HoMe-CoMinG

my home-coming wasnt wat i expected....... thought of giving my parents a surprise but turned out d other way round... my uncle aka ta jiu jiu passed away.... i was mad coz my mom didnt inform me earlier, howeva i managed to send him off thurs morning-it was a long hard day....... to b honest, it was my 2nd funeral, d 1st one was my grandpa's way bk in 1999.. i was calm til i get there, flashbacks of my ta jiu jiu (mom's eldest brother) smiling wif his old-fashioned yet adorable glasses, talking to me, giving me ang pow during cny appeared in front of me.... i cant hold my tears.. yes he's old n every human being will leave d world 1 day, maybe my mom's move was right -not to tell me bout it- as i get very upset n distrated wif ppl passing..

after dat, i spent most of my time zzzz -catching all my long lost sleep- hav to admit dat i get tired easily.. a 3 n a half hour journey, catching-up wif yong yong, approx 2km-walked, room-cleaning made me fall flat on my bed..

accompanying my dad to ipoh on d next day to pick my bro up was something i look forward to.. we had a great time counting traffic lights from sitiawan to ipoh... my dad was driving n complaining dat d numbers of traffic light slow him down... indeed n we counted d lights all d way from nan hwa high to ipoh.... there are 21 lights altogether *pengsan*.. i suggested him to write to The Star, gav him d title too "traffic lights build unnecessarily"..

as usual, when in ipoh, it's a must to visit all our 'ka ki lang'... hmmm, my dad respects d elderly very much, oni me complaining-i used to hate visiting my aunties n uncles coz they r old n bored, but i dun feel dat way nemore... i was glad to c them, they hav grown older........ i should visit them more often................

before we get my bro, went for lunch at JJ, n lucky me there was a book fair.... at least my trip to ipoh was not wasted.......... managed to collect all 3 books by albom-thank yong for recommending "tuesdays with morrie": it's inspiring n i hope d other 2 wud b equally great...
