goodbye grandma...

It is my second week doing internship at an internet advertising agency but to be exactly, I only worked for 1 1/2 weeks due to a series of death in my family. My beloved grandma and my uncle.

grandma...
She took care of us (my elder sister, chloe and I) when we were young, as usual, both working parents. I was really young that time so couldn't really recall much of the memories back then but I remember she likes cleaniness a lot. She will at least sweep the floor twice a day. "I don't like to sweep coz the dust triggers my running nose" so the best time to be at grandma's house is during Chinese New Year, coz the tradition doesn't allow us to sweep away the "choy = prosperous". Thinking back, I hardly help doing house chores. Chloe cover up for me all the time. She too


Then, when I got into high school, I learned to take public transport because my high school is quite far away that required me to exchange buses to get there. The exchange point is in Pudu where grandma stays. So, whenever I don't feel like going home after school, I will buy Tong Kee egg tarts to visit grandma. After a while, I only realised grandma never eat any of those tarts I brought. First, I ate it all before she could even lay her hands on it. Second, her health condition can't eat high colestrol food. Don't know since when I stop seeing grandma as often. I regret for not turning up even in Chinese New Year family gathering. *sob* *sob*

Last 3 days, grandma's funeral was held at Nirvana. This morning, she was burned into ashes. She is 78 years old, guess it is time for her to rest peacefully in heaven. Goodbye forever, popo!
