hooked up my memories ~

i browse my friends' blogs everyday to get the newest update of my friends. today, as usual, i went browsing my friends' blogs.

when i reached my cousin, Germaine's blog, i saw her latest post. she talked about her family members.

she said she din't get the chance to pay a final respect to her grandfather, because she wasn't here in Malaysia. and she also talked about my loving Uncle Ray, the one who's pampered me like his own child.

i really miss my grandfather and my Uncle Ray. my grandfather worked at the minister quarters when he was young. during my young years, my grandfather told me many things about his adventures and his working stuff. my grandfather passed away when i was 7. i remember faintly that he died a day after the All Souls Day ( the Qing Ming Festival ) for Chinese. i remember he was very week then, he din't come with us to clean our ancestors' grave, a Chinese cultural thing to do. after doing those, we went back home, exhausted. then, suddenly, i don't know what happened. it was at night. i think my grandfather had a heart attack. then the ambulance came. my granny went with him in the ambulance, while we go by car. when we reached the hospital, i was told that my grandfather had left me. we cried all the way. especially me, my grandfather was the third person after my parents who really loved me. for me, he IS my third most important person in my life. i love him. i will never forget how he pampered me by scolding my father when he scolded me. gonggong is what i call him. gonggong, you will be in my heart forever. i love you.

my uncle was a marine engineer. he is very very very good at swimming. he was also my swimming coach. he thought me how to dive, float, swimming with my eyes open and how to stay above water when in deep water. i din't get to see him on the last day of his life, i am really sad... but i can't cry over spilled milk, so, i should look forward and study well to thank those who had treated my well.
