Hearts are made to be broken
i'm sorry i can't do this anymore
so the new year came and went. probably not too profitable this year because we aren't really celebrating after ahma's death. and u. tommy too.
the new year started with goodbyes and a little sadness. brandon and his family left for home (read: Washington, California and Arizona. they are a complicated family) and me and the family at the airport.
i got a few angbaos here and there. so i'm satisfied.
as usual, we met at the aunt's place. off to the temple to pay our respects to ahma. i miss her so much. it's still settling in that she's gone. as i walked into my aunt's place, right infront of the door was the brown chair she use to sit in every single day, every single time we saw her, every single new year.
she never went visiting with us since 11 years ago. yet she made it a point to physically wrap our angpows and attempt to stand up to give it us. mind you, this is a woman who can't even comb her own hair.
of course we always get to her before we get to time.
there was this one year though, i remember she just got discharged from the hospital and we were going over to the house to meet her for new year. but to our utter suprise and disbelief, she was clinging on to the door with my aunt holding her tightly. There were tears down her cheeks and my aunts.
she just said, gong hei fatt choi.
and my aunt said that my ahma wanted to be at the door to welcome us.
it was the last new year we had together.
anyway, after the temple, it was good food at carlton hotel. and we feasted. i have to bring someone there one day.
off to shaun's place where i made 62 bucks from in-between. i must play it with you guys one day. most lucrative game to date.
we had my grandma's famous mee siam, which she taught me how to make. i am going to go nuts now with the mee siam. oh yes, she made her beef and potatoe stew, her beef curry and teriyaki chicken (which the sauce she made from scratch). ah. i was so gone by the end of the night.
still i made it to meet my gang for late night drinks and fags. we had fun and it helped that we were all loaded. met amelia, this pretty cute girl. demure demure she is.
back to rus's place to chill for a bit after sending nick home. congrats on the new catch nick. ha. then we almost KILLED kenneth. haha. you had to be there. homeward.
this morning, i was greeted by the famour five:
samuel - "if i was a superhero, i will beat superman's backside ok."
vera - [in her korean costume] "HAPPY KOREAN NEW YEAR!"
matthew - [after giving him gummy bears] "Will you be my girl friend?"
karis - part one
reina - part two.
