小舅于2008年7月21日离开了我们.
他临终时只有40岁.
小舅生前经营 Monfort 学校食堂.
在过去的4天里, 很多 Monfort 的师生, 食堂的员工, 供应商等, 都前来吊念.
从他们口中我才第一次真正认识小舅.
每次食堂发生学生打架事件, 小舅都是第一时间赶到劝架.
对于迷失方向的同学, 他都会尽全力开导.
要买水, 但钱不够, 没关系, 明天才还. 解渴重要.
学校办活动需要奖品, 他好不犹豫赞助了一辆100多块的脚车.
旁晚6点多, 食堂的员工都差不多收工了. 打扫的啊嫂问小舅为什么还没回家, 小舅说就快了, 但先送纸皮给某啊嫂了才回.
一位和他感情不错的 Vitagen 供应商每次有困难, 小舅都会帮忙. 有一次供应商家里有事, 小舅热心地载她去见一位自己信任的僧人, 以寻求心灵上的安慰.
每个月, 某老人院收到的几箱几箱的牛奶粉, 都是 小舅免费送去的.
每次家庭聚会, 他都会亲切地叫我一声 "菱啊", 然后关心我的近况.
每个家庭聚会, 一定少不了几道小舅的拿手好菜.....
小舅是一个好人.
但命运注定他要在这个时候离开. 我们虽然很难过, 很舍不得, 可是命运的事, 我们没有办法控制.
佛教中有个说法: 生命是苦的 (人生充满了不圆满).
或许这是小舅前世今生修来的福, 累积的德, 能少受些苦.
知道他现在得到了解脱, 得到了平静, 应该就是对我们最大的安慰.Labels: Reminiscer

Hello Blog.
It's time to dust off the 3 inch thick dust accumulated on you.
PA has officially ended. Last day of work was bitter sweet. Happy to embrace my 2 weeks zo4 bo2 break, yet sad to leave the ppl, the airport pass, the biggie A380 and the nasi lemak behind at the airline house....
OK..., at least they gave us an A380 collectible to display in out rooms so we did not eactly leave A380 behind at Airline house...
Actually, despite PA, this sem break has been pretty happening:
A) 21st Bdae dinners/ parties:
1.Serene (@ a resturant near dhoby Ghaut)
2.Weilin (@ MINDS cafe)
3.Amy & Alps(@ Sushi Tei)
4.Xiao Ting (@ her hse, BBQ)
B) Movies:
1. Iron Man
2. Sex and the City
3. Kungfu Panda
4. 10 Promises to my Dog
5. Red Cliff
C) K BOX! :
I think I went for a total of 3 sessions for far. Still nothing compared to VonSao's experience la (like what.. 10 times since sem break started?. Hahahas =P).
D) Short getaway trip: Malacca!
And yes, admist PA and stuff, we still managed to squeeze in a short trip to Msia. At first we wanted to go Hotboys Kelong. But we realised tt adding up the transport fees, it is not so worth it afterall.
So.. our next target: Desaru. Unfortunately enough, FM95.8 is bringing a freaking 500 ppl there on that same wkend. Too bad for us, we could not get any hotel rooms. =(
In the end, the only suitable destination is Malacca. Seems like the last place on earth young ppl like us would go. But that was the only choice we had. And we went.
But it indeed was a totally smashing trip! I would say we accomplished a lot within the 2 days 1 night (actually, minus out the travelling time, we were only there for 1 day to be exact) We sight see, shopped, watched movie, makan the nice food we wanted to eat, and did some more last min shopping again!
Thanks guys - Amy, Ash, Alps and Gun, for making this trip a success! =)
E) Meeting up with friends:
1. Breakfast with CPF friends.
Because of everyone's schedule, it was difficult to plan for a meet up. YY -working from 3pm till 12 am (did i rmber correctly?), Hock ge - Army, Aunty Ang - working on sats and on shifts.
Haiya, we should meet up again for a nice proper meal.
2. Dinner with Xiao Ting and vonsao n gang.
She's going for her GIP to Shanghai this coming weds... For 6 mths!
Take care XT! When u come back, most prob will be speaking in mandarin to us. Hahas. :p
F) FYP meetings:
Oh gosh.... a couple of sats and evenings were spent discussing FYP. But with not much progress. Arrrgh!
But whatever the case, we ARE so gonna get an A at the end of the whole thing.
