As you age

Its Chinese New Year. God knows how many times (I know the exact numbers, just refused to acknowledged it)I have celebrated it todate! Like clock work, I can even lay out the exact 'itineary' from the eve of CNY onwards ...

Eve - dinner at mom's. i wait at my place, she calls when dinner is about to be served, i drove over (6 mins or less), sat down and shout KONG HEE FATT CHOY!!, starts dinner and 30 mins or maybe 45 mins later, I self pat on my bubble butt and leave

Day of CNY - same thing, wait for mom's call for brunch to be serve, drives over, start with offering of tea with numerous auspicious greeting sentences to mom and dad, eats brunch - vegetarian food only, while eating, mom hands over the ang pow, 20 mins later, leaves.

Rest of CNY while on leave - laze on my bed or sofa or arm chair, dvd permanently switched on, occassionally takes a nap, wake up, more dvds.

Today, 30 mins ago, was checking my fb and discovered a post that says, Caecar Chong has passed away due to lymphatic cancer! Just like that, at 36. Struggled a few month, then pass away. What the ... ! May he rest in peace.



And as my title goes, as you age, you get to see more of such 'passing', sigh .. like what the chinese saying goes ... SUNG, LOW, BANG, SAY (read it in cantonese) ... but WHY??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just can't wait for the day when an eternal potion is created! ... with youth extracts too!
