i wana go back again.
never thought i would feel the surge of emotions when i stood in front of my grandma's tomb.. its been almost 10 years since i last prayed there. it caught me off guard, her photo and it brought back tons of memories. its funny how we hold on to this one sided relationship which is totally not mutual yet we are willing to throw in that much to the remains. probably in hope that she can still hear us
or to/and to feel less guilty because we never gave her enough for what she had done to raise us all up.
i miss those days even though i get nagging all the time and i vividly remember she would always stomp her way to her room whenever i argue w her. haha. how nostalgic. and she always puts her leg up like some chao ah lian and cooling herself w a straw-weaved fan while watching tv.
oh! and always the same old clothes. a blue floral long-sleeve top w a baggy black pants. hahaha. there was this one day she told me that a lightning shot through our house and passed her.. she was totally serious when she told me.. i believed her. totally awed and thats y i still remember. cool huh my grandma.
i just continued staring at her picture, making a mental snap shot while my family burn the paper cash and car. my aunt is damn funny. she said,
'mother dunoe how to drive what' and then she starts talking to the tomb,
'wow mother, this year you got mercedez leh'. hahaha.
