... that my grandmother on my moms' side past away. Got the news in the early morning, well, my dad did, i only knew bout it when i woke up at around 11. She was 89. Guess it did not come as a shock to us cos she has been in ICU for at least 10 days with cancer and the doctors sayin everything now is 50-50. While no doubt all of us are sad that she is no longer with us, but i suppose we should also be happy that she led a happy life and manage to achieve almost everything in life a woman of her age n generation could possibly achieve. Successful children, even more successful grandchildren and even great grand kids. We all loved her even though many of us weren't that close to her (myself in particular). She has been overseas to england as well as Australia and countless trips to China. And oh, did i mention she is a mother to 15 children? And the best part was, she could recognize and remember each n everyone of her grandchildren and great grandchildren!!
Don't think she has any regrets in life. She was always happy, and always active and always going visiting her kids every now n then. Don't remember her having any health complications before. And i certainly doubt that she would want us to be sad or depressed at this time. One good thing is at the time of her passing, most of her children are either in malacca or Kl and the ones from overseas have already flown down. And most of my cousins are also back on holidays. So i guess she chose a good time to leave. With everyone by her side. Guess its a way for her to say "keep the family bond strong". Cos when it all boils down, its family tat will always be there for each other.
I don't know how much a part i'll be involved with the funeral ceremonies as this time round , i'm part of the in-laws. The past 2 funerals i've been to are both from my dads side so can say i was quite bz then. But i suppose i won't be free for the next few days, 3-5 in fact. So sorry la dudes, if got any plans during this time , i don't think i can make it. Gotta respect. As for now, i'm still waiting for the news from the people in kl to see wat plans or preparations will have to be made.
So i guess that pretty much sums up 2006 for me la. More downs then ups this time round. Although i'll touch more bout that when i review my year.
Hmmm.. other than that, nothin much goin on.. malacca is partially flooded but due to that, alot of roads have been closed so its pretty hard to get around town or even out of my taman during the day and early night. Oh, also wanna say thanks Kat for ur gift! really like it! Yet to use it though! hehe..
Well, hope that in 2007 there will be a change in tide. That remains to be seen. Again, Merry Christmas 2 everyone!! And Happy Holidays!!
