1 June 72 (Thur)

From today onwards no work for us again.

Today the Municipality Ipoh will celebrate its 10th Anniversary Ipoh goes gay tonight with procession too.  I watched the procession passes by at Yee Ku’s office, there’re lots of people crowded on the street.

 

2 June 72 (Fri)

Ah Mah said that she’s going to die, we were grief to hear that, made me cried out.  I know it was all because of the nurse, last night, ah Mah pressed the bell, the nurse came in and scolded her, this morning, Kong2 was late to see her, so she felt hopeless and pathetic, that all sorts of silly things came out from her mouth.

Rocky phoned to Tommy told him to come back immediately.

Rock spent us to the Diamond Restaurant, then together with Linda we went to the ‘Blue Diamond’, late till 1 am then we got home.

 

3 June 72 (Sat)

Tua Yee, 姨丈 together with Ocean reached Ipoh this morning, I lead them to the hospital to see Ah Mah, she’s very glad.

I stayed in hospital to accompany Ah Mah for the whole day.

At lunch, Mum bought me a bag of 叉烧饭.

Once again, Rock spent Diamond Restaurant.

 

4 June 72 (Sun)

Took Tommy and his girl friend to ‘Taman Seenivasagam’ to take photo, have our lunch in the ‘Malaysia Restaurant’.

Shir came along with us to the hospital to see Ah Mah.  I spend her 鸡丁饭, she accompany me in the evening when everybody was in the hospital.

 

5 June 71 (Mon)

Borrow 20 dollars from Mum in order to take my spectacle, Mum gave me the frame I went to fix the glass.

Injection for the second time, after injection I felt drowsy for the whole day.

丝姨 and Chee Yee of Seremban came to see Ah Mah.

Bought three packets of chocolate for Ocean.

Dr. said Ah Mah could get home by tomorrow morning.

She always said that something inside her nose made her very hard in breathing.  Kong2 called a specialist Kumar to check for her, the Dr. took the thing out from her nose, in the evening her sickness became complication, the poisonous pus from her nose ran into the lung, her lung is very weak at that time, so it’s very dangerous, we didn’t sleep much at night, we are so nervous to hear the telephone ring.

 

6 June 72 (Tue)

Ah Mah told Ah to get back on Wednesday and told 姨丈 on the 7th, it was the same day.  But they’re busy at their work so they get back now.

The sisters of the Hospital don’t allow us to get in, not to disturb the patient they said.

 

7 June 71 (Wed)

丝姨 wanted me to take her to shopping, I’m very anxious to go to the hospital to see Ah Mah.

笑影 came, I took her to the hospital, it is no use for us to stay outside, so we get home.

At three O’clock Albert came to fetch us there, we saw the sisters running here and there, we knew Ah Mah’s sickness turned worse, the sister told Kong2 to get in, at the door side, I saw the green spot of the heart machine jumping up and down so inconstantly not very long, the green spot stop, my hands are cold at that minute, the sister came out and said ‘very sorry, she’s dying’, we cried out at the same time.

The body was carried to the 番禺会馆,we stayed for the whole night there.

Shir’s mum gave 10$ 白金.

愿祖母在天之灵,安息吧!

 

8 June 72 (Thur)

Ah Mah passed away very peacefully without any suffer, she had rest in peace forever, she gave me her diary.

The photo placed in front of the coffin looks so nice, two sentences in Chinese written‘孝道有亏终身抱憾,思亲难见半世含哀’,very meaningful indeed.

At night lots and lots of friends and relatives came, 8 tables full of peoples I serve them drinks, Ah is the cashier to collect the money.  Ah Kam and some staff came, they gave 25$ 白金, FF and friends gave flowers.

Newspaper also printed out, but without Mum’s name in it, she is very sad and angry, she cried, I also cried out, Mum said they 欺负us when Ah Mah was not here.  幸亏不是靠她们而活!

 

9 June 72 (Fri)

This morning at 1am I came back to take some rest, sleep till 7am.

姨丈 and , Island also came back from S’pore.

At 10 the funeral started, the dead body was going to cremate at the Sam Poh Tung crematorium, at this moment, I burst into tears.

It’s all just like a dream, we came back and couldn’t see Ah Mah again, how sad!

Everybody gathers here, at 10, started to go to Sam Poh Tung for collecting Ah Mah’s bones.

I just couldn’t believe my eyes when they open the door and saw everything had turn to ashes.  We picked up the bones and put into a round container, straight away to the Siamese Temple.  The ashes left behind we threw it at the Kinta River near St. John let it flown to wherever it likes, Tua Yee took some to throw it into the sea in S’pore.
