It was a sad week, learning that YB Karpal Singh has passed away in a car accident. Mummy was more than determined to attend the wake of the late YB. Somehow Emeryn knows who is the late YB Karpal was. We had fond memory of him especially last year during the election campaign. His huge banner was everywhere near our residential area. And yes, he was the Bukit Gelugor constituency. During that same time, Emeryn was in her cast and on her stroller (a replacement for wheelchair) after her leg injury. She was having the cast for at least 6weeks and mummy used to teased her. Mummy has to pushed her everywhere she goes, which reminiscent the late YB Karpal. Each time when mummy teased Emeryn of being the late YB's girlfriend, she would got mad. That's the memory we had. So mummy asked if Emeryn wanted to attend the wake along with mummy and she replied "Yes".
On Sat, Emeryn attended her classes as usual and mummy picked her at 5pm. We then headed straight to the late YB Karpal's residence. A traffic congestion started about 400m before his residence. We parked at the Youth Park entrance and walked across to hi residence. We queued to go into the living hall to pay our last respect and bade him farewell. The crowd was tremendously supportive and the visitors come from all walks of life. We donated to the Gurdwara foundation and to Michael, the late YB's aide. After leaving his residence, we bought dinner home and spent our evening at home.
Mummy woke up early on Sun to catch the live screening of the late YB Karpar's funeral aired on ubah.tv. Emeryn spent her morning watching her favorite movie. We headed to Por Por's house at about 3pm for our late lunch before going home again. Mummy started to do revision with Emeryn for her school exam preparation.
