Grandma's Wake...

Everything juz ended 2++ hrs ago...

Monday work like hell to Tuesday morning...
Sleep like PIG till late evening... Den get to the "Tenant" place to pay my respect...
My clothings is different from other Grandchildren... I am "Zhang Sun", meaning i got something brown color ones on top of my blue clothings...
Whenever plp came to my Grandma's front to offer respect, either one from my huge family, hve to knee down there, bow ur heads low, to show ur appreciation to them...
Tuesday is okie for mi... Juz tat i can't stay there for long... Coz i'm working on Wednesday...

Some asked mi, why not i take leave from company during tis week. They said tis is a kind of entitlement... Errr... I do noe abt tis sort of things... But my department, two guys juz took one week leave to return back to Malaysia, to return back to their home. Thus, tis resulted my department to be seriously lack of man-power. I dun feel good, if i oso "absent" at tis period of time, to sabo the remaining three colleagues.

On Wednesday, I work the morning shift. I can't work at nitz on tis day, becoz, the funeral ceremony, led by the monks, will start during evening time, and i, as the "Zhang Sun", muz be present at tat time. Thus, i reali can't work nitz on tat day.
Puar messaged mi, asking mi where is the "wake" place... Quite shock to see tis sms... Coz i hve no idea anyone is coming down... Call back to Puar, n he says Edwin, Hongcheng n some plp r coming down today... I am like so blur... Dunno or not even aware tat they r coming down... Haha...

Left the company 40 minutes earlier... Reach back to the "wake" place at ard 6++pm... Hve a quick bite, den the ceremony is abt to start.

As compared wif the ceremony i attended for my Great Grandpa's 12 years ago... Tis ceremony, seems like, didn't knee down veri offen... Before the ceremony, i keep on hving the impression tat i will be kneeing for long hours the whole nitz... It is not a veri hectic ceremony for ones... but for any of my huge family members... who onli sleep for few hours in the past few days... They r veri tired...

HongCheng, Anthony, Kong Seng, Edwin, Puar, Yihao & YongMing came down to pay respect to my Grandma on tis day(Wednesday)... Veri thx for coming... And thx for ur "White Silver", which included Kit, Weijie, WeiCheng, ZhiWei & the 7 of them. I may be too tired liao, staying for long hours there... Tat y i keep dragging my younger cousin(Gal) to introduce to them. Haha... All except my "ugly" sister. Haha... They went to town area for coffee after tat. Feel like going... but i'm can't. I muz stay there the whole nitz to "Shou Ling".

I actually fell asleep from 2++am to 6++am without my realisation. My younger cousins(Playful kids) kept on dragging mi to play Marjong wif them... Teaching them how to play Marjong...

Today(Thursday) is the "wake" day... Many cried... I hve used my 180% effort not to cry. Water can be seen in my eyes... But i tried veri hard not to make it roll down. A lot of walking ard the coffin, kneeing, is done be4 we proceed ur "walk" to the main road. And when we hit the main road, den they load the coffin into the van, n off we go to Sin Ming Ave...

I remember Great-Grandpa's is bury... But Grandma is burning into ashes... A LOT ~~ cried when they see the coffin was pushed into the fire for burning... Tis is reali the last time tat we can cry for Grandma liao... I hve made a promise wif Grandma in my heart in every pray... And i will keep my promise.

After blah blah blah... we finally reached back house... May seen like few paragraphs to u... But a lot of after work is done in between. We, as the host, hve a lot of things to do, to clear after everyone has left. Tmr, i'm going back to the temple to pick back the remains of my Grandma...

Okie... mi is veri tired now liao... I shall mark my exit here...
