Life sometimes is so unpredictable and so full of coincidences. I just got back from Grandma's house. Went there to pray and sing hymns for
Ye Ye, as today marks the 7th day since he has left the world, and the other is to ironically celebrate my grandmother's birthday. The atmosphere was rather sombre. I know deep down in our hearts, we all still mourn over the death of
Ye Ye. I simply cannot get over the fact that
Ye Ye is gone, gone forever..to heaven...a better place with God, and he won't be coming back anymore. 人死难与复生。
While at gm's, my cousin showed me a letter written by
Ye Ye in 2003, 4 years ago, where he thanked the Lord for allowing him to live for this long, despite having 2 heart bypass surgeries within 18 years. On it, he endearingly signed off as, "Your obedient son." What caught all of us by surprise was the dates in which he had written the letter. At first he wrote 20/7/2003, to which he quickly changed it to 24/7/2003. We guessed that he might have taken a few days to pen down the letter. 20th was the 1st time that he had written the letter. (coincidentally it was the day that he passed away) Afterwhich he finished writing his letter on the 24th, hence the reason for him changing the date. (coincdentally, it was the day that he was cremated) Who would have ever imagined that 4 years later, from the date in which
Ye Ye had 1st written the letter, he would leave us for good. How do you explain this?
Ye Ye had actually predicted his death and cremation dates? Is this God's way of playing a joke on
Ye Ye and us?
Owells, at least now we know he's in the safe hands of the Lord, since he is a staunch catholic - a great believer in God. (: Every morning, i wake up wishing that
Ye Ye's pass on is not true. I still think that this whole episode of losing my beloved grandfather, is nothing but a bad dream. Tell me it is. Tell me so. We miss you terribly,
Ye Ye...we miss you...

A Tribute to My Grandfather (20-7-2007) My mind is still in a whirl.
It took me so hard to swallow the truth,
that he's gone, my grandfather's gone...forever.
I hope you've lived a life of no regrets,
Ye Ye.
Rest assured we'll take good care of
Ma Ma.
May your afterlife with God be a blissful and wonderful one.
You'll always be dearly and fondly missed by all of us.
I love you.
Rest in peace.

"In God's Hands" by Nelly Furtado is simply beautiful! Love the melody and lyrics, even though i cannot relate to it at all. haha. Anyhows, i thought she was able to bring out the emotions and the essence of the song really well. Kudos to her for that! :D
Caught the latest installment of HP movie this evening. Great effects and fabulous acting skills potrayed by most of the characters, esp. Harry. I thought Luna Lovegood's acting was kinda stiff and her voice was. . . . priceless, cos it was so monotonous. LOL. i could imagine her reading a bedtime story to me, and I falling asleep the very next second! haha. =X Overall, i think the movie's much better than the book. However, if you did not read the book, then you wouldn't be able to understand some parts of the movie.
Ohs, and I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW BOOK TO BE RELEASED! THEN ALL OUR QUERIES WILL BE ANSWERED. SO EXCITES! (: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Okay, shall end off here, with the lyrics to the above-mentioned song. Night all!
I looked at your face, I saw that all the love had diedI saw that we had forgotten to take the timeI, I saw that you couldn't care less about what you doCouldn't care less about the liesYou couldn't find the time to cryWe forgot about loveWe forgot about faithWe forgot about trustWe forgot about usNow our love's floating out the windowOur love's floating out the back doorOur love's floating up in the sky in heavenWhere it began back in God's handsYou said that you had said all that you had to sayYou said baby it's the end of the dayAnd we gave a lot but it wasnm't enoughWe got so tired that we just gave upWe didn't respect itWe went and neglected itWe didn't deserve itBut I never expected thisOur love floated out the windowOur love floated out the back doorOur love floated up in the sky to heavenIt's part of a planIt's back in God's handsBack in God's handsIt didn't lastIt's a thing of the pastOh we didn't understandJust what we hadOh I want it backJust what we hadOh I want it backOh just what we had

Watching his health deteriorate as the day passes,
pains my heart.
It really does.
Seeing my Dad and grandma sit by his bedside for days and night,
and have never left that seat once,
makes me realise that love can conquer all.
For the love of his father and her husband,
they have been there all these while to patiently wait by my granddad,
to accompany him,
to make him comfortable,
to abide by his requests,
to make him happy -
as he embarks on the last few days/weeks/months/ of his life.
I know it pains their heart as well,
watching my him slowly leave us in this manner.
I so wish i can help them to ease their pain,
I really wish so...
