absence

I was away over the weekend.
Missed lots of activities. GL outing. Disney outing.
Just wanna say a big sorry.

Actually the reason for my absence was the fact that my grammy in Malaysia passed away.
It was quite saddening as she was a sweet old woman who always smiled when we visited her.
She suffered from dementia for the past few years, thus repeating answers to her questions was a norm. but everyone still did it patiently.
I could see everyone in my family loved her. especially my dad, a man of steel, who teared during her funeral.
The whole wake was a 5 day affair and it was tiring. I had to stay up for 3 nights consecutively doing what the old people call "shou ye" which means guarding the night.
Since my grammy's coffin was placed in the living room of my grandpa house. So the grandchildren had to stay up the whole night to ensure nobody steals from the house as the door couldn't be locked.
Things will not be the same without her. i will miss calling "ah ma" whenever i go back to penang.
May her soul rest in peace.
