funeral
Monday, September 04, 2006, 11:41 PM
to those whom are reading this,
my dearest grandfather has left this world on Sunday,
03 September 2006 at 1715 hours.
Please pray for him.
Thank you.


i was at the funeral on sunday night.
there were dialect-speaking men helping out at the funeral parlour.
i assumed tha they were the men my dad had hired.


my relatives were saying that one them had been on tv before.
and he had a laptop pouch,
which often lead people to think that there is a notebook inside.
but the thing is,
there isn't.
what i saw was
1. humongous calculator
2.piles of paper
3.messy folders with crumpled papers slot within

gosh.he seriously has weak organization skills.


i remembered having the need to follow certain chants when those hired men carried my grandfather's corpse into the coffin.
and they were all in hokkien.
oh.and i saw my cousin tear.
you could have imagined how shocked i was,
because my cousin wasnt one of those who cried easily.

at that point of time,
i really didnt know what to say,
in order to comfort her.


a buddhist priest was also hired.
all of us had to stand for quite a long time and bow at certain verses.
i remembered feeling groggy at certain intervals.
but luckily i wriggled my toes(=
lol.


i stayed up until 2 in the morning.
and the routine carried on till now,
and its gonna continue till thursday.
sigh.
gotta do holidays assignments.
and did i mention that there are alot of assignments given?
gosh.
i've no idea how i'm gonna finish them.
ciao
