a great loss
my grandfather was a great person. he took care of me since young and i remember the days when i was a kid together with my cousins we played at his house. although my gonggong is a man of a few words, he is a great person to talk to (although i have a little difficulty understanding him when he talks to me in teochew. )
i love him alot. and i always hug him when i leave for home during sundays.
i am glad that i had spent time with him on saturdays and during taiwan 2008 trip too.
he will be fondly remembered in me and i am sure in my cousins , parents and uncle and aunties.
my grandfather passed away on 6.6.09 11.45am.
i was not by his death bed, as i was at cheer training. when i saw the msg papa sent i quickly cabbed back to see my gonggong.
well, my grandfather last wish was to have a grand taoist funneral and his sons and daughters decided to accept his request. so the wake lasted for 5days. so i was at amk for the past few days. there were many rituals. i chosed not to take part in some.
this few days were sad. loads of crying. esp the last day when we're at the crematorium. dont want to talk abt it further.
