I first got to know her more than 20 years ago. She was the
ex-girlfriend’s paternal auntie. A rotund lady, she, like most people of that
girth, was always jovial. In fact I have never seen her really scolding her
children, grand children or the 2 boys of which she was the guardian to. She
had a loud crackling laughter and was almost always in a good mood. Nothing
seems to get her down. Even during this just passed Chinese New Year, when she
was in the hospital and we visited her, she was making jokes about the Kid
despite the fact that she appears to be in pain from the poison that was
coursing through her.
Unfortunately for her and sadly for all her loves one, she eventually succumbed to the disease that was eating her up.
Sunday afternoons at Tampines will never be
the same again. Who is going to eat up all the fish stomach that we do not eat?
Who’s going to cook the fried mee siam
She will be missed. Gone from us physically but never from
our heart. RIP.
