My grandmother's 28th death anniversary. Every year on this day the whole family from my mum's generation till my nieces and nephews would gather in my elders uncle's place to pay our respects to my grandmother by conducting a short prayer, with offering of her favourite foods, fruits,drinks etc etc without fail. This year was the same, only diff was the food offerings got larger in quantity as the family bloodlines are expanding by the years.
Anyway,this year was really a memorable one. My mum consumed something that she had an allergy to, and she had a verybad reaction to it. Her whole face swelled up like a goldfish!! She looked no different from the monkey god that the chinese worship.....Myself, my sister and my cousin rushed her to the hospital-TTSH immediately, these are the times where having a car is like a godsent....reached TTSH at 3.00am waited for 20mins and she was admitted for observation.
I had to go back to my uncle's place to fetch my dad and niece send them back home, took a quick nap and rushed down again to the hospital the following morning at 7.00am....my eye were almost tearing in fatigue...waited for the doctor to arrive which was almost 3.00pm, reviewes my mum's condition and discharged her.
Now she's recuperating at home.....
Thank God!!
