came back from singapore casket about 30 mins ago... popo's wake is there... will be till tues.. am going back there after tuition... i have maths tuition from 3pm to 5pm... yesterday at about 11am mummy and daddy came back with uncle... got ready, then went with them to singapore casket at lavender... had the funeral opening there... we were kneeling and everything.. then aunty iye wah began to cry, then all of us also began to cry... couldnt help it... could hardly see through the river of tears as the pall-bearers brought in the coffin, the last C that everybody had to go through, at some time or other.... then we did the praying and stuff... spent the day there... in the evening, we went back home to bathe and change, collect our toothbrushes and extra clothes, then went back to popo's wake... she used to come to our place every saturday.... actually, we were supposed to go to a wedding yesterday evening with popo, but in the end in turned out to be a funeral... gonna spend the next few days with her... the last few days before she gets cremated.... i nvr imagined her in a coffin... but i suppose it's inevitable. sooner or later everybody has to go through it... sometimes i wish i were a Vulcan... in the evening, mummy got popo's diary/planner... saw her notes and stuff... all the things that she had planned and had gone through for the year 2006... in the night, my family stayed over at the wake... put together some chairs and stuff... kept up chatting with Heidi till about 11.15pm... very grateful to her for comforting and helping me... went to sleep after that... woke up this morning at 5am, couldnt sleep after that... finally dozed off at 5.40am... woke up again at 7am, then brushed teeth and stuff... mummy went out to buy breakfast and papers... saw popo's orbituary in the Straits Times... then mummy and chacha went back home to bathe and change... uncle came with kongkong and they alos brought breakfast... porridge and popiah... ate again, then when mummy came back, helped to bring up all the stuff, the boxes and paper money and house and car even... haha... following popo's religion of taoism i think... really miss her... but i suppose it's like what Heidi said... popo is in a place where God can take care of her and that she wouldnt want to see us so sad... and that she'll look over us and take care of us...x It´s been a long time,
but my time is finally near
