These few days have been very busy. One of my aunts just passed away last Saturday. Immediately, she was sent to Nirvana Memorial Center. Without hesitation, almost all relatives took leave, coming down all the way to JB to send her off for the last time. Everything was settled very fast in the sense she passed away on this Sat's morning, open for condolence on Sunday, then was cremated on Monday.
Nowadays funeral ceremony was so much easier. The center will basically cover everything for you, and all you need to do is pay and be present. My aunt has already purchased her memorial tablet last year, which is a memorial package for herself and also her son. This is why everything could be so simple and efficient.
The timing of sister coming back from Taiwan was really just nice, Sunday's night. Only mummy and I drove to Singapore to pick her up this time round. Daddy stayed in Malaysia to handle all the funeral things. And this Sunday happened to be my another aunt's birthday! She is the closest relative to us, where I will never be afraid to talk anything with her. Her birthday is so easy to remember that, you wont forget once she tell you. 19/1, and you inverse it, 911. So after staying at home whole day to clean the house, we rushed out to buy her a Cappuccino cake in JB and went to Singapore.
Luckily there was no jam and we had a sweet dinner with my uncle's whole family :) Perhaps it is because all of my cousins have grown up, they start to be more mature and caring about the surrounding issues. After picking up my sista, all of us talked discussed like never before. It has been so long, since we last gathered and really sat down to talk. Talk about life. about politics, everything. My aunt was very surprised and said that I was really sweet & thoughtful ;) And we ended the gathering with chocolate and pineapple tarts bought from Taiwan given to my aunt. Hope she really had a blast :))
And after coming back to Malaysia, we still rushed to the memorial center, so that sista got to give her last condolence to my aunt. Some relatives also came to our house to stay for one or two days. Therefore, that night I ended up sleeping on the floor, with a map and sofa cushions being my one-night-bed at nearly 2am.
Throughout these days, I talked to a lot of people. Realization really really dawned on me that, life is this fragile, isn't it? I didnt even get to visit my aunt for the very last time although I am in JB. Everyone didnt expect this fast, and we always say, "Next time bah". Well, so there is no more next time. This is also part of reason no matter what, I must always come back to home. No matter how many times I need to travel up and down, I must always come back. Plus the days that I get to see my parents, is not often.
Sometimes, I do worry about my dad. He never wants to do medical check-up for so many years. Smoke, drink, work. Rest very little, portion of food that he eats is getting lesser and lesser. But, he is as stubborn as a stone. We cant force him to change unless he himself wants it.
About my sister, she is finally back from Taiwan! All we do when 2 of us are together is quarrel and argue. Laugh out loud! But no choices, sometimes we really hate each other! And the current issue between us is who does the household. Who cooks and who cleans. Kinda lame I know, but ya, that is us, haha. :')
And for today Tuesday, I had an interview with Vietnam. Hopefully the answer would be a positive one as this interview took both parties like more than 1 and a half hour, which is really long (longer than me Skyping with my overseas' friends, zzz). This period, I kinda get a lot of rejections, from different people. But well, success and fruits only come after tons of sweat and failures, isn't it. I must always be humble. Humble, HUMBLE! Down to Earth! I am not really polite towards my sista O_O
Last but not least, I really want to be the King of the Music (Jay Chou said this before). Why did I give up in the first place? Isn't it music wonderful? Just really afriad, one day. One day, my fingers, can't fly anymore. And I, would be none other than nobody. Someone, that is less than her own name.
