Before I start my story, I would like to write something 1st.
I had got a new PC with my little brother from Baba and Mama as our Birthday Present!
It built up with Intel i5 2500k processor, Asus P8H67 motherboard with 4GB Ram, WD 1TB HDD, and Asus HD5770 GPU.
Hmmm, RM2xxx.oo
Huge present isn't it(for both of us)?
This is the beginning of my story.
I has attended 5 funeral ceremonies as at today (so far in my mind, and relation are close)
The 1st one was my DEAREST grandfather (Gong Gong(公公), in Cantonese)
The 2nd one was my maternal grandmother (Jia Gong(外婆), in Hakka)
The 3rd one was my uncle
The 4th one was my great maternal grandfather (Gong Tai(曾外公), in Hakka)
And the 5th one is my maternal grandfather (Jia Gong(外公), in Hakka)
He had passed away this Monday, he was 75-year-old.
The funeral ceremony began at yesterday afternoon and will be last for 3D2N
So all his children, grandsons, granddaughters and relatives had came back and to see him one last time.
Few years ago, he was an active man.
He always rode to Taman U from the Serdang Main Street to give us/my uncles/aunts mangoes or rambutan.
And today, no more mangoes or rambutan.
Few weeks ago, he was in the Sunway Hospital.
He could walk, talk, eat and drink.
And today, he is rest in peace.
Few days ago, he could still pronounce my aunties' name.
And today, we can't hear his voice forever and ever.
I heard my Baba Mama and those relatives said, Jia Gong used to go to a nearby Mamak Stall to makan roti canai and minum Milo almost daily at night.
The boss of the Mamak Stall very familiar with my Jia Gong.
He knew that Jia Gong had passed away.
When we bungus roti canai and Milo, the boss knew that the food was for Jia Gong, for sembayang, he didn't charge us.
The boss said that his father and Jia Gong knew each other when they both worked at the Lombong (tin field).
The boss used to help Jia Gong to cross the road too.
These days, I also heard some dramatic stories from my relatives about Jia Gong, each of them has different "versions". Which is/are the truth? No one knows. And none of my business.
------------------------
One lovely tip for you!
If you got no money in your pocket(s), bank account(s) or piggy bank(s), please,
PLEASE NEVER THINK ABOUT THE WORD "DIE" "DEAD" or " DEATH" IN YOUR HEAD!
Why?
You have to spend A LOT OF MONEY to put yourself into the ground!
This is truth!
--------------------------
One thing very strange for outsiders.
I'm Hakka or Cantonese?
I have no idea too.
I spoke Cantonese with my grandfather, speak Cantonese with Guma side and Hakka with grandmother!
Ha
I speak Hakka on my mother side!
I'm very sure that I'm not Hokkien!
I'm Hakka-Cantonese or Cantonese-Hakka I think!
