Today 6th of December, after waking up I started to listen to chinese new songs. This remind me of the old days while in the rubber estate where we always get excited as our neighbours will come together to help one another in making cookies and other chinese goodies. The most memorable moment include my dad making the lap yok the dried chinese pork where he hang the pork to dry in the backyard hangging on he bamboo poles. ( the pork was marinated earlier ) Mom will do her usual ni koh steamming from a big pot. We are so poor until festival day only we can eat chicken even though we rear a lot of chickens and ducks. Chicken and pork prawns are luxuries only available during the new year.
Dad sau choi tong was the best soup I had ever taken until now. Maybe it was because of the love he showered into our life. In adversity we never blame ourselves although there were squabbles and fights among us.
I don't know how we can survive without electricity but we were doing fine without it last time.
Remembering those days where we live under the coconut trees......
Sigh...... what a beautiful memory....... the smell of the morning dew will never be found again?
The fear of centipide and scorpions, snakes make us more cautious and safety wary. Now we become more worry about bigger snakes and scorpions that can move fast ie cars and lorries that can kill and maim us as most of our time is on the road.
Ha ha fear then will never vanish, so why worry? Enjoy what you have now. Be prudent and careful as God gave us this beautidul moment to enjoy.
