play w mi.. made good food that tamed my tummy.. gosh.. they hav reali made a sigifiant impact in my life..

ah gong was actuali stayin in our home in yishun as mi mum n dad feel that we could take care of him better than if he were to b back at aljunied.. cos in aljunied there were no one to look after him.. i remembered that i was in the afternoon session for that year.. and so every mornin when we wake up.. he will play his fav hokkien cd.. which later on i was too addicted to it.. i will sing along w the song too though i dun reali noe the song.. hehe.. mi juz like the cheery tone of the songs palyed in the cd.. so it has becum a daily routine to play the cd and i will oso help out mi mum to change the prayer's tea.. at that time.. my parents were workin hard at the seafood stall they hav opened so ah gong was my company le.. and i was oso ah gong's company.. then ah gong will bring mi to sch if i hav sch tution.. ah gong will chat w mi.. since young i hav been known to teachers as a child who asked alot of qns.. like the cartoon at that time ' shi wan ge wei shen me'.. then mi always bombared ah gong with so many qn.. but onr thing puzzle mi.. which is that where the hell did i hav so many qn to ask? *_*

then when i sick.. ah gong will scold mi cos i was the onli one in the family who doesnt noe how to swallow a pill.. till now i still hav this problem.. so sad.. i can still rmb that time mi mum n ah gong was so angry w mi.. i did try to swallow but in the end i didnt swallow but end up vomittin everything out.. no wonder they are so so angry w mi.. that y i dun wan to b sick.. if not i c the medicine i will for sure be more sick than the initial temp..

ah gong's fav food is D24 Durian and pig trotters.. but due to his health problem.. my dad restricted him to eat pig trotter.. if mi dad caught ah gong watin it.. ah gong will get scoldin from daddy de.. cute rite? ^3^

at that time many monks appear on the roads or at the void decks.. then i will donate n take a wristband form them.. when ah gong everytime sees one new item on mi wrist he will smile to mi.. he went to the temple to get one band that can b wore round the neck.. it is of the same colour n pattern like my wrist band.. i cant stop likin it.. onli last year my wrist band was torn.. the wrist band has been w mi for 7 yrs le.. n the neckband is still around my neck.. those friends who are close to mi are wonderin when will i ever get the band off mi neck.. sad to say.. i wun get it off mi neck unless the band tore itself.. the band is of high sedimental value to mi.. i onli received it abt a mth or 2 earlier before mi ah gong passed away.. due to a heart attack.. it grabbed my ah gong's life away from us.. i heard my mum that the doctors rescued him three times but for the final time.. ah gong couldnt make it.. his fingers were turnin purplish- black.. if onli the doc didnt went oversea for training n that they did the operation.. my ah gong would hav survived.. but all this is fated.. so cant blame anyone.. i noe that mi ah gong has went on to accompany my ah ma who has passed away when i was pri 2.. and knowin that they will b by our side when we needed.. i reali missed them..
