a long week ...

Finally got down to blog, after a pretty tiring week. My god grandmother passed away last Friday, and i went to the wake everyday except Monday. Met up with my god brothers and sister, not to mention the aunts and uncles whom i seldom meet since we shifted out of Bedok North. Was closer to my god mother and the 2 younger brothers and can still remember my god grandmother pretty well.

She passed away at a ripe old age of 81. =) Overheard my mom chatting with her sis on the fact that i wasnt able to attend my own grandparents' funerals (I was only 3 when my grandfather passed on - too young to know anything, one can only join in if above age of 4 and i was undergoing chemotherapy during my grandmother's funeral 2 years back, so couldn't attend too) but was able to attend both my god grandparents' funerals. i guess this is fate ba. Now thinking that my grandmother's funeral would had been a very grand affair, as she has over seventy direct next of kin. Missed my grandmother quite a bit, i guess that's why i took to wear her ring. She left 2 rings actually, one for each daughter-in-law, and my mom randomly picked and obtained the gold ring while the diamond ring went to my aunt. I guess i could call it luck, cos i dont mind wearing the gold ring but definately NOT the diamond ring cos its obviously for ladies.

i guess family affairs are starting to take centre stage in my life, although i have spent more time with family and friends, it never seems enough. Coupled with the fact that everyone have their own work and play to balance with, its harder to meet up nowadays. my holiday over the past 4 years is almost over liao.... hiaz... time to relearn how to balance work and play pretty soon. Lucky for the 4 month extension of holiday due to the solar car, but i guess i will be pretty broke by then. =P
