Good bye Po Po

jus came home from wj's grandma's wake.
Po Po passed away this morning in her sleep.
His dad called and broke the news to us in the morning.
We were both super shocked, cos 2 weeks ago we just celebrated her 83th birthday and she was still able to walk around and everything seems fine.
But now, she is gone ...
well ... who could have thought ...

Though we have only met for 6 - 7 times, but i have really grown to like her.
She is always so sweet. Keep asking me to eat more, eat more. Always talking to me (in Cantonese), which i totally dun understand a bit!! When i nod in response, she thought i understood her words, and she will continue to talk even more! Haha

She is such a nice old lady, i really really hope she is in heaven now( with my aunt), and will bless her family, her kids, her grandchildren, who really loves her a lot ...

2 funerals within 1 month ...
life is really short ...
life is really unpredictable ...
who knows what might happen the next day, next hour, next min, next sec ...
lets not waste anymore time k ...
please tell your love ones how much you care for them before time runs out ...

Here goes ... To my family, my boyfriend, my friends ... I love you guys (LOTS) !!! =)

jus now at the funeral, i suddenly realized something. Did you guys ever wonder why Chinese funeral are always held for so many day? like 3, 5 or 7 days? Is it really because of religion and ritual purposes? In remembrance of the deceased? Anyway, whatever the case it is, Im really glad that the Chinese have this culture. Though when a person dies, and the family grieves at the lost of a love one, but on the other hand during the wake, relatives and friends from lala land whom you have never been in contact for ages will definitely suddenly appear! And at the wake, most of the family members will there to help out and through that, there are actually a lot of communication going on, and in turn they might also grow closer. It's somehow like the deceased last attempt to do something for the family - which is to make the family stronger ... Isnt that so?
