After all the fiasco and shock has worn off. I had to do what I normally do. Go ahead and help out with the funeral arrangements.
At least this round the burden was shared by popo’s daughters as opposed to only me and mom for my brother’s funeral.
First stop was the doctor’s to get him to come round to the house to certify the death. Next, came the police station to report the death. Finally was the temple to arrange the monks to come for prayers.
The irony was the same day popo passed away happened to be the 100th day passing of Brickfield’s Reverend Sri Dhamanada (gosh I hope I got the spelling right 
) so the monk could only come the next day.
By the time we got back the canopy was already laid out and they’ve already prepped popo to be laid into the coffin… 
Thankfully this round there’s someone from the parlour taking care of the night shift so it’s not so tiring for me (it’s by default I’ll take the graveyard shift as I’m the youngest and able to refrain from sleep compared to my elders).
A lot of people came to the service but mostly consisted of family and close friends. The rest (and bulk) of it were Aunt Mary’s business partners.
By the second day, the wreaths were really taking so much space in our already confined driveway but I’ve never seen so much roses in my life.
Cousin Andrew wanted to fly back from UK to attend the service but we told him not to worry and just complete his studies and come back in Feb instead. So he sent a wreath instead (it’s the thought that counts).
Complicated wasn’t even bothered to send one or make it to the service. I don’t know whether the thought crossed his mind to send one over instead as he couldn’t make it as he was in the midst of a launch for a new model.
Whatever la. Later.
Hey there, dear! Just a bit confused. This is a new blog template you are using? And the last couple of posts are password-protected now. Are you gonna make this a private blog, then?
Just curious. Also, have a great Wednesday tomorrow!
yea dis is a new template but same ole blog. i prefered the old templete cos it’s in pink but the layout is too small… so i changed to this one instead (until i can figure out how to make my own pinkie site). the picture of the sea n sand is my own tho. took it in pulau besar, JB.
yea, this post is mostly a private blog (cos i dunno how to upload pics properly over here) and anyway i’ll still link all new post from here to my blogspot. wat to do? i only found out abt wordpress only after i started blogspot, by den i had too many entried there already and jz to lazy to move everything over here
