Saddddddd!!!!! AH GONG's shop burnt down last Tues (9/12) 5am in the morning.. Papa, Justin and I went to Tampuruli this morning to pay a visit to uncles and aunties whose shops and home were brutally swallowed by fire last week .. 3 of my cousins' shops were destroyed - oldest uncle grocery and stationery shops, and another uncle's kopi tiam n home (he n auntie live upstairs).. sadddddddd... these shops were old and there were many memories, the earliest memories from childhood for me, my sis/bro n I believe for all my cousins on my mom side as well. We always stopped by at their shops to get free snacks n drinks when traveling to Mt Kinabalu or Kiulu for water rafting~ sigh sigh~ In fact, my oldest uncle inherited the grocery shop from my grandpa~ so lots of precious memories especially for my mom who grew up in Tampuruli~
So we met uncles n aunties and fortunately they were not seemed too depressed at all... Dad suggested to go on vacation during CNY so they dont have to worry too much about it, and what else can Dad suggest besides gambling in Macau? I thought it was only dad's desire to go to Macau... but my uncles were like "oh yeah, my passport got burnt but no problem at all.. I can reissue new passport easily......... " and they kept going on and on about casinos and how the Chinese government now restricts their own people to enter Macau so the money dont flow out to all the US casinos............. And finally, they talked about rebuilding the shops but it will cost about 500K so not sure if the shops will be rebuilt and oldest uncle said he will retire formally now Hehe.
My family n I were planning to go to Okinawa to experience the Cherry Blossom festivals this CNY but flights were fully booked from HK, Taipei, Shanghai .. a bit too late to plan so dad postponed to 2010~ sad sad~ I don't mind Macau though cuz I can go bungee jump n I love gambling, but sylvia n sheri n gary probably find it uninteresting, as sylvia said, she been thr 4 times ady this year... n they not keen to gamble at all =.=
Another sad news is Takashi wont be coming to KK anymore this Christmas =T.T= =T.T= =T.T= =T.T= He's in Taiwan now... and he's too busy to make time .. plus I think the ticket quite expensive to book now.. I prefer him to save money and spend it on food... Uncle Allen (Justin's dad) met him in Tokyo last week for dinner and he told me that Takashi has lost weight T.T They met in KK before hehe Uncle also told me he's a good guy , a very smart guy and he cares about me very much :D :D :D :D but .. but .. but .. but but but but BUT uncle asked if I can get used to marrying a Japanese guy as he will be a very busy man like how he is now and that means he will not have much time to spend with me......... aaaaaahhh nonononono We now focus on our own career first <-- I replied. Very irrelevant answer I know =P
Ok lets talk about some good news now, another cousin of mine got pregnant!! woohoo~~~ my oldest uncle's youngest daughter, fen fen jie jie, 4 months old pregnant! Her very first baby so im really happy for her =) I just hope that she will experience a great birth and have a healthy baby in June next year which is my last wish for this year :) Also Congratulations!! to my best friend, Michiyo for passing all her exams~ hehehe Cant wait for you to come home, kiak kiak!!!
