Seeing my ah gong suffering from loneliness at home and i felt that his sons and daughter are not doing anything to keep his life happy
though he is staying at my 2nd uncle hse but i know he wasnt happy there.. sometimes i see him go downstair walk alone and eat oso eat alone in the kopitiam (not i dun wan to company him ok is when i go downstair eat then he finish eating liao)
2nd uncle & whole family jus went to Malaysia for holiday and leaving ah gong at xiao jiu hse.. until this morn i jus found out that he was alone at home all this while.. 3 days 2 nites
before ying ying went she told me that ah gong will be going over to xiao jiu hse to stay but the truth is not.. im so disappointed in his sons and daughter.. no one really care much for him..
they were jus pushing ah gong to each other.. all his sons are jus afraid of their wives and wanna be henpecked.. i know everyone wans to have a family of their own and having an elder at home might make them feel uneasy
i wish i didnt rent out my room so that i can let ah gong stay at my hse.. sometimes see him so poor thing.. all alone walking around and dunno go where.. i know i shld have give him more of my time and visit him more often where he was jus living 3 storey below my unit
I oso felt very unfilial towards ah gong cos i know if i could jus manage my time well and i will have more time for him..
I know everyone is busy doing their own things but that doesnt give them an excuse to throw ah gong aside.. i wonder how often his sons and daughters talk to him and how much do they really know whats happening to him
the only time when relatives can gather around ah gong is during Chinese New Year or when he is hospitalise and thats the time where they will come and corncern him, talk to him, care for him and visit him!
I rem when im around 12 years old, every now and then we had an outing to Kranji reservoir for picnic and every family will cook some good dishes and each of us bring something to the picnic.. but now all this are gone.. ok mayb a BBQ organise by "da jiu" at Sembawang park (their usual place cos nearer to their hse)

Is it becos when a person grows up and the more reality he/she see, the more disappointment he/she gets.. sometimes people just wear different mask infront of different ppl.. i wonder dun they jus get tired of not being their ownself? isnt it tired to wear a mask whenever u are not alone?
I know the truth hurts and reality is cruel.. but still i hope to see ray of love inside all this undesire life...
