Suppose to visit my grandma at Bishan. Father told me that she would be working late and YY not at home. So I decided went to my ah po's house instead. She whipped out several traditional vegetarian dishes and as usual, tastes superb!
Then, my cousin Hang, came and we talk about each other's life.
Asked ah po about where did your Lao Gong go? Seems that he went by himself to Chun Dao He Pan( A place where many statues or things related to CNY casting there) sightseeing around. Wah! I indeed got a little agonized and wondering why he did not ask me or Hang to go with him? Age is catching him ASAP and it's so dangerous to wander himself without anyone. * One thing to note. He's a man with pride as high as the sky.
Hang and I accompanied my ah po till her husband comes back. We talk about our academics in school with her, so that she at least know where we are. She's quite concern in that area rather than our lives.
Her hubby came back.
I told him why never ask us, and told him next time go such far places ask us go too.
Then, we sat down chit chat more, and near 10 plus, we went off and head home.

On chu er, I wanted to go out but can't go friend's house visiting since all my kins are in mourning period. So, I asked my cousin, Hui Fang want to go out see movie. My sister seems interested and extremely eager.
After my jogging around 3 pm, I had a miss call from Hf. Called back find out Hf and xh( her friend - but our kins treat her like family.) had an argument with my little cousin, Yang yang. Seems that YY keep lying to them and that has break off their tolerance limit.
I took a bath and went off with my sister. Wear sloppily. Reach there and expect YY not tagging along with us; the girls and yy ignored each other after the quarrel. Went to ah ma's house nag a little to YY telling him the girls were concern his well-being thats why they were so angry about it.
He tag along and we went under Hf's block to wait for them.
Hf and xh came down and all I felt was the freezing air going down my spine. The atmosphere was dense. We went through bishan park, walk to AMK hub. Tried to talk YY around, but not really effective. Well, worth the effort. Reach GV, most of the slots were in red. We took the train, chit chat, giggled a little, and soon we found ourselves in Bishan, heading to Junction 8. True enough, we got ourselves 5 tickets for the movie, The wedding game. But, the problem was, we had 2 hrs and 45 mins to spare before the movie itself. Then, talk to myself in mind. "Oh great, am I going to watch a cold war by the girls and yy?" Went in arcade but the girls seemed to mind. Head right to subway and my first time eating there as I find atrociously unpleasant to get a wiff of breads.
All of us ate silently, the girls though looked hardy in front, but in the end bought food for YY. I smiled at them hinting they ain't as hard as they had looked. Then, another argument broke out. YY unable to cast his pride off, refuse to consume the food the girls bought. Hf got angry and told him sternly," Hey, if you're not happy, go home." I recalled about Hf wants him to finish it by 845 which is the time for the show.
I suggested to play True or Dare using the game called THE FINAL NUMBER to choose its victim. Sure enough, this game had made us get to know each other and the atmosphere soothen better. As least that's what I think.
Watch the movie, but found it not nice. Not funny. Took a bus and went home.

Just what I predicted, after the steamboat, the whole group of kins sat down at their respective places watching mahjong 3 showing on TV. Keep quiet and all I heard was the TV sounds. No ang pao this year as this year is still in mourning period. I ain't sure who suggest it, but okay better than sitting there and rot. Then, my cousins tag along, and we sweat like nobody's business.

For this CNY, because of my ah gong's death, we are going to mourn for him by not going to other relatives or friend's house. It's a tradition. I'm slightly worried how the atmosphere would be during the reunion dinner especially my aunt just pass away one month later after my ah gong's death. We were expected to wear clothes ain't bright. I hope the dinner would be a happy one.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regarding about my mum's cooking, it's seem hopeless. Like today, I was afraid she cook something unpleasant and the family would dig in on cup noodles, told her to get salmon and cook. Cause salmon is something know matter how she could cook, we would like to eat it. Phew, what a dinner today.

At around 3am, 1/8 2009, i was not able to sleep. I stared in the air thinking to myself if I was my aunt on the deathbed, I would not be able to die in peace having such husband to take care of her dearest son whom just days in secondary 1. I practically drained all my fluids and felt eminent pain near the areas of my eyes.
I was in my bedroom sitting on my desk. I could hear everything exact, the clock's ticking sound, the poster flicking, the fan's spinning causing rubbing sounds, the breathing of my little brother. Everything came slower and I felt each beat of heart.
I sit there till my eyes was unbearable and wait till my body demanded rest asap. Tomorrow will be the day I visit my aunt once again.

Around 8 in the night, wednesday, my cousin pearllyn told me that my aunt pass away at 12 noon today. I... I wondered why my parents did not what to told me. I called them and scolded them why did not tell me earlier? Then, in the phone, everything was silent but the sounds of human's fragility from my parents and me. I realised they knew I would be devastated by the news coming soon after my grandpa's death. I ...
Instead of just sadness that consumed me, hatred came and I felt even more angrier than before. What was my aunt's husband doing? If he stills keeps on his gambling habit, and stills smoke, which indirectly cause my aunt's lung cancer, and her cancerous cells spread throughout her body, I will personally do something about it. But, all I care now is how I am going to face her only child, Yang Yang who is currently day 2 or 3 in his secondary school? Tomorrow is thursday and I'm going to the furneral after my UT.
I thought to myself, why always let the good people die for a cause harmed by the sinstered people? And these people fuelled with dark ain't getting their deserved reward! I.. I !!!!!
I...
I... I don't know what to write what to continue this piece of data. Rest well, my aunt. I..
Love you always .
My parents will definitely miss you.

Today, I went in class with tiredness and anger. My superior called me to prepare materials in the early morning and ask me to meet him at Bugis after school.
Although today I gonna give presents to my friends, but felt tired and kept thinking about going to Bugis for the briefing. Around 12 plus in the noon, I received a call from my superior telling me he cannot make it near 6 and told me something which bring me even sadder than before.
I sold none at Tnk Tech at Sim Lim on Sun, but sold two at Sats. Asus monitors are unknown to many people and I was expected to sell even one? There are competitors like Samsung, philips or even LG. The boss of Tnk was kind to me, but I sold none which was unpleasant to the ears of my superior.
Hai, blame me would be the best solution. Try harder next time.

My dearest mum cooked steam chicken.
We ate heartily and my cousin ate happily.
Till I saw blood in the chicken, and many portions ain't cooked,
I told my stomach," Please digest fast."
I had stomachache, vomit every hour, pain like I was in hell, when I ate something unclean. For 3 whole days. That was during my secondary days. Once bitten twice shy.
Can't sleep that night as my stomach was roaring with pain. Mum, do something about it.
I will write the full version if i have the time. Very exhausted from work.
I'm the only ASUS promoter in Sim Lim Square
Work from 1 to 7 on Sats and Suns.
Better buy monitors from me! No discounts as I don't make it. But, I be glad if you buy from me!
