My mom was about to undergo major heart surgery. She expected to see no one, except me.

She was lying in bed just outside the operation room, then she saw me.

Realized there's a small but real chance that we're seeing each other for our very last time, she smiled. I smiled.

Instead of waiting for the next 4 to 5 hours, I went outside the hospital.

And the first thing I saw was the unmistakable logo of Ocean Park...

With my family in total collapse mode and my own future in dire shape, I stood outside and didn't go in.

Since then I never come back until now. This time I'm here to purchase my first Ocean Park Annual Pass.

The future remains uncertain, but I'd allow myself to say this now: I'm ready for it.

My mom is expecting me for dinner. I got to go now.
