My Great Grand Father Passed Away

On Thursday, June 14, 2012 at about 5pm, my mother’s cousin called my mother saying that my Appa (my great grand father) is in the hospital.

My great grand father’s name was Mohd. Ya’acob bin Abdullah and his Chinese name was Tung Foo Piew.

He is my mother’s grandfather.

My father planned to go to Kuala Terengganu the next day to visit Appa at the Kuala Terengganu Specialist Hospital (KTS).

But after about half an hour later, my mother’s cousin called my mother again to tell that Appa had just passed away.

I was very sad when I heard the news.

Appa was a very nice man and he was still strong and active despite he was very old.

So we went to Kuala Terengganu that night after Maghrib and we reached Appa’s house at about 1:30am on June 15, 2012.

Appa was buried at the Perkuburan Tok Pelam at about 10am.
