It's true what Jasryn said about Chinese New Year being about a family gathering and all..
It's not really a happy Chinese New Year this year for my family
and no,it's not because
Thus, we do not have any reunion dinner this year.
and this morning, we received a shocking phone call from my aunt.
My grandmother had a stroke. A serious one too.
We all rushed to the Adventist Hospital only to see my grandmother being transferred to Loh Guan Lye because it's the eve of Chinese New Year and there are no neurologist around.
After a few scans and all, we found out that she's had quite a serious stroke and that she has to be under strict observations for 72 hours in hopes of it becoming stable and it won't worsen.
Another thing to worry about is her weak heart and irregular heart beats.
It saddens me to know that my grandmother who cooks us good food all the time won't be able to cook for us anymore now that she's paralyzed on one side.
It saddens me to to see my aunts and uncle so worried about her and what to do.
It saddens me to see my grandmother lying on the bed in ICU, semi unconscious instead of celebrating the eve of Chinese New Year with us.
I guess all I can really do now is to just pray and hopefully she'll recover soon enough.
Chinese New Year visitation thingy will start in the hospital tomorrow morning.
Suddenly, Chinese New Year is not about wearing new clothes, eating good food, and receiving red packets anymore.
It's not really a happy Chinese New Year this year for my family
and no,it's not because
- there are less kids playing with firecrackers around
- there are less decorations being put up this year
- there are less chinese new year songs being played almost everywhere
Thus, we do not have any reunion dinner this year.
