Bro said he found a tube of wasabi in a kitchen drawer. It expired in 1994 - 17 long years ago. I couldn’t stop laughing. It’s so ridiculous yet so typical of the Poon’s household.

Then i remembered 1994. Not only Mom would still be around, Grandma would too. In fact it was the year she died, the first death I experienced. Other deaths followed, that of real people I know.

I was suddenly drawn into the family life before and after Grandma’s death. <my minds skipped> Somehow I think the wasabi tube must belong to the days of before…
