Remember them?

Do you still remember them? Currently, all of them are staying in Penang. Taken during the funeral of my dad.

RIP: Mrs. Lim ("Lan Shen" or "Lan Lau She")

Besides losing my father, to those who are unaware, we have also lost a beloved Khoon Aik school female teacher that I used to call "Ah Bird Auntie" (during my pre-school years) or "Lan Shen" (when I started schooling). Most of you should be calling her "Lan Lau She".

In case you can't recall her, she was a cheerful teacher. She is a bit chubby but I don't consider her overweight (just my personal opinion). She wore spectacles. Her husband was a Khoon Aik school teacher too - he's Mr. Lim. He passed way in the 80s I believe. She lived in Lorong 3 corner house in Taman Perlis. I have no idea what subjects she specialised in but she taught me science in Standard 3 I think. I still remember enjoying her class because she had never scolded/punished anyone and always loved to tell us stories including some ghost stories.

Here's my personal relationship with her:

When I was a little boy, I loved to go over her house which was next to my house in Kampung Bakau (near SMP). I remember she and her husband pampered me so much. Whenever, I was crying, she would sometimes brought me over to her house and gave me jelly, kuih or ice cream to calm me down. When the area was flooded, his son that I called "Ah Bird Ko Ko" (mispronunciation of Albert) would often catch fishes for me. Even after moving to Taman Perlis, I remember staying a few times with Mr. & Mrs. Lim when my parents were in Penang. I still remember that she took me for a movie at Capitol cinema during one of my stays. I would say that I was very close to her when I was a kid.

The last time I talked to her was when my mom passed away. She apologised for unable to drop by for the funeral because she was not feeling well. I didn't realised that the phone call was our final conversation too (just like my phone call to my mom the day before she passed away). I was shocked to hear that "Lan Shen" passed away when I tried to reach her when my dad passed away. During our last conversation, she still offered me to drop by at her house to stay overnight like when I was a little boy.

I still remember very well that she used to nicknamed my dad as "Lau Hero". I can't believe that they're all gone now and I still feel like a little boy.

I hope she rests in peace just like my parents.

YY/PL, please help to moderate the comment if there is any.

Thanks

Eerie Dream

I had a weird nightmare last night. We were having our SMP gathering. It was so much fun and excitement for me to meet so many people I had not met for ages. Trust me, the scale of the gathering was very huge. It's even bigger than our gathering in Penang. The people attended were people I least expected including Soo Aun and Kean Keong. I even joked with them as if they were alive, especially Kean Keong since I had not seen him for more than a decade. Everyone looked so much younger than when I last met all of you. Even those from overseas were around i.e. Lee Za, Jasmin Foo, etc. I remember PL, KK, CC and YY were around too. As I joked and joked, when I mentioned Kean Keong and Soo Aun, someone (I think Chin Hin) stopped me and reminded me that they had passed away. Then I was stunned and all my hair stood up!!! I was told to ignore them as if I had not seen them because they were not supposed to be there. I was not the only one that saw Soo Aun and Kean Keong though. Many of us saw them but I was the only one joking with our dead friends without any fear. How weird!!!

Then I was awaken by an SMS my sister sent mentioning that my dad was vomiting blood and currently he's in the hospital for check up. I am still waiting for further news.

I'm a light sleeper this week because I am on 24 hours support duty this week. Any slight noise can easily wake me up especially sound from handphones.

婆媳不和的六大理由

为什么从古到今婆媳总是不和？经过专家仔细分析后发现原因有六个：…

1）家婆花五年时间教会儿子如何穿裤子，可是媳妇却用不了五秒钟，就能叫儿子把裤子给脱了！

2）家婆用有奶的乳房哺育了儿子的生命。可是媳妇却用没奶的乳房欺骗了儿子一生。

3）儿子累了一天，妈妈会看着儿子入睡，可是媳妇晚上还罚儿子做掌上压，还要一齐高喊啊哟！

4）家婆痛到半死把儿子从下面生出来，但是媳妇却爽到半死要儿子从下面进入。

5）家婆在儿子小时候为他洗白白，但是媳妇却要长大的儿子为她‘洗锅’。

6）家婆千辛万苦才教会儿子如何射尿，但是媳妇却不用教也能让儿子连精都射出来..

What's Your Plan on Hungry Ghost Festival?

What's your plan for tomorrow night (3rd Sep 2009)? Have you been hearing noise or seeing "things" in the past few days? If not, try to look carefully and listen carefully :)

I have been hearing "things" even before Hungry Ghost Festival. Example: furniture shifting at the apartment above mine, dropping marbles at the apartment above mine and keyboard typing sound in my office when I was alone. I got so used to them now that I have been immune :) I have been watching Korean Ghost Story alone in the dark for the past few days. Again I have been immune.

However, right after midnight, my online friend told me he saw "something" approaching him when playing games on his PC. My hair stood up immediately. I guess real life story is more likely to scare the shit out of me :)

So, post some ghost stories to share lah....:)
