The Eve of Chinese New Year

Ah Ma with Daddy, Lo Hei at New Majestic Hotel.


Chinese New Year this year is a little different from what it use to be.
For the first time, it is without my Gong Gong...
Everyone is sad that this supposedly happy occasion reminds us that he is not around...
We were never all that close, I'm not sure why it is so painful still.
I recalled the days of going to the hospital to see him... it still feels very recent and raw.
It's too late.


I had dinner with my Ah Ma (paternal grandma) for our reunion.
She has aged a lot since...
She can't remember things... even what happen a couple of minutes ago.
She doesn't realise it is the New Year.




Sometimes, I hate "Time".
It is so unforgiving.
It never looks back.
I hate you.
