so much to say, so lil time. lets go back to abt a week ago. i went back to alor star (somewhere near penang, in case u dunno) to attend grandpa's funeral. was veri sad. de moment i saw him in de coffin, i cried. jus cldnt contain those tears. i guess tho i wasnt close wif him since young, i still love him. or isit jus pity i feel for him? i duno. sumbody tell me pls. but i m feelin better now. goin back to sch tmr... finally... after skippin sch since last weds. so... it's abt a week of sch. got alot to catch up on la. while i was dere, actually, it didnt reali feel like a funeral. more of a family gathering. and even during all those prayers and chanting of sutras (which i dont understand a single bit... to top it of, it was in dialects.), we were laughing... while holding the joss sticks... i was tinking to myself, wat was de point of going thru it when only a few's serious abt it. but no choice, i guess it's just de tradition. n we had to walk around de coffin so many times til my legs and back ached. the worst was we were not supposed to wash our hair till de seventh day, which was sunday nite... de superstition is that it will rain, n not many ppl will go for de funeral which is nt good. bcos it's spposed to be lively. but i didnt care, i washed. imagine if i cldn't, i'll just die of dirtyness icky pukey feeling. eeyerness. and grandpa was supposed to come back on de sixth dae or sth... n i was scared... n de stories even freaked me out even more la. all those things about footprints on de floor. rice bin being meddled with... n so on. sumtimes it seems ridiculous. but tt nite, i felt sumone tugging de edge of my blanket. n oh shit. i was damn scared la. summore doreen was slpin bside me. like a pig. haha. mebe i was jus hallucinating. but i jus din dare open my eyes, afraid tt i wld c sth. i noe he's grandpa... but IF i reali did see him, i'll pee in my pants. i mean.. he's dead.. it's scary.
dere was one nite, drank too much kopi-o until i cldnt slp. den went out wif dad, doreen, elaine, robin, chloe n lik hao to eat n yum char (teh tarik. made me even more awake.) at 1am in de morn. den went back at 2am. but apparently, still couldnt slp... so me elaine n robin stayed up. to talk. n try to do wrk. but i din get much done. seriously. den elaine went off to slp at 5am plus in de morn. so it was me n robin. haha. tt cousin of mine. we talked til 6.45am.. i tink. nearly 7. de sun was gonna rise. haha. dunno wat we talked abt. but he taught me many stuffs wif my laptop. many things i didnt know. thx yah. and he taught me photoshop! at least i understand a lil more nw. and i learnt to distort pictures. so i distorted one picture frm 206 bbq last mth. de one wif weiheng n ruilin acting gerlie. i jus sent it to ruilin. haha. he was like "how can u distort my pic?" haha. eh robin... go learn more adobe n teach me yah. u r a computer freak. cant take it. haha. =)
so many family politics n stories i heard whn i was back in alor star. so gossipy la. n de elders told us many stories of gramps when he was young. abt him n grandma (she passed awae 2 mths after i was born. so i nv did c her.) i tink my grandparents r reali sweet.... they're prolly de only few couples who married one another altho there was objections frm my great grandma. they were nt matchmaked! n grandpa wrote so many poems abt grandma. the poems were in chinese. but they translated it for me. reali admire gramps. cos he went to primary sch oni. but his chinese is so cheem. reali a smart man. but he's gone. i'm sad i didn't spend more time with him. as they say, "u never know what u had till it's gone" cliched. but true.
oh well... i better get back to do my radio script nw.. last minute wrk. sum stuff to add. and den print it.. eve's meeting me at 9am to study tmr. so thankful i dun hafta print notes. eve's gonna lemme photocopy hers. thanks eve. luv ya! n we r doin project at 11am tmr. web graphics. ugh. hate it. n i gt loads of catchin up to do in sch. help me peeps. =)
