Ah ma's house... NOW

Yupz... My mommy's family.. The Chuas had sold this plot of land to a developer.. N now this 5 storey high building has taken over the house that you all have seen in the earlier picture.. I really miss those days that we all gather at ah ma's house and celebrate her birthday... I dreamt that someday that I'll be able to bring my hubby along with me to wish my ah ma Happy Birthday... But I'll never get to do that... Haiz..

Went to Dad's mom, ah ma's house... Nobody was there except her, the maid and my unlce.. It's kinda sad... Last time still got Ah gong around... But every time he and my dad will argue about company's stuff... Well, you see... my dad didn't get himself involved in the company's matters after he was diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes.. But my ah gong wanted him to be in... well.. a lot of things happen in that family... But I will never never forget... The day.. when my grandfather passed away... All his grandchildren, sons and daughters...son-in-laws and daughter-in-laws n his wife.. we were all around his bed... When he had his last breath.. He waited till everyone came.. I remembered it was nite time.. about 7pm - 8pm.. I remembered the date...1st June... I was quite okie with it.. Until I called my captain.. telling her that I won't be attending the regional camp.. well.. gonna get promoted to ssgt.. I cried.. not because I couldnt get my promotion.. but because my ah gong passed away... I could say that he treated my brother n I quite good too..

People, certain things once gone cannot be retrieved back.. Like human beings and time? You can't be a baby like you once used to be.. You can't get the dead to be back alive... The bottom line: Treasure your loved ones as much as you can... for now... If not you may regret...
