gosh.i'm so tired.
really.

attended the monopoly challenge yesterday.
it was really fun.
though i wasted quite a few dollars on the bus fare.
but overall, it was a nice challenge set up for us.

received devastating news yesterday
totally shocking.
but i think i handled the matter pretty well.

i remembered a line from a book and i followed it very closely.
i confessed everything to God.
i held nothing back.
and indeed, i felt that my shoulders were very much lighter.

anyway, i still have some weekend assignments yet to be done.
the EOYs are arriving,
and they're coming quick.
gosh.
i really need to start mugging already.

chrysathemum tea is nice.
refreshing actually.

went to the temple again on saturday.
its actually the first week of grandpapa's death.
it was even more solemn than usual.
and frankly, i was a little affected by it.
but thankfully no one cried.

** hadn't join us for recess today.
well, i'd suppose she has her own freedom.
but after school was a complete different matter.
somehow, i felt that she had totally ignored me.
like,disregarding my presence entirely.
infuriating.

perhaps i'm just overly sensitive.
well, i've always been.
and it can be a rather big disadvantage at times.

anyway, i've gotta get that out of my mind.
it shouldn't and musn't bother me.
the eoys are really close.
cannot afford to distract myself.
have to keep mugging!

haha.

funeral-over

Thursday, September 07, 2006, 10:48 PM

okay.gotta update briefly.
we collected the ashes of my cremated grandfather at the crematorium.
thankfully, no one cried.

boarded a mini-van and headed for the temple.
the shifu was already present at the temple when we'd reached there.
he did the usuals and we could safely put the urn in one of the holes in the marble walls.
i'm not sure if it's called a hole, but its like a marble locker, but without the locks.

after praying, everyone headed home,
except for us.
we headed to the enquiry office and my parent make amendments to the tablet with the personnel-in-charge.
the air-conditioning was so cold.

anyway,
gonna start chiong-ing with my homework already.
i'm only left with a day,
cause i'm leaving sunday free tos tudy for the chem test on monday.

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
