Sentimental frenman
Attended a funeral today; my buddy Kev's grandma's. I vividly recalled a moment both she and me will never forget. Kev even told me she joked about it days before she had fallen into deep coma. I was very naughty and mischievous in my younger years. Being punished and caned was a norm. That day hell broke lose and Mom's nerves erupted like a volcano. Sensing her boiling temper like molten lava, I seeked refuge at Kev's house. Coincidentally, his grandma was visiting. I stayed till very late coz I dare not go home. After much pursuasion, I finally told her the truth. She's indeed a loving and kind-hearted woman. She walked me home and had a chat with my Mom. Thanks to her, I was spared the cane. Each time I meet her, we will surely joke and laugh about this incident. My last encounter was sending her home after dialysis several months ago. Rest in peace.. dear Poh Poh!I couldn't hold back my tears for the first time upon seeing her laying peacefully in the coffin. The second time when she was about to be incinerated and the music 'se sang ze you ma ma hao' was playing. The same crematorium, the same hall.. 9 years ago. The only difference was no music but my siblings and me singing and bidding farewell to my beloved Mom. Sombre mood + gloomy day.
I'm never afraid of showing the soft side in me. I shed tears while watching movies and reading books. I shed tears when my heart is being emotionally touched. Kenot meh? Why? Men aren't supposed to cry izit?
