A sad occasion
Early morning, the phone rang. Recently, a phone ring means that it's going to be bad news. My grandfather has been hospitalised just before CNY. His cancer cells has spread to his whole body and doctor said it's only a matter of time now.
So, yesterday, almost all of us went to see him at the hospital and this morning, he left for the other world.
Arranging funeral at the start of the new year is what everyone hope to avoid, but things still happened and things still need to be done. We went down to our oldest uncle's place and waited for my grandfather's body to arrive. The body arrived and then we waited for the coffin to arrive. Everyone paid our last respect to Ah gong and the coffin was sealed.
Some of us cried, some didnt. I guess it's really how close you are to a person which moved you to tears. Life is really so fragile, we come with nothing and we leave with nothing.

Happy Lunar New Year!!!
Happy Lunar New Year to all the Chinese out there. Missed my CNY last year and how time flies, it's CNY again. Somehow this year, I'm actually very looking fw to CNY. It used to be that, CNY is just a routine, but now I'm actually looking at it with a whole new light :)
Anyway, we had steamboat, as usual and now it's about 7 mins more to 初一. 新年快乐 everyone. I hope everyone will have a good year ahead, good fortune, good career, good life, heehee..
BTW, just an update about myself. My time is almost packed with piano, which is good, becos that means more income. Right now, I'm very happy with what I'm doing. Teaching piano and at the same time, helping a friend with her biz...Anyone interested can take a look at www.lingglass.etsy.com.
She is a jewellery designer and has been doing this for 10 over years. Thus explaining her workmanship :) Well, come to think of it, I've been working for her almost 8 years now, minus the time I was in UK and US. So this is my side line...hehee...and I'm enjoying it.
And also, I'm going to serve in the children's church in my church (New Creation Church). For those who are not sure what a children church is, let me explain. Children church is like sunday school, a place for the kids to learn about God when their parents are attending the "adults'" church. So basically I'll be helping the teacher and do whatever he/she needs me to. I think it's going to be fun.
