it was my first time to the crematorium. never reallie knew where brighthill was, despite it being so close to where i stay.

it was saddening. the final rituals before we sent the coffin off to the crematorium. the people crying around mi. i din noe how to comfort them. think it was betta to just let them cry it out since itz supposed to be part of the healin process. i din cry. wasn't sure wat people would think if an outsider like mi cried. so i held back the tears n kept the control. thought if i appear strong, den maybe they will and can lean on mi at least for awhile. not sure if people would think i'm hard hearted. but itz all over anyway.

they sae the spirit comes back on the 7th dae after death. i would love to see him and tell him i love and miss him and i hope he's happier than ever before now. i'll love to tell him that he doesn't have anything to worry about, and noe dat he'll be watchin over us always. i wan to greet him for the last time. itz too late now.

it was painful watchin my nanny's son, my big bro, payin his final respects to our grandpa.

he shared a room with grandpa for more than 20 years, for as far back as my memory goes til when he had to go abroad for his work. they've always been close, and they've always doted on each other.

big bro rushed back esp frm Houston to pay his final respects to grandpa. it was a pity dat grandpa can't be present for his weddin dinner anymore, though i'm sure he'll be watchin frm where he is now. 22hrs long flight. n so i specially waited around for big bro's return tonite.

he looked haggard and tense. rigid with control. it was easy to see his struggle to remain composed as he paid his respects in front of the altar. it was immensely painful to watch.

people shldn't have to hold back their tears when they want to cry. n itz a pity others can't shed those tears for them and take away the pain.

more about mi next time. currently will be busy with the funeral of my grandpa. not my blood-related grandpa who passed away when i was in kindergarten.

my grandpa frm my nanny's family who watched mi grow up from since i was 1 month old til Mondae when he passed away.

he was a good man. a kind and loving grandfather. i'll miss him n i hope he's in a betta place now.

sch's been fine. juz haven't mustered up enough willpower to attend mornin lectures after the first lesson. been goin for the noon ones since 3 absents equates to an automatic failure. -_-lll

health's been so-so lately. but then, what's new? threw up in my rm last nite when i was preparin to go to slp. hated it. haven't thrown up in ages n then it sneaks up on u like that. it was pathetic. managed to rush to the rm's dustbin n threw up inside. yucks. was dwellin in self-pity as i cleaned up the rm and everything else by myself after. whole family was alsp n while datz gd, i cldn't help hopin there was someone there to take care of mi n soothe mi, rather than mi havin to get over the sickness asap so i can efficiently clean up.

think it was due to an empty stomach, and the milk and water i drank to attempt fillin it up to make it easier to fall aslp. nw i noe it doesn't work. shall try milo nxt time i'm hungry, though strangely, i din feel hungry anymore after throwin up.

throat hurts nw.. =(

bah.. the 2nd half of the semester have started. =(

tri's back too, which means i'll be extra busy recently. he always have lotsa things to settle when he's newly back in town, n dat implies i get dragged around alot everywhere as company.

picked him up frm the airport on saturdae noon, n spent alot of time puttin some stuff to rights, like gettin his car n stuff. lotsa hassles n time wastage thru travelin frm one end of the island to the other.

we've got lotsa adjustin to do now dat he doesn't have a maid. -_-lll like takin care of chores ourselves (i always get roped in). n i think i finally realised how tough it is living alone without household help.

enuf about him. stomach's been feelin weird lately. like all bloated with air n stuff. sucks.. hope everything straightens out soon.
