Goodbye Mak Ngah ~ Rest In Peace

I found out from my mom that my Aunt, on my late father side, had passed away. She was diagnosed with cancer a while back and been in and out of the hospital undergoing treatment. She was laid to rest yesterday evening.

Rest in Peace Mak Ngah.. We love you and you will be missed.

 

Al Fatihah…

Rest in Peace Ami

Death is an eventual thing in life. It’s not an “IF” but a “WHEN” and a “HOW”. Whether you passed on peacefully from old age or from cancer or a Mesothelioma diagnosis, it’s all part of life… but yet it hurts. It hurts so bad that sometimes you feel you want to die too.

I mentioned in my twitter message a few weeks back that there was yet another death in the family. Azwaj’s uncle who is living in the States had passed away.

Ami, as we affectionately calls him, was late Mama’s younger brother. He just passed away suddenly last month. We don’t know the details of his death; in fact no one really knew that he was sick. Azwaj’s aunt, Aunt Lynn, was too distraught to give details on the phone when she called to inform the family.

Then yesterday, we got another news. It seems Aunty Lynn’s father passed away! When I heard the news, I couldn’t help but break down. I mean I don’t know the deceased but I know Aunty Lynn and to have both men in your life just leave suddenly like that. I cannot imagine the grief she is going through right now and when I put myself in her shoes.. oh dear God, I just broke down.

We know that they are in a better place. The good ones always die young they say, and so we take consolation in that. We move on and pray that we, the living, can continue living without them. Remembrance keeps them near….

Al-fatihah..

My Niece's Wedding

One of the other reason why I returned to SG last week was to attend my niece’s wedding. I tutored her when she was like 8 years old and here she is, all grown up. A pretty young lady with her knight in shiny armor.

For my cousin, this is the first wedding for her family and because it is also the first grand-daughter’s wedding for my aunt, you can imagine the grandness of the whole event. She had over 2000 guests on that day.

It was so much fun for me too as I was able to meet up with aunts, cousins, and all other kinds of relatives that I have not met up for so long. And my cousins who I used to carry when they were small, all had kids of their own! I’m getting so old eh, as old as that old dell memory stick that I had in my old laptop!

Anyway… I’m glad that I was able to kill three birds with one stone on this trip back, so to speak, sent mommy to the clinic, attend this momentous wedding and get me Miss Velvet Blue…hehehe

Cheerio…
