......since my ah gong's death. Time flies... I sometimes still can't believe that my ah gong has been called home by Our Lord. I still remembered last year's Chinese New Year, he was still enjoying the food we had during our reunion dinner and he look well and full of appetite. But I guess the death of my ah ma in 2004 must have left him so down, a life without his most precious companion of almost 50years. Ah gong, I missed the times when we watched Maradona played for Napoli in the Italian Football League on a lazy Saturday afternoon, the days I will call you to come into the room to watch local football or English Football, the days when you will ask me to go downstairs to get you your daily dose of Marlboro, the days when you will give me $10 to buy my favourite food, the days when you will make me "layang" and bring me to the hill to fly it...All those beautiful memories will forever be cherished. Hope you are happy in heaven ah gong... I miss you...
I was telling my aunt that tomorrow is ah gong's 1 year death anniversary when I was driving her home from the airport. She went to Germany for almost 3 weeks and these are what she bought for me!
World Cup 2006 postcards from the host country!
But I guess the best of all is this Adidas ball!
She actually went to Cologne, Frankfurt and Nurnberg. She even managed to visit the hometown of 2 great musicians-Beethoven and Bach! She was telling me that the weather there was still quite cold even though winter is over, breads were served all day round that she will be sick if she sees bread now! After I sent her home, she actually sent me a SMS to thank me for waiting for her at the airport(i actually waited for almost an hour as her flight was delayed in Frankfurt) and sending her home. Then I replied that it's not a prob, afterall she is my aunt! It really made my day to be able to serve my responsibility as a nephew to her and to see her really enjoy her trip in Germany!
