& I'm waiting
追遠
Went to 扫墓 with Daddy and bro today, since Mummy had to go to the temple.
Felt guilty because I couldn't wake up yesterday to go with Mummy to my maternal grandparents side.. And my bro ended up being unable to wake up too, so Mummy went alone. :/ must make it a point to stop letting go of pigeons.
Unknowingly, I couldn't help but smile at my brother's cute actions at times and him trying to sell his psp to me and describing how I can play patapon on it. xD he wanted to save money to get a s5. The most funny part was.. 外面买100,看在你是我妹妹,我买你150啦。
And he said it in such a righteous tone xD
And I couldn't help but smile in the taxi trip back home, as Daddy talked endlessly about taxi driving and giving tips. Because the driver just started for a few days and Daddy has drove over 20 years. Haha, and I don't know if the driver was just trying to make some conversations or truly wanted to learn, he ended up asking for certain directions and routes and whether you can get to a certain place through this and that. :P
Daddy sounded proud, proud of his experience and how he can visualise the maps when he hears the road name (according to him). And yeah, as much as some may think that being a taxi driver is a hard and low status job, I'm proud that my dad brought us through so many years being a taxi driver. And I'm sure he is too, to some extent.
I don't know if it's because Mummy wasn't there together to distract me, but I ended up telling ah ma stuff while standing in front of her spirit tablet.
Somehow, I felt like I really missed her. And I couldn't help thinking about how it would be like when others leave me again.
And I got brought back to the memories of when she passed away close to 4 years ago. Yes, time flies. It has been 4 years already. And I remembered the compo I wrote in memory of her. And the photo of her that I took secretly one day using my old phone, which I believe the photo is now somewhere in my thumb drive. And how I cried endlessly on the bus to school one morning, making a promise to myself that I would think of her occasionally so that I won't forget how she looked, the way she smiled.
And of course, my maternal grandparents. Grandpa that I saw even less but felt a greater loss because I understand much more now.. and Grandma whom I have never seen before. I always wondered how Mummy felt when she goes to visit grandma. I need to accompany her the next time, can't let her feel lonely..
To my grandparents in heaven or somewhere out there, I hope all is well. And please bless all of us to be well.
보고싶다.. 정말.
