MAY THE MERCIFUL LIGHT OF THE BUDDHA SHINES AND PROTECT MY POOR AH YEE....
she was all along doing very well. i remembered her ang pows during cny was one of the biggest....$20 each...the rest of the well to do aunties and uncle were cheapskate. the most only like $8....
however, her good fortune didn't last. soon out of nowhere, NTUC set up shop just next to the beo cresent market...and all the hawkers there kena hit like anything.
HOW TO COMPETE WITH NTUC?.....they should be pro-business and see for urself what happen? kill all the grass roots businesses....creating miseries to so many people...and worst using our so called membership fees to hantam us pain pain....:(
the whole market business condemned...even the florists there also can't tahan. NTUC also selling flowers now...what a fuck!
and my auntie's stuffs are those provisions types...first to kena hit...and now her business dwindles...
during the past cny's eve, she piang (struggled) until morning. her business was super...the last few cnys, totally not much of a business....and now her POSB bank accounts left with few hundreds only...instead of few tens of thousands...mamalee and my younger sis each gave her 1k ang pows....to help her tide over...but for how long can this last?
WHY?....I ASK THIS QUESTION AGAIN...WHY CAN'T A SIMPLE HONEST DECENT PERSON DO AND CARRY OUT A SIMPLE HONEST DECENT BUSINESS HERE?
WHY?....WHY THE GOV HAS TO KILL THE LIVELIHOOD OF SUCH GOOD PEOPLE?...DUN TELL ME OUR BUSINESS ACUMEN IS NO GOOD....NTUC SHOULD PROMOTE SUCH GRASS ROOT BUSINESS...NOT SET UP NEXT TO IT AND KILLS EVERYONE OUT OF BUSINESS...
HOW CAN THE GOV DO SUCH A THING???...;9(
and now my poor ah yee not only became senile after she suddenly fainted....she also can't stand now...she got to be in wheelchair...
one very very touching thing is: SHE REMEMBERS ME...SHE REMEMBERS BOB....my tears are now rolling down...it's too dramatic for me...excuse me i gotta to reach for my tissues......*sob...sob*.....
During the last cny, i visited her...she blurted my name...BOB...U LOOK SO MUCH YOUNGER....my mum was shocked....she can't remember her own adopted children...she remembers me!...she can't remember my younger sis...SHE REMEMBERS ME!......
i think i made her laugh the most...she smiled the moment she saw me...and i had to hide my sorrow for her....by smiling back forcefully.....
and before i left her...i gave her the power bead bracelet which i was chanting fervently. the white bodhi seeds bracelet was turned brownish...though not blackened like the ebony one a nun gave to me years ago in a HK temple.
and ah yee....i will chant for u...for ur pain...ur miseries...let u be free from it...the next life if u ever come again...i want to meet u again....i may as well be ur son...ah yee...u take care now...i will always be with u.....
...the end......
