Ah Mah has gone to heaven, but all of us still can remember her stories given to us.
Actullay Ah Mah were born in GongDong, but ath the age of 3 she moved Macau raised by my grandmother. My grandmother were born in Hong Kong never married at all. My grandmother is very tall and beautiful. My grandmother liked me alot, and she loves to tell stories. The stories of ghost and chinese tradition events. And my Ah Mah used to tell stories to one of my sister lived in Melbourne. Knowing Ah Mah, her lifestyle between Hongkong and Macau. My mother used to played with a portuguese girl, came from a rich family. She used to go to church, believing the catholic style, but my grandmother wasn't a catholic. At the age of 16, Ah Mah fell in love with a portugese man in Macau. My grandmother were afraid to lived alone, and she asked Ah Mah to get married to a man that, match make by her. She said, either you married a rich handicap man, or a poor handsome man. Ah Mah married to my father born from Gongdong. Knowing my grandfather has a land in china. Who robbed the land in china, there's a story in it. After Ah Mah got married, Ah Pak brings Ah Mah to Singapura. Actually Ah Pah has land and a shop in Malaysia. His business is dealing with bicylces, cleaning and repairation motor cars. His brother wasn't rich, and Ah Pah gave away his land and shop to his brother in Malaysia. Since Ah Pah got married to Ah Mah, he want to gives Ah Mah a good lifestyle than moved to Singapura. Ah Mah had a maid at home, she called her ah mah chaire. Ah Mah Chaire do all the housework and educated children. Ah Pah used to travelled to Malaysia for business. He taught a japanese man how to be rich in Malaysia. Car tyres that rubber planation in malaysia. Just like all chinese men, good in business without going to a business school. It's an ancient brain storm, that brings forwards to the next generation. That's why chinese often liked to talk business, and to get rich very fast!! Ah Mah gong, She only can remebered her sister got killed during the japanese war. Her sister were supposed to visit her in Singapura, but due to the war, she got killed on her boatship. The bomb drop just like "A drop of water". From that onward, Ah Mah didn't want any of her children to married to a japanese man. Ah Pak is very intelligent dealing business with indonesia and malaysian people, he spoke in bahasa malayeu. Ah Pak favourite thing is his birds. Burong kakatua and kissing birds, beside that he liked to change new car. Ah Pak liked to buy diamonds and jade for Ah Mah, to pleased her when he's away for business. My grandmother often tell us stories, and my mother taught us how to be smart to do things by ourselves, at early age 3 years old. Washing, cooking and sewing a cloth by ourselves. Just cut 2 holes without a zip, using our lady fingers to touch everything. Now I trainned my dog to be smarter, after we had lost our first expensive dog in this pool. Cantonese supersitious, a dog must be well taken cared. Never chase a dog away, if you ever do that, you will be bad luck for years!! When a dog died, we have to return 9 life, it's a supersitious way of life for cantonese people.
