A story of 3rd uncle

These two rings are made of truck engine's valves. My 3rd uncle was a machinery chop operator when he was alive. Whenever I looked at these rings, the story from many years ago came alive and everything go through infront of me again.

When I was little, my parents sent me to my 3rd uncle, so my 3rd aunty will be able to take care of me whilst my parents go to work and my siblings go to school. Technically, I'm very close to my uncle since I spent most of the time together at my uncle house, and once I got home to my parents, there goes 8 hours sleep and the day after going to my uncle house again.

I still remember the day when we went and visit uncle at the hospital, the family said he will be discharge from the hospital care the day after. Pending doctor morning consultation and he'll be home. We wasn't expect he recovered so well, and we were celebrating, singing and praying together in the hospital(ofcourse gently without affecting other people in the hospital). We had fun there until very late at night, chit chatting about stuff we used to do. Everything felt so right, other than I need to go home and prepare for my school examination. After we saw uncle brushes his teeth and lay him on bed, told him a bible story and he's ready to sleep. We switch off the lights and left the hospital.

Little did we expect, the next morning 4 o'clock in the morning, hospital called in and told us uncle is at the emergency, battling for his breathe. We rushed there to find his body on the bed. He's gone, just like that. The body is his body, but he's not in it anymore. I put my right hand on his shoulder, I can still feel a little bit of body heat, but that is not him anymore.

Like it or not, life is very fragile. My friend was asking whether should she stay in the hospital since the mother is in critical condition, and herself had a broken hip bones that currently connected with steel plates, which causing her a lot of pain. It suddenly reminds me of my uncle and what happened to myself. These little rings on me will always reminds me we should seize the opportunity. Many things happened in our life without us noticing it, until the day I finds we passed those opportunity, and there's no turning back. What if we stayed back in the hospital the night before my uncle passed away? There's no what if, but what left in me is a little bit of regret.

The day

My friend Mary is from Seremban. Do not know why, I have many best friend from Seremban despite I only work there for about a year and a half. No I did not get to know Mary from Seremban, she came to work in Petaling Jaya and we met recently and turn buddy. We're at the head office today for a morning meeting. Shot was taken originally for an album cover, but it was spoiled due to my fat thigh blocking the shoe stepping action.


Is it me fat? Or the shirt shrunk? And do you realized, when you're in the elevator, the reflection always shows that we're slimmer and taller than what we really are? Absolutely love this shot.

The food

Lunch is provided, and it's about time for me to have my breakfast. I accidentally skipped my breakfast due to heavy traffic, by the time I reached head office, meeting is about to start and I don't wanna risk getting caught having breakfast during office hour. I had some mixed vege fried potatoes, griled dory fish, and roast chicken for brunch. I was going to add more, but there's only limited food, so yeah.


After lunch I had to rush to Balakong and Kajang to meet several clients to discuss some important matter and deliver mooncakes to them. Whilst waiting for my client, grab a cup of teh tarik(milk tea). Seriously, why do mamak(Indian Muslims) always make extremely sweet tea? May be because of the extra sweetness, this actually taste even better than normal Indian tea. Not that I like sweet, but if they put less sweetened milk, the taste probably taste less likely good.


Dinner was a little off though. A plate of Rojak(mixed vegetable and rice biscuits with boiled egg in peanut curry paste). Added with a glass of tea. Note that I was asking for a plain tea, and they still managed to dump a pot of sugar in it.
