Another funeral coming up

Well, it seems that I have to attend another funeral again. The signs are clear.... all the relatives are going back to visit in a rush, grandfather was not talking much when I met him 3 weeks ago. Now, he is hospitalized. Arrangements are being made..

gosh, I hate funerals. Yes I feel sad, but I don let it show. I have to be the one that is calm to be the driver. one good thing is that my grandfather had some good times...

I do not know why, but I suddenly remember what my grandfather told me few years back. He said:' If you have time, come back more often to see me, chit chat with me, eat roti canai with me. If you are busy with studies then nvm.' He was never demanding unlike those old folks we see in drama series. He is an understanding and independent person, which is a relieve to the relatives.
After that, I will go back to visit him with father whenever possible.

Sigh.. time pass very fast. I can still remember him working in a very crowded restaurant. Taking down orders of customers. The restaurant is not near.. he will take a bus himself or hitch a ride. He was the popular person there, customers look for him when they go there.

Then.. He had to sit down with customers to take orders. It appears that he is being friendly with customers, but the truth is he gets tire easily.

then.. he quited his job and stayed at home..till now..

Just a few days ago, he was happily playing candles with the 2 youngest grandchildren. Now, he is lying in hospital bed.. hahaha.. life is full of twist... life... sigh...
