I'm at my grandpa's wake now and nothing to do, so here I am to blog.

This is the last day of the wake and it's only right that i came down. Gonna have a disappearance act to school later this evening. If i had the choice i wouldn't even be going to school, just because the dateline for the Corporate Accounting project is at 7pm tonight, i have got to make my way down as i've the project in hand.

Seriously, i didn't expect my grandpa to jump into his grave before my grandma. Even his neighbours were shocked that he was the one who left first as they thought it was po po. He is probably the only grandpa that i ever had and will ever know.

I remembered for a period of time when i was in pre-school, he would come down from katong all the way to pasir ris everyday just to fetch me from kindergarden. There was probably this once when i crapped in my pants in pre-school and he had to help the teacher to clean me up and rushed me home as i was probably gonna crap in my pants again on the way home. He then dumped me in my mum's bathtub and quickly call my mum to come home as he was at a loss on what to do with me. In that same period of time when he took me for lunch after school, he would ask me teach him some simple english which i'd learnt in pre-school of which 1 word that i still could vividly remember is 'fish'. He would always have a good laugh at himself at his constant mispronunciations.

If i'd just 1 moment left with him i'd probably thank him for being a really good grandpa and he did fulfil his duty as one and apologise that i'd not really done my duty as a granddaughter. As we all grew up, we all grew apart. Sometimes they do wish that we won't have to grow up so fast so they could spend more time with us, sometimes we too wish that they won't grow old and someday leave us.

Too bad death is an inevitable part of life and nobody can escape it. I'm just full of praise to the Lord that both my grandparents accepted Christ just over a year ago. They had only started going to church almost 20 months ago and got baptised just 7 months after. That means and i hope my grandpa will be part of the welcoming party when my time's up on earth.

RIP gong gong. Hope you're enjoying yourself in Heaven. Hope to see you soon :).
