My grandma's wake ended last Wed in the total of 9 days and 7 nights. The funeral was so grand and we had almost 3 sessions of chanting of prayers every single day. and It was at the crematorium that I really cried and hope she won't feel any pain.
"Ah ma, I thank you for bringing up papa. he would always go to you whenever he needed help. Without him, there will be no us. Please watch over papa when you are in heaven ok? Bless him with great health and happiness. xie xie ah ma"
It was during the funeral that I saw how much my father had aged. He was so old and fatigued. at the very last day of the funeral, he brought his comb to me and ask me to help him comb his hair. I was speechless. I combed it nicely for him, ensuring that every strand was in place. in the past, I would sit on your shoulder eating the malt candy and dripping onto your hair. Now the jet black hair had turned so grey. I wished we were back to childhood days when we where still happy. papa stop disappointing us. We want you back, really. I wanna see my papa & mama so in love again.

Thank you Mark Lim, who had been with me all these while to bring sunshine into my life. I really appreciate what you had done for me. I enjoyed every single moment with you, chatting, laughing, gossiping and the quiet moments in the car where you will just sing along with any song.
For tonight, you played and sang me 'I do Cherish You' & '世界唯一的你' over the phone, to wish me goodnight and sweet dreams (: yay! you're learning all my fav songs too! I hope to see drums next time too! :p
I hope to spend more time together with you despite our super busy schedules. Jiayou for your upcoming exams! Work hard for the next 3 years in NUS! and your Capoeira and Water Polo!
