your mother's blog.: mummy's funeral.

there's nothing very extreme and scary here. i'm not going to post any ~scary~ photos.

finally after a whole miserable 8 hours of waiting in batam, we're all back to jb, going back home. i've never felt so happy and relief to be back in malaysia.

day 1

day 2

where my girls and xiao le came over. xiao le giving me a surprise when i was about to reach the custom, they told me he was coming. very happy

some of the youths came earlier in the afternoon. all the lovely people in the same table. don't know what they looking at la

saw this on oil farm's phone as her wallpaper. very happy my bff is so sweet. feel like squeezing her fats!

~speech~.....

the lil cousins with da gu gu

smelly and i with mummy

even uncles also took turns to take a last photo with mummy.

i took a few pictures with mummy and i but i don't think i will post the pictures up here because its not meant to.

i don't think this is any kind of superstitious or nonsensical stuff people will say of disrespecting the deceased person.

well, at least our religion doesn't have such way of saying or rules. and not all my uncles are christians but they are fine with this idea. so i think its based on individuals.

the company's drivers

the cross design flower

a small part of the flowers mummy received which i'm sure she'll be very glad to see them since she loved flowers very much.

smelly watering the flowers along with the lil cousins whose not in the pictures.

wei came over in the morning together when we went back to sg to get things and then back home here

lil cousins taking this shot with me unprepared and someone very well prepared for the cam

day 4

the few cars parking in front while waiting for the cars behind and people going toilet ont he way back to hometown aka grandparents home aka parents growing up place aka smelly and my partial growing up place

the funeral ended smoothly with good weather during the burial day. for the past 3 nights, there were uncountable people coming over which 1/2 of them are people whom i don't know because they are either parents' business partners and their old friends. but still appreciate their presence because it means mummy is someone who had worth the trip to attend the funeral.

during the last journey with mummy back to her hometown, its no longer our own family but instead we had a whole stretch of cars of relatives and a bus of church members all accompanying her back.

and all the flowers that was received was transported over by the lorry and everyone got to receive a stalk of flower to give to mummy before the burial.

after which, the few of us went to pluck all the flowers out and threw them as the workers started to fill the hole with the mud. layer of mud, layer of flowers...

everything ended smooth and good. (:
