My beloved Ah Gong & Ah Ma...I onli c them once in d picture...they have passed away b4 i was born...
All my relative chit-chatting...waiting for my grandparents to "makan"...
As usual, when d eating session is over, my dad cut d pineapple in2 small pieces & spread it on the grave...i dunno y hv to do so la...but i guess is becoz pineapple means "ong lai" in hokkien...translated directly mean "good fortune cm"...
Last, v "bank in" some "hell bank notes" into my grandparents' account..."send" new clothes,shoes,mahjong,cigar & etc. for them la...But my dad say "Ah Gong quited smoking d wo"...haha...dunno la...
This weekend my family go "Cheng Beng" in Penang which is my mum's side 1...i cn't go wif them...
Kinda miss them...they r still around until i was Form 5...i saw them cycling happily, walking easily,welcomed us wif open-arm when v go visit them...until they got sick...lying on bed...& took d last breath...i still remember vividly tat time i was taking my SPM trial exam tat time..i skipped 2 papers for the funeral...is 4 years ago...kinda miss them...
My dad always remind us the story of "wooden bowl"...a pair of husband & wife let their old parents use wooden bowl when taking meal...d son of that husband & wife 1 day keep the wooden bowl...then the husband & wife ask their son y he keep it...the son says "i wanna let u both use it when u all get old"...juz a simple story tat carry a lot of values...
Appreciate them k...
Happy "Cheng Beng"!!!
