My maternal grandmother (mother's mother) passed away this morning. I got a call from my dad at 1500hrs plus. I rejected the call expecting the worst. Alas! BINGO! I hit the jackpot. The funeral arrangements were in place at the neighbouring HDB void deck of my grandmother's block as there was already a funeral in her void deck.

Being a christian, I do not condone the Buddhist style of rites. Nonetheless, I followed the rites as a mark of respect. Well, my grandmother was taoist rather than buddhist. I had to hold one joss stick there like a statue while the monk was uttering some gibberish chants. Not that I understood anyway. I blew at the joss sticks till my joss stick was 1/2 the size of my parents' XD. In the end, when I gave my joss stick to the funeral 'manager', he gave me the (-_-") look as he planted the joss stick in the ash pool, taking large amounts of effort trying to push my parents joss sticks lower, and not implant mine so low, such that they looked about the same height. Not that he was successful anyway. I don't intend to breed discord, but Buddhism is not my cup of tea.

Throughout the whole time, everyone else wept at least once. All my relatives who were there. Even my sis cried. For some reason, I felt a slight tinge of sadness but I felt no urge to cry at all. It was the similar feeling of despair when I got back my C6 HCL paper last prelim anyway. Call me heartless. Maybe something is wrong with me. I was actually quite close to my grandmother, as she took care of me since young. My parents used to leave me there when they worked. It's just strange that I didnt really feel that sad. Maybe something is wrong with me.

My grandmother was battered down by the 4th stage of lung cancer, which spread to many other parts of the body. In the final days of her life, she was at Tan Tock Seng hospital battling pneumonia. Her lung capacity was like 20% and she was breathing in 100% oxygen (though its harmful) Well she was given morphine before she eventually passed away.

I would like to thank the people who have been praying for her. Thanks millions!
