We managed to arrive in penang on the 28 october,and went straight to the adventist hospital where my mum was hospitalize at about 11pm.
We called her and she managed to open her eyes for a while,I told her who I am and ask her ,does she understand what I said.She blinked her eyes to confirm,and later Kacang also did the same things like I did.
My mum seems to be in a semi conscious condition.We both told her not to worry about us or our family,as we are all alright,then she blink her eyes again to confirm.Later ,Dr.lou ,her specialist doctor came in to meet us,and explained her conditions to us.
He told us that my mum is just trying her best to hang on ,as my sisters told her ,we will be arriving today. Dr.Lou told me,my sisters can't decide wheather to bring her home or not as my mum wanted to go home so much when she was able to speak time.
So I asked DR.Lou,would my mum suffered if everything is taken off when she is taken back home? Dr.Lou ,took off all the equipments,like her drips and oxygen,to let me see for 10 minutes,he says,my mum will be in this condition when she is at home.He later told us that he extended these things ,so that my mum can hang on until,she gets to meet us.
Later I phone my sisters who are waiting at home,it is best to get mama home as it is her wish.When I told my mum that we are taking her home,she opened her eyes so big.It was so different when we spoke to her earlier time.
We managed to get her home in an ambulance at 1.30 am,and from the ambulance to her room in my sister's house,she kept her eyes wide open.
We rest her in her bedroom and talk to her .We asked her is she happy now and also all her childern is beside her now? She blinked her eyes to confirm again.
We all went to bed at about 4am,and wake up at 6am to check on her again.
She was still hanging on,so all her children went into her room to chat with her,but she was still struggling to breath..
We were very confused and sad,so at last,we decided to call the siamese priests from Pulau tikus temple,to come and pray for her.
The head priest and his assistant head priest arrive and when they saw her,the head priest ask us all to pray with them to lead my mum to the correct way to the other world as she is very confuse and afraid.
We prayed along with the priests and later my elder sister and young sister sent the priest back.
We noticed something different about my mum,her swelling face and broken cracked lips started to change.Her swelling neck and face returned to normal,and her lips and tongue with all those sores were gone and they looks so pinkish.But her breathing started to decrease from 3 times per breath to 2 times per breath.We all called out to her to hang on as my 2 other sisters is trying to be back as fast as they can.We saw her tear drop from one side of her eye,then her breathing started to drop to 1 time per breath....and when my 2 other sisters came back, enter her room and hold her hands,and called "mama",my mum drops her last tears and stop breathing..
We all were holding on to her body until she left us,and crying non stop.Even now as I am writing this blog about my mum,my tears is dripping non stop..I miss you so much ..Mama...
WE arranged for her funeral and held a "kong teck"with a big house and every thing in it for her.The funny thing is on the "kong teck"night ,we were crying non stop when they did the toaist prayers to sent her off to the other world.
The wind and rain were so strong each time they try to chant the prayers,and the "sai kong"ask us not to cry as my mum refused to goes off as she is also sad to see her children cry.
So we try again to control our tears,and the wind and rain stops for a while but in the middle of the chanting,some of my sisters can't control ,and started to cry again,then all of us cry again...then the strong wind n rain came again.
The "sai kong" says it is best we control ourselves,so we did it on the third time,and the rain n wind stop,and we managed to burnt her house and things for her to bring to the other world.
On the day of her funeral,we cry non stop as we sent her off with the siamese priests chanting in front of her casket car and inside the casket car is the "sai kong".We were all holding on to the casket car and calling to her to cross bridge each time when we passes one.That is the worst moments of our life as we were all crying non stop..
We cremated her in Mount Erskine and also bought a "condominumn"there for her on the 8 level .We went to collect her ashes and bone on the 7 days and put them into her urn,and also to perform the first 7 days ceremony.
That "condominumn"consist of only 2 stories,so my mum's "condominumn" is on the upper floor.I too bought one on the 7 level,and had the urn covered with "red cloth" with a "hock" wording,as I am still alive.I told my mum if it is god wishes,when my time is up,I want to be near her.She give me a "sin pui"when we went to do the first 7 days ceremony at her "condominium".
Before I end this blog,I would like to thank DR.Lou Yok Chon,the stuff nurse and nurses of adventist hospital,for taking so good care of my mum.I would also like to thank all our friends and relatives who attended her funeral.
"Mama,I will always love you in my heart..you are the best mother I could ever have..may you rest in peace..."
