17Jan09 :) ahgong's 87th birthday


i think his lips twitched to the widest angle when he held me in his hands.
i don't remember but i think he did.

my youngest memories of him is
i remembered him holding my hand teaching me teowchow
the only two phrase i learnt
拍手掌 拍手背
i'd run away when he finished teaching..
and when grandma just passedaway
i said i dreamt about grandma
he was so nervy and it made me avoiding him for a period of time

he is a super safe driver
as his car speed is.. 20km/h
sometimes i'd rather walk
passerby look into the window wondering what happened
sometimes i'm proud sitting inside his car
he's a golden citizen.
mum said policemen stopped him because he drove too slowly
i haven't sat in his car for a long time
i think the last time i sat on his car was around June July 09
we went to the stall and ate Jawa mee :)

he's grumpy over food
he's never satisfied with aunty emma's food
but makes the effort of harmonizing with us
liking youngster's spot
and slowly transformed into an OldTown fan :D
he's favourite food is kepong 肉骨茶
and kepong 怡保河粉
and maluri Jawa Mee
my siblings and i don't like bakkutteh
he'll nicely tolerate with us and eat something else we like.

he's super conscious about his grandchildren's health
hence
he'd come over to check out if we are free
then
take us out for either lunch or dinner or breakfast
you'd never want him to know if you are on a holiday
cause
he'd come every morning 8.30am sharp! :)
to wake you up and take you for breakfast
i'd be frustrated needing to wake up so early
sometimes even showing my temper
i regretted times like that.
as i don't have a chance to take him out for tea
me DRIVING him out
or letting him nag on my driving skills or whatever

he calls very often asking me the same questions when i pick up the phone
"HALO!" (typical ahgong)
"AHGONGGG~"
"aa.. jiat ba liao bui?"
"jiat ba liao .. "
"jiat xia mi?"
"jiat.. bui lo.. :)"
"a... mummy leh?"
"o.." MAA~~~
then mum'll take over.
he'll come over when he's in KL
visits us everynight
sitting on the couch
really sitting only..
sometimes he watches the tele but ends up the tele watching him
typical :)

sometimes when i couldn't understand his hokkien
i'd turn to mummy or daddy
at first he'd throw that unsatisfied look to me
then mumbled another sentence
hahaha
which! i couldn't decipher either

he once fetched me to tuition
with super tortoise speed.
he lost he way back.
cursing " 死火！！"
cause i saw his car foward and backwards like MrBean.

he never looked into the camera while taking pictures
in fact i dont think he knows how to smile in front of the camera
:)

pictures he looked unfocused
CNY07-------CNY06

ChineseNewYear is his festival
he leads everything. everyone is under his command
wearing his nice new year shirt
looking all lengzai and smart
giving out angpaus looking cute
playing with us
giving me money to gamble




CNY09 & CNY06


he was always there
we went to alot of places together
we've been to china phuket cruising and all

Cruising08


Singapore08
he's attended his grandchildren's graduation
never absent
or when his grandchildren flying overseas or whatever
he'll be there
he's never absent
KLIA@MCDonalds
saying goodbye

Han's Graduation 09 :)

i never held his hand much
until when he needs his tongkat all around
once we went out for dinner
i was holding him
and he fell down
dad scolded me? i forgot
but he kept telling me that
he's okay he's okay he's okay
since then i was extra careful holding his hand
his big and warm hands

KualaGula'08

he was fat and pink last time
sometimes his tummy making the trousers looser :D
he lose weight lately last year
he needs to tie his trousers with rubberband to prevent it from falling


before his operation
11Nov09
just after his operation
we visited him in the ICU
then a day after he was admitted to the normal rooms
he held my hand so tightly
responded to us

till when he went home
he's all boney..
he still remembered he have to give angpaus.


年三十晚 13thFeb10
the last time i felt his warmth



17years of xiang chu
he left on a sunday morning
the first day of chinese new year
he was buried underground forever..








maybe everyone's used to his existence
either sitting on the couch in the living room asleep
or on his couch in aunt's house watching tv
or using his magnifying glass to read the newspapers
or getting impatient waiting for us to get ready
or switching to his channels
or even just sitting there to have dinner with us
everyone just has to get using to his absence

:(



rest in peace :')
we'll miss u
