Never knew it would come so soon

Never knew it would come so soon

When it came

All I was left with was those memories we used to share

Every single bit of smiles I ever had

All the bad Hokkiens I tried to bring across

Even the Hacks sweet that was always on the kitchen table

The tiles I ran when I was so little back in the Clementi Home

When I had no cousins, just my brothers, just our family

You saw us grew up

You played a part

The times when you came to my place and helped with the house work

When papa mama quarrelled, you always scream at them

When I was performing on stage, you were there watching

My first ever plane ride, you were with me

I always look forward to say "gong xi fa cai" during Chinese New Year

Those times when you'd scold me when mama complain to you

When we grew up, and we frequent your place lesser

It still feels the same when you smile and held my hand

"Ai Ping ah" you would called out and I will smile back at you

The times when we visited Ah gong's grave, when you would teared but stayed strong

You always choose and pick your food

Sometimes you complain about your son's wife

Most times when you dote on your grandchildren

The times when you were strong while waiting to be treated

You stayed strong

papa always asked me to give you a call before I take off to any countries

We always say the same thing, you'd ask me to take care, I'd ask you to rest plenty

You were so sick but you still recognized me, you still held my hand, you still waved goodbye

Those images of you flashing right in front of me

so vividly

Those last moments

The times I stayed awake to finish this journey with you

for the last time

I was so tired, but I couldn't sleep

Those images playing over and over

Unable to accept the fact that you are gone

No more calls to tell you I'm flying

No more scoldings from you when I do wrong things

No more "Ah mah, rest plenty"

Ah mah, I thought you will be fine...

I thought you will spend more times with us

I thought...

But I'm glad you left painless, you left without struggle... I'm glad you slept off...

Ah Mah, 慢慢走，我们都会好好...
