Yesterday was the first day of the wake.
Woke up rather early too.

Had a great breakfast with family at a nearby coffeeshop, before we cabbed down in 2 cabs to the place.

Mum spoke a lot of things to me.
She was like saying how peaceful ah gong's death was.
He passed away only after he'd seen ah ma, just like sleeping.

It really touched me.
Their LOVE STORY.

In short : AH GONG passed away really peacefully.
And this is something that we should be relieved of.


There were lots of things to do there.
Learnt quite some things too.
Ah boy kor kor thought me and bee hoon how to fold '元宝(don't know correct not, haha)' using the paper.
Bee hoon aka SIAO ZHA BOR number 2 = Hui Yun
Bee hoon was really funny.
I'd thought I was slow, but she was even slower.

But, for folding the even easier shapes, I took sooo long to understand it.
She at first thought it was tough, in the end, she asked around, and SIAO ZHA BOR number 1 was like laughing so soooo loudly about it!!
SIAO ZHA BOR number 1 = Ah Bee

And of course, I was known as SIAO ZHA BOR number 3 = me.
Haha.

Saw cousins that I haven't seen for a long time, and had small little chats with them.

Came back at around 8+ with my sis, and reached home around 9.15pm?
Wanted to finish all my homework due the next day.
In the end, just by sitting down and doing it, I was like dozing off.

My dad was like chasing me to go to bed.
I was just trying my best to stay awake, but to no avail.
In the end, without finishing my work, I went to bed.

Today, the second day, didn't go to school, for I couldn't get up, and my whole body is aching like don't know what.
And so did my sis!
Only my bro went to school, for he came back super early with dad yesterday.

I saw my grandfather's 'obituary/death notice' at the chinese newspaper - 联合早报 .
At least he 子孙满堂.

FACT OF THE DAY: His 2 daughters - my 阿姨 and my mum, actually both married men of the same surname = 杨!
