Nana Has Gone To Heaven

Nana (Mum’s side) has gone to Heaven 2 days ago. After much of struggling, she has passed away on Tuesday evening at 10pm. She has been sick for quite a few years. I remember visiting her during every Chinese New Year and for the first few years, she can remembered who I was but then she will asked again “Who Are you?” after 10 minutes later. Although she couldn’t remember much about the present day but she remembered every detail about my childhood. She will always comment it later that how fast I have grown up but hardly remember that I just visited her the day before.

This year, she has been really sick. She was lying on her bed 24/7 and required a lot of assistance with her daily activities. Mum has been visiting her on and off and taking turn to take care of her with my other Aunties. She has total of 11 kids. One son and ten daughters. 2 of her daughters were given away when they were babies. Although we managed found one of them but couldn’t locate the other one.

Grand-dad passed away almost 23 years ago. Now, she is together with him in the comfort of GOD’s hand.

Almost 10 years ago, my Grand-Father (Dad’s side) passed away when I was still studying in NZ. It came to me as a shock because I remembered him on the day I left M’sia and flew to NZ for my study. I always thought that I will see him again when I’m back for the 1^st year of studying. I was very upset then. I spent a lot of time with him when I was young.

4 years ago, my dearest Grand-Mother passed away out of sudden as well. It breaks my heart because she is the Greatest Grand Mother anyone could ever have. She is always very generous with her love to all her grandchildren and has been fair with anybody. However, I know I was her favourite grand son. She used to bought me heaps of stuff and always ensure that I’m not running out of money. When she was sick, I couldn’t make it to see her for the very last time. I missed her a lot and I wish she is still alive so that I could spend more time with her.

Family is always there for you. Life is too short and it is very important to spend anytime that you have with them. If you couldn’t be there all the time, a phone call will simply make their days and yours.

Auckland, NZ

After 15 hours of traveling and having turbulence all the way from KL to Auckland, got stuck at the custom, ‘striping’ all my luggages inside out by the custom officer, finally, I’m in Auckland again after 10 years ago.

It is nice to be back in this city again. I love NZ. The sky is still very blue, the air is so nice to breath in, the people are still very friendly, nothing much changed in the city except…..THERE ARE SO MANY FREAKING ASIANS HERE NOW!!!

I can’t believe it! It just felt like another Asian City in an Ang Moh environment setting! Of cox, there are a lot of Asian restaurants as well (which is good for me). I guess if it is not because of all these International students, Auckland could be still be a very boring city, just like 10 years ago.

The hotel is really nice and it is right in front of the Harbour. The room is very big and comfortable! The food at the restaurant is good. So far everything has been really good.

I’ve met up with my cousin and we spent some time together catching up all the gossips. I managed to make a few new friends here and went party and drinking together. It was a lot of fun.

Went to visit the Casino and lost some money there. The casino just like Genting! I reckon 90% gamblers there are all Asian (80% are Chinese, probably! So typical!).
