19th February 2007, Monday Today's breakfast danny ate with tears. What normally would be a joyous day for most chinese family is a far cry from the reality that falls upon them. The new year have been unkind to them.
This morning he woke up at three to the sound of his mum waking up. She is restless. He guess the pill she took yesterday has wear off. He doubt she recall what has happen the other day and he hope dearly that she doesn't. He only wish she would get well soon. He miss his mum.
At noon, he caught himself crying in silence from inside his room. He realized she haven't gotten any better. He told himself that he need to be strong and this is just a passing phase. It will all go away like a bad dream on a rainy day. Taking a deep breath he step out of the room. Once outside he could hear his mum's light hum. She's humming to the song playing on the tele. He recognized the song immediately. It was by her favourite singer, Alan Tam. He cried. Not wanting her to see him like this, he took the towel behind the door and casually told her that he's going to take a shower. The tears that flows down after that failed to wash away the sorrows that he has inside him. He's trembling. Not from the cold water, but from his heart. He can't stand seeing his mum like this. He wants to help her. He wants her to be okay. He pray every second of the day that his mum would be well again. He really miss his mum.
For danny, chinese new year wouldn't be the same again after this.
