Dear Pa,
It's exactly three years since your dismiss. How are you now?
Hey, guess this is the first time i write to you. Nope, not through Incense.com, nope.. Your child, me, just started learning on blogg writing. haha! It's late now, i know. Yeap, you would have nag me to go for bed, if you are around. I guess i am able to express much better in this late late nite (oh gosh, my eyes are watery..).
As i'm writing this post almost the same few minutes past midnite of May12, i never ever forget this day. Everything seems to be an ending, yet, i know it was a new begining. For me, for mum and the rest of us. I didn't cry that nite. In the morning, as usual, i was watering our garden. The bush, the flowers, the trees.. nope nothing seems to acknowledge that their owner has just left few hours ago.. The moment i put down the hose, i couldn't stand it anymore, Pa.. i cried in front of the posh. You wanna me to take care of the beautiful orchids for you? i know very little about their character, Pa.. how could i handle them.. no this is not true.. i have to work Pa, i have to rush to the office, i have no time to water them in the morning, my palms were shivering.. from now onwards, don't tell me i gonna to do all this by my own, i could not afford to do it alone, Pa. Come on, Pa.. couldn't you accompany me from now onwards, i pomise i spare more time with gardening?? My palms are shivering now as well...
Kepong has changed rather a lot. Remember the roundabout in front of the church? It was under construction at that time. Now, it is a junction, no more roundabout. All the palm trees standing in the middle of the ground were gone. Besides Jusco site, we have Carrefour located just somewhere across the main road.. Not really cheap on what they sale, though, but i guess if you are here, you can roam in if you are free. Yea.. enjoy free air-conditioning. I hope at your end, the weather is not as hot as here.
Do you get to read newspapers up there?
I wonder what kind of news they publish in the papers you get up there. I certainly hope they are not as biased as the ones we have here. ;)
You heard about BN lost heaps of seats in the recent general election? Along the way, i know you voted the most for which party, hehe. You would be astonished, really, it was a suprising result.
Anwar's wife is now Opposition Leader. Lim Guan Eng has gone from jail to Penang Chief Minister. Wonder what you think about that? And what happened to YBs like Chan Kong Choy and Chai Soh Lek, Mr Koh from Penang, oh..
The government are kinda blaming bloggers for the political change. Although since the elections, people are paying more attention to us. Many of the older people have started blogging. Can you imagine that? Aiya, me your child also doing the same mah....! Haha. Pa, up there,any blogging facility available?
I left my final employment job end of 2006. Ever since we seperated, i've changed a lot. Work-wise, characteristic wise, behaviour wise... yeap yeap, some for better, some.. i admit maybe for the worse. Huh... well, changes is normal, i guess, in order to improve. I joined the same career as your elder son. Yalor, couldn't imagine huh? Me too, haha! Oh, no worry Pa, i am looking forward for a better tomorrow.
Though she still gumbling the same thing, I guess Mum missed you alot. Ah Go and me is trying our best to take care of her, although the the best we can give, but we are still having dinner together occassionally. She cooks lesser, but we still thankful to her delicious meal. Hey, do you love the luncheon we presented to you this noon. Most of it we ta bao from the stalls, and Mum prepared from our kitchen 1 or 2 for you as well. Hope you enjoyed them (",)
Your elder grandaugther, she was quite ok. Though on and off having some flu and coughing (she's still rather proned to such sickness), but i guess sister-in-law is handling her well. Oh ya, before this you have not met her when you were here.
Our new guest of the house, came into picture last year July 10. Her name is Shi Jin (literally translated) Yeap, your second grandaughter. You saw her several times right, when her mummy brought her home over the weekend?
Oops, sorry Pa, next round okay, i'll show you her photo, k?
And of course I appreciate you, Pa. Thank you for working so hard when you were young. You worked tirelessly to bring us up. Two kids were a heavy burden enough for you, i guess. Remember that at that time, we were ealry to bed (our house was the earliest to switch off the all the florescent lamps and bulps compare to the neighbours. Haha, i still recalling rushing to brush my teeth after finished watching "Combat" , at sharp 9.30pm we were almost indulged in our dream lands...
Oh yes, we always being persuasive in order to get Ah Kong (your father) to treat us special dinner with the take-a-way Family meal from Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC now) . If not mistaken, to count the frequency of having such special meals, you bet you can use 10 fingers to count it out without have 'borrow' the leg fingers.. Luckily, McDonald did not come into picture yet.. hee. A&W, don't mention it..
My part now. I know, I know.. "......have you married?" You musta eagerly like to ask me this classic question.. Haha, you know what, almost all my clients and colleagues are so caring and throw the same question at me.. It's the secret between you and me now. I recalled kneeling in front of you, when you were laying peacefully ...... i whispered to you, revealling my fenomena to you. I have kinda accepting the fact of it, no worry, i can strive to leave with this situation happily till i get my wholelife partner (if any).. Pa, no problem, really.. i get used to it long long time already.
Until next time, please take care of yourself. Stop smoking (if you still secretly do so!) and eat more healthy food, alright? :) i guess the vegetarian food there is much much healthier, even comparing to organic food in this earthly world right, haha!
We love you always and we miss you very much.
Luv, your younger (and still look young) son,
KC.
