Hui Lai Fun 1929-2021 โ๏ธ
As a child, you would take me to Chinatown near Soho and show me off to a different friend every few steps we walked. You seemed to know everyone in the restaurant. And when I couldnโt reply in Cantonese, youโd cluck loudly what a shameful Chinese granddaughter I was for not speaking my mother tongue.
When I was a teen, youโd STILL take to the SAME dim sum restaurant in Chinatown; but we bumped into less people cos more of your friends had passed on.
When I was in my 20s, youโd look so confused every time I told you a different boyfriendโs name ๐ง and call me naughty for changing them too often. ๐
You were outspoken, funny and daring. Once, i took you to the Tate where there was a piece of rope exhibited on the ground, as part of a Dadaism contemporary art show. You said so loudly, โWhat is this?! I also can do!โ not believing it was art, and proceeded to nudge it with your foot much to my horror. ๐
You had ailments towards the end of your life, like walking difficulties and Alzheimerโs, but they could stimes magically disappear. Like when you jumped out of the car in Seremban without your wheelchair when you wanted to eat hakka mee, and gave everyone a heart attack. ๐ All your 3 children were shouting cos they thought you fell out, but you were already zooming towards the restaurant ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐
So many funny moments with you.
Grateful for them.
Grateful i got to be one of your four granddaughters.
[you also had a grandson and a great grandson. Im sorry the rest of us took / am taking so long.]
Grateful you are at peace and reunited with Yeye.

We demand:
1) The resignation of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
2) The convening of Parliament
- Malaysia has gone without Parlimen for 181 days since 1st March 2020.
โผ๏ธTrigger warningโค๏ธโ๐ฉนRecap of a bunch of superWTF moments for me:
- the #raisethewhiteflag #benderaputih movement was kickstarted by the rakyat to help those in desperate need of food (ppl eating leaves/stray dogs?! Stealing pet food to feed their kids?!) Then threatened that itโs illegal/political. How liddis
- People are isolated, broke, committing suicide. Disallowing parks to open or hikes in nature (Socially-distanced! Lowers depression!) as part of SOP makes no sense. [5.6.21 lifting in certain states]
- This grand plan to give $ to the people from their own EPF / retirement fundโฆ Daymn, what happened to all that 1MDB mahnay?
- Business-owners being slapped with RM10k fines for tiny misdemeanours of them trying to run business past a certain hour / langgar SOP lain. Dahlah struggling to stay afloatโฆ how pitiful for them!
- That amayzing RM75mil app which we all know coulda cost less than 10% of that
- While the attention is on trying to save the economy, unscrupulous actions in raping our country of its remaining natural resources (and animal poaching!) goes on in the bg๐
The worst is yet to come with the new variants which are more aggressive and subtle, while our hospitals are already packed to the brim.
There is so much to think of and worry about. So many communities with no support or rights - orang asli, foreign workers, refugees, etc.
There is so much potential in younger, smarter, HONEST and more compassionate leaders who can take our country forward.
I have hope.
We all have hope.
We should be able to choose whom we want to lead us.

P/s: Iโve always believed the planet is my home. I feel less entitled to Malaysia, so I have no negative intention of posting this. Just summarizing the news that have been on my friendsโ & my minds.
