Hey.
First of all, Happy Belated Birthday Mum.
Sorry, I've gt no presents.
But I'll probably treat you to something good kae.

Alright.
These last few days have been sad and tiring I must say.
It all started on Saturday.

On Friday afternoon, went to Aloha Loyang fr a bbq.
The place reminded me of our previous class outing.
Aww, I miss my class.
Ok, then decided to spend the night there.
So told Dad a white lie. Lol.
A kinda stupid lie. But after screaming into the phone, he allowed me anyway.
Haha.
Was really happy to be allowed to overnight.

So, spent the night idling, psp-ing, stargazing and chatting away.
Fell asleep while chatting. Wasnt really sleeping actually.
Just a nap.
After less than 2 hours, I was awakened by the cold.
The wee hours are just freaking cold.
Alright, then washed up before catching the first shuttle bus out.
Planned to have breakfast at BK, but as soon as I reached White Sands Shpg Ctr, got a call from sis.

She told me that Mum's uncle have passed away.
Kinda shocking cause days ago we heard that he was recovering at the hospital.
So, plans changed.

As soon as I reached home, I dived on my bed and took another nap.
By 2pm, I was already preparing to go.
Got a call from Mum saying that my great-grandad just passed away too.
It was shocking.
And devastating too.
Two deaths on the same day.
Besides that, they were from the same family.
My great-grandad was the father-in-law of Mum's uncle.

So, arrived at the first house and after everything's done and after the burial, we made our way to the second house.
Fr the second one, the burial had to be done on the next day fr some reasons.
So, last Monday felt like a Sunday since everyone took a day off work.
The burial was done in the morning and in the evening had some prayer sessions.

Everything sounded simple and short here but the reality is,
it's not.

When I got the call from sis, I kinda felt guilty fr staying overnight.
But the guilt won't change anything.


This was an eye-opener.
A real eye-opener.

I saw how fragile a life is,
How precious a life is,
How small we are,
How inevitable and unexpected death was.

And most importantly, I realize that
Everyone is somebody's loved one.
Even though they are bad, ugly, or whatever,
after all, they are still someone's loved one.
That's an undeniable fact.

So I will treasure and appreciate my loved ones even more now
because they say that we only appreciate a person when they're gone and that's
already too late.
Like the Late King of Pop.


It's true, isn't it?
