many things happened over the past 5 days. and i think it's probably time to explain for my disappearance. =)

thursday
i woke up at 7, upon receiving the bad news of the death of my amazing Uncle Roland. Lord took him away, from my aunt, making sure that he returns to when he belongs. of course, i went back to sleep, cause i slept at 1 the night before.

then i slack for quite a long while, then i prepared and left house. i reached TM about 4 plus. and went around shopping. i felt rich! hahas. so i spent 20 bucks on this book, at Lifebook shop, Hope for Each Day. i wanted to buy Footprints for Teens, but it cost like 30 bucks. so i gave it a miss. i'm still longing for someone to buy me the precious thoughts Bible. hahas. oh well. then i met buddy. and went to meet puay, jian yao and norwin at about 5.45. met fish, sotong, san and jolin. they left about 6.30. and i left about 6.45.

went home, had dinner and left house about 9. my cousin send us there to attend the wake. we paid him our respect. like i said, it was the first time i saw mum crying. i tried to console her, but tears just came rolling down my cheeks too. i felt a pair of arms around me. but i didn't know where that feeling came from. oh well. me and sis was given an important job to do. that was the collect the donations and record them. this went on till about 12 plus. and finally went home nearly 1. -.-"

friday
Good friday. =) i was home the entire day. and only left house about 5. went to the wake again. and did my job. there was service at 8. many people came flooding in. i listened to the service. and heard many things about what people have to say about my uncle. then the Father did his job. he read the service booklet. this went on till about 9.30. then came many people who starts giving donations. sis lend me a helping hand. and i manage to get things right. *phew* hahas. reached home about 1 again. ><

saturday
dad had to work, so there isn't any transport other than taxi. lols. right. took cab to the wake. did the same job. and i kept watching the slideshow on pictures of my uncle. it's pretty hard to believe why he is lying there. i miss his laughter. i miss him calling me "xiao mei mei". i miss him talking about lifestyle. yet. when he was alive, i've never cherish those moments at all. =(

sunday
reached the wake at about 5.30. did the same old thing. during the service, i listened to what my aunt had to say. seriously, i guess without the love and care and help that Lord gave her, she won't be strong. and without those, my uncle would have been long gone from this earth. Aunt loves uncle a lot, so much that she would do anything for him. =) went home early this day.

monday, today
i skipped my orientation to attend the last day of the funeral. hahas. anyway, went to see doctor in the morning cause i was having sore throat. mum called up the clinic to see if i can see the doctor first. of course, the nurse gave in to my mum. and announced to the entire clinic that i had to attend a funeral. and she scolded me cause my mum scolded her. -.-" i was so angry, i didn't even heard what the doctor said to me. bloody pissed off!
reached home, changed and left. went there to help around. and left for Mandai at 2.45. when we reached the cremation area, uncle roland's sister said her speech. of course, it was only then when i learnt many things.

Uncle Roland cherished bonding and the relationship between his family. and he thought me to cherish whoever came into my life. he spreads around the love the Lord Jesus Christ gave to us and the greatness of Him. he once said, "we have given other gods a chance, it's time we should give Jesus Christ a chance. it's time we should find out more about Him and know who He is.".

upon holding the flower and putting it on the coffin, tears gathered in my eyes. uncle roland's love for his love ones was so strong. and so was Jesus's love for those who have faith in him. i shaked my cousin-in-law's hand, my cousin kelly, my aunt, and my cousin barry's hand. tears just came rolling down. there was no way to stop it. we went to the viewing room. everyone was crying. and my aunt was so devastated.

i started thinking. what are the tears i shed after each break up compared to the tears she shed for her husband. the guy who spent half a life time with her. the guy who protect her, the guy who loved her, and the guy who cherished her.

after all these, we went back to aunt's place and had a thank you dinner.

uncle roland taught me a beautiful lesson. thank you. ^{i'll miss you always. but i know you'll always be around me.}=)

done blogging.

-i wanna cherish everything.-
