decided to stay at the wake tonight too, so will be there for two nights straight till sunday. over the last few days I heard stories from aunties, cousins, and my cousins' own kids.
how my 小姨, my late cousin, and two other male cousins grew up and played together. even though she was one generation senior, but their age were quite close. then my mum revealed that actually... even b4 I graduate, my cousin was asking his mum if I have found a job. he... was worried that I couldn't find one.
Mum was asking if I told him I found a job. I told her of cos... he was the first one I informed outside our family. I remember personally sending him a sms when he was in china and our last meet-up at the temple I had updated him.
last night another of my cousin went to the wake but she didn't approach the house. her family is preparing for a wedding this end of year and their dad refuse to let any of them come. seriously? I do respect traditions and customs. but if this cousin is one of your dearest and ur own family still disallow you to come? I mean come on, what year is it now?!
I would go too if I'm her. they only realised she was there when someone told my relatives that there's a lady squatting and crying beside a tree, looking at their house.
last night was overwhelming and there was no space for pp to sit down. many were standing but they did not mind at all. it only goes to show what a great father, son, friend, boss, colleague, cousin and the many roles my cousin was to the people around him.
走好哦...
