hello everybody. i am back from an extremely
looong day. din go to work today since im seeing my aunt off
lunched with dad and he drove me down to ghim moh to the funeral wake, everyone was surprising chirpy and happy despite not having sufficient slp and it being a funeral wake. but i was so wrong, for things turned pretty disasterous afterwards
i made a new cousin. a girl whos the same age as me, and in NP's FSV. well im not particularly close with this side of the family thus ive nvr seen her for the past 18 years
then when the pastor came in a suit and sunglasses, everyone started to cry, since their sister's physical body would be gone forever. anyway, alot of ppl started crying, but not exactly pandemonium yet. got this aunt whom i dunno, she say smth to console them, but i think damn fucked up. as the people from singapore casket carried the casket into the van, everyone was crying and that aunt was saying
"This is only the beginning. If you wanna cry now, then don't think about going."well if u think about it, its some kind of consolation, but the way she said it sounded like a bitch.
"This is only the beginning you know!~"we took a chartered bus down to
Mandai Crematorium and i can tell you, people would appreciate the achitecture more if they werent so bloody depressed over the deceased. the place was amazing, extremely beautiful and peaceful. there was a hall where the loved ones of the deceased gather while the pastor said goodbye. and the place was very nice. they even had sparrows in it, live ones flying around and it felt like something you see in movies or books.
the toilet was amazing. there's a glass panel which is tinted and whcih makes you want to see through it from the outside. and outside the toilet, there's this pond with flowing water. very nice can?
anyway, the trouble starts here when we placed flowers ontop of the casket and said goodbyes. and then they put on the lid to cover the viewing panel for the face. this caused an uproar and all the sisters started to cry, thankfully my mum wasnt one of them.
she's strong.then the people brought the casket out of the hall and into the prep room to cremate. then we were supposed to proceed to the viewing room, where everyone started to wail. i mean the situation got kind of emotional, i din shed a tear cuz i din really know my aunt well, but it was sad to know such a nice and generous person died due to sickness. she passed away even before her mother did, and for that, i think is worth to be sad for.
then the casket was in position to be ready for cremation and everyone really broke down. people started fainting and everyone had medicated oil in the hands rubbing it on the fainted or the fainting. well, the cremation was different from the last time i rmbed, which was when i was barely in primary school. this one, they had this machine which followed a track on the ground, and it reached the 'furnace'. then it slowly elevated with the casket, den the furnace door would open and the casket is pushed in. den, thats all
everyone was brought out of the viewing room to get some fresh air. everyone was still crying and after sometime, sat on the bus back to ghim moh to wash up and have dinner
now at only 8pm im so worn out and shagged even though i din do my bit of crying. my mum's collapsed on the bed right now, since she din slp much last night whilst attending to the casket.
tmr's my "last day of work" technically speaking. depends on whether they still need me to clear up their shit. ok im off to go lepak and relac one corner.
