13 yrs on...

Dear Ah Ma,

In a blink of eyes, this is the 13th year tat you left us. It seems like you neber realli left us..

This year, we have a lot of good news, how great it will be if you are still here with us..

Early this year, mummy, piggy bro, Jie & I made a trip to Macau & Hong Kong. Liang Liang was unable to join us due to work commitments, and thus we went on our own. I still remembered that our 1st Bossini's t-shirts were brought by you years back when you visited HK while I was in Primary 2. You have brought 3 identical t-shirts but in different colours for us.

It was our favourite outfit back then and mummy will let us wear it while on outings so as to look nice in photos.It was the fondest memory we have about Hong Kong at tat time..Going there this time with family, reminded us of you..

Remember years back, you keep encouraging the younger aunties and uncles to try for a dragon baby? Fast forward to 12 yrs later as we entered the dragon yr, it's my turn to get encouraged to for a dragon baby in memory of you as we know how much you will like to haf a dragon great-grand child. But you know Ah Ma, its stressful to be a dragon BB in Spore as there will be a baby boom and the rush for queues for sch will be madness, thus, I always gave up the idea of having a dragon BB much to the dismay of many.

But dunno whether it is you who is watching all these and decide that I should be blessed with a dragon BB that I got pregnant during May and BB will be born in early 2013 b4 CNY. Technically, it makes the BB a dragon BB still as it is still not CNY yet.

Mummy was overjoyed when she hear the news, I guess she finally got her wish to be promoted to granny and to make things sweeter, its a dragon BB as per your wishes...Mummy believes that somewhere, you are watching over me and made these possible :)

Recently, I am facing a few health problems with this pregnancy and had been put on 2wks MC. If you are watching over me now somewhere, please bless me with a healthy BB and have a smooth delivery. I know you will cuz this will be your great-grandchild.

Liang Liang is also moving to another phase of his life, having started work last Oct as trainee engineer, he is currently waiting to finish his last yr of degree studies...Also, he had got a new gf and is now planning to settle down by next yr. I can imagine ur pride if you are still ard as he is your favourite grandson.

He had grown up quite alot, proved to be helpful ard the hse, at least I can finally stop worrying about him as he prepares to settle down, the worrying part will be passed to his future spouse :)

Piggy bro is also doing well in his career, having get posted to Macau on & off for stints, he is njoying the flying ard part. The only thing is, mummy worry about him being alone there, but as he goes on the next trip in Aug, I guess mummy will be too busy worrying about me then to concentrate on him. Ah Ma, please look after him there if you are watching over us..

Mummy is the most busy among all, this yr, as she prepares for grandmotherhood, she shelf all travelling plans, I think the nearest 1 she have is next Sept where she & piggy bro is planning to go to US..US, Ah ma, did you rememeber that you brought my 1st pair of Nike from there when you went there in 1995?  I still have the Minnie Mouse purse you brought frm Disney land for me:)

As the year moves on, and every 1 gets busy with their life, I know we will miss you more during July as your death anniversary gets nearer. Do take care of yourself Ah ma, with da jiu and Ah gong there, and when I next pen this entry next yr this time, your dragon great-grandchild will be seating beside me playing away. I miss you alot Ah Ma, how I wish you were here to witness this great milestone of my life, but I noe you had neber left us. I noe you are watching over us somewhere up there...

With lots of Love,

Your eldest grand-daughter, Ah Le...
