No, it is not about the horoscope Cancer..... Well, listen to the whole story will yah.... Today I lost one of my cousin, to cancer. Yep, the disease cancer..... Too bad I can not go back to Penang, or at Penang to pay my last respect to her.
I am not very close to her actually. She live at the Wellesley Province, while I live in Penang Island. So I rarely get to see her. She is about 20 years old elder than me (so is most of my cousin), so we have less common ground. Besides she is always away giving tuitions to other students. The time that I get to see and talk to her is during Chinese New Year. When she is not giving tuition classes and at around the house. From what I've recalled, she was alone all the time. Don't remember she got married (Leong's curse: Every Leong is kinda curse to be single). She worked very hard to earn a decent (or maybe rather huge amount) of money. Staying indoors, in air-conditioned room to give tuition classes (Malaysian's terminology for extra classes besides school classes). And you think cancer is only caused by excess interaction with any radioactive.....
4 months ago, when my mom told me that she was diagnosed with cancer, I was quite shock. I was rather worry. But after my mom's visit, she told me that my cousin looked fine. After that, she was allowed to go back home. I thought she can win this fight. But alas, today, she lost the battle.
I could not write any further.
So this will be my last respect to you Ah Khum Piew Cheh:
Sorry I did not make any efforts to get to know you well. But I hope you can read this wherever you are. May you rest in peace.
