Family

Been really busy ever since i started work at SMRT. I work from monday to sunday and i hardly have time at home. Failed to pay my respects to ah gong this year as i wasn't at home..Sorry ah gong. Haven't seen him since i was one year old, so i have been really lucky not to have suffered the feeling of losing my loved ones before. Recently been very worried about ah ma, she seems much more frail and weak then before. My ah ma is a great person. I am pretty much like her - our seating postures, our cheerfulness and stubborness. She is a very generous person and treats her friends with sincerity. Thats why she was never alone when my ah gong left for China 24 years ago. Ah ma never blamed ah gong for leaving..I look up to her alot. I am her favourite grandson i guess. The most well behaved (my cousins..one in prison the other divorced after shotgun marriage). She looks forward to seeing me return home everyday. The first thing she will ask me is "hann ah, ni chi bao le ma? du zhi er qu wai mian chi dong xi hor". Everyday...without fail. When i forget to visit her in her room she will come over...but most of the time i'd be distracted with my computer. Now i think of it, i feel so bad. The second thing she will ask me will be "you mei you qian chi dong xi? wo zhe li you $5 ni na qu..sorry ah ma mei you qian zhi shen xia $5 gei ni". Of course i wouldn't take it and i will jokingly reply her "lao zi you qian! and ask her to use it to buy her 4d/toto. I will always remember when i was young, only she, dared to speak to the wandering spirits on my behalf when i got punished by them for kicking at the ashes. At times she will cough really badly, i would get worried and go over to her room and see her. Drinking the hot water i poured for her..she would lament "wo yao si le! kan bu dao ni jie hun le" Is that what all grandmothers do? saying they will die soon to get me worried. Reminder to myself that i will make it a point to accompany her whenever i can. Stop for 5 minutes to talk to her whenever she comes to talk to me. Bring my future wife to show her when fate comes. love u ah ma :)
