// when the weather says it all //

when i was taking the lrt back home just now at sk, the sun's rays were so bright, it was shining right into my eyes.
i managed to get a seat, hence decided to rest my eyes for a while.
however, when the lrt got to my station, i was rather apalled by the dark clouds looming over the area.
when i got home, i was greeted by the sight of my sobbing mum, announcing the bad news.
Gone.
My second aunt didn't even got past the chinese new year.
Within a month of receiving the bad news about her ill health, she's gone.
Just last year, her whole family came from Malaysia to visit us.
In the earlier years, she and my uncle slogged for many years to raise their children up.
My cousins did not let their parents down, studying hard and excel in their careers.
In recent years, my 2nd aunt and uncle were the envy of everyone.
Their first taste of their fruits of labour was when their eldest son graduated from uni, landed a good job and got married.
My cousin drove his family here to visit us last year.
At that time, we were commenting on how blissful my uncle and aunt looked, when they played with their first grandson.
Happines don't last forever.
How true.
