A TRULY SAD TALE OF A GUTSY LADY....MY AH YEE

I pray to You merciful goddess of mercy...bodhisttava guanyin...You must bless and protect my poor ah yee....and if she must go...pls guide her to Your paradise....and if she needs to be reborn....guide her that she won't have to suffer such unjust and unfair retribulation in her next life....ORNITOUFO.....



i am using purple the colour for courage and perserverance.....

today story is sad one and real cos it's the life story of my mum's elder sister...we call her AH YEE....( or auntie in hokkien)...

if u ve read about my kampong life, u should know my enterprising granny, my mum's mum....

well, she was too enterprising. and this time she shrewd too much she actually shrewd herself or rather she ruined the life of her eldest daughter...AH YEE...

ah yee was a very petite young flower just reaching 18 yrs old. she was gorgeous. she was chatty, friendly and very very hardworking.....

most of all she loved my mum who 's her younger sis....granny could only send one girl to study. to her - all the stone age kind mentality - no point waste money on girls. they were to marry off sooner or later. why waste money on them?

so ah yee sacrificed herself to allow mamalee (my mum) to be able to have a decent education.....she was reduced to a maid at home helping out the household chores while granny operate her enterprising makeshift store.

she sold breakfast like nasi lemak, prawn mee, congee....etc....she got like 5 children to handle. and she was a widow. my grandpal mati already in china when she escaped from there to emigrate here in sinkieland.

during the afternoon, she changed her business tone. she sold cigarettes, tit bits, ice karchang - the ball type , fruitty syrup flavoured type of ice cubes....and etc...and tikam tikam...my favourite!...always kena until grandma threaten to cane me if i tikam tikam so luckily with her...she could be broke by me u know...hahahaha....;9)

i just loved her super duper agar agar and her coconut flavoured ice cubes. she would sell them like 1 agar for 5c or 3 ice cubes for 5c.....very cheap and very popular with the kampong brats then...me her most loyal makan fan...;9)

of course, granny belanja me...how could she resist such cute mini leetahsar with the big electrocuting eyes even then...hahahahah...;9)

soon, a lady from town happened to come to our kampong. she saw ah yee - a demure, voluptous young lady...and my goodness! so friendly, cheerful and hardworking. she loved her...to be her daughter-in-law.

a match-maker was sent. this town lady was damn rich then. she held a string of businesses her dead hubby left behind for her to handle....and granny was mesmerised by her diamonds rings and her humongous jade pendant and bangles....

without second thought, she acceded to her proposal...and soon ah yee was prepared to be married off....and her nightmare was soon going to begin....

......to be cont'd.....standby tonnes of tissue papers....:9(

THE TORMENT OF A MARRIED LIFE...story of my ah yee.....PART 2

my ah yee just gong gong din even meet the groom...and she din even dare to object to granny's order. she just married off just like that.....she left everything to fate...my goodness!

on her virginal night.....she was deflowered....*brroooom....brooom....thunder and lightning.....*....she bled on the piece of white cloth laid on the bed.....

the next day, she then realised what a fuck her hubby was!

his family was rich. but this was a bloody fucker!...yes he fucked around...with any bar hostess whores...just about any mei mei with a hole!

not long, my ah yee was infected by syphillis....a present from her jerk husband....so both of them went to see a urinologist.

*brrooom...brooom...thunder and lightning...* yes...again...

her husband's dick condition was totally ruining...all infected and most likely sterile even after curing......

so there u r....my ah yee married to an eununch...she could never bear his children. not her fault but his.

the husband slanged her accusing her a jinx. he was already quite inflicted with sterility already even before he laid my ah yee. he just din realise it only after the last jackpot of std...and thanks to him, he also infected my pure as the lotus ah yee.....;9(

pretty soon, my ah yee's mum-in-law konged off leaving all the assets to the fucking jerk of a hubby. in no time, he gambled all away....yes...every single cent and was in heavy debt.

he absconded from the gangsters ah longsans. he escaped to china with only a suit case of clothing. he pawned all my ah yee's wedding dowries and char bok...without even a single concern for my poor ah yee.....:(

ah yee was blanked! she did not know what to do...what could a kampong potato cupcake barely 20yrs do?....

she refused to move back to granny. she hated granny for putting her into such a plight. granny was remorseful, too. she thought she had found a good family for my ah yee. hardly did she realise she had just sent her to the realm of the suffering hell.....:(

so biting her grit, ah yee pawn the few last pieces of jewelleries she was wearing. she used the money and started what she had now....2 provision stalls in beo cresent market...

she started with one. but cos her business was so good she applied for another one. by now she already adopted 2 dunno who children...she got a son earlier from her elder brother.

the eldest son was given to her by her elder brother ,on command from my granny to atone her sin. he was my ah KU (uncle) or mum's elder brother. the other 2 kids - a boy and a girl was adopted from duuno who...somebody just chucked them with my ah yee and ever since became her own children.....

when small my real maternal cousin was an intelligent boy. he was given to my ah yee when the husband was still around...and this asshole ill treated him cos he wasn't his own flesh and blood what.

hammer him...tortured him...until my this poor clever cousin became like a ding dong,....blurred liao....:9(......now he was almost 60....and still a lau ding dong....i dun think he could fend for himself.....;9(

the other dunno from where boy by hook or by crook took after his non maternal father...and was a rascal in every likes. he was in and out of jail as a teenager....my god! ah yee for nothing had all her history de ja vu.......:(

the girl was good. but she was married and had her own brood to look after...how....how could she look after my presently blank off senile poor ah yee?....;(

....to be cont'd.....

ending story of my ah yee.....PART 3

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......
