Saw Uncle Chan's photo in the papers today.....OMG!
There was a blast at one old folk's place in Jalan Bukit Merah Block 105. I heard and saw the news 2 days back and was thinking if it was near to Sarah. Sarah is a senior activities centre which offers the old folks a place to gather for game and assistance. In my years in NTU, i was involved in a project, Rolling good times which has given me the opportunity to know the old folks, teach them to play games, communicate with them and spend time with them. I could remember vividly that Uncle Chan as the uncle who would cook green bean soup for the folks and us volunteers, to distribute. He is a abled uncle who could look after himself. Living opposite is Auntie Chan. Auntie can speak little Mandarin and i've tried to use my little Cantonese to converse with her. As she have weak knees and need help walking, i was following her everywhere during the event. She treated me like her god daughter.
And now, Uncle Chan has left and Auntie Chan is still in the ICU. I can't believe that someone who i used to spend time with suffered such injuries. A tragedy.
Tears flow down my face as i expressed my sadness. Goodbye Uncle Chan, please take care and hope your journey to heaven is smooth.
Auntie Chan, allow me to silently give you my support and strength to fight the battle of survival. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
Thank you both for giving me such wonderful memories. God bless you.
