Looking the Part

Land of Giants

In the month of October

Firstly, I apologize for not updating my blog in such a long time. I guess it took me a while before I found the right time and words to say what I felt in my heart. A lot of things have happened over the last few weeks. Besides the daily demands of work and school there has been two significant events that took place this month.

For those of you who don't already know, my Grandma passed away on the 8th of Oct 06 at 1955H at Changi General Hospital. I loved my grandma very, very much. I still miss her. It feels funny not having her around anymore. I was taken by surprise when my brother, who was holiday-ing in Australia, called to tell me that my grandma has passed away. I was in the car at the moment on the was to the hospital to actually visit her. As news of my grandma's passing spread around, I was still in shock. I couldn't accept it. At that point of time, the thought of my grandma not being around was unimaginable. But, yes, my grandma passed away that fateful Sunday evening.

For those of you who were fortunate enough to have met my grandma when she was still alive, I think you can fully grasp the meaning of how much my grandma meant to everyone. My grandma was a strong woman. She lived her life to the fullest. Traveling between Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, America and Canada my grandma loved traveling. I guess that the fact that many of my uncles, aunties and cousins migrated gave my grandma an excuse to travel. She was independent and loved to have people around her. She loved to have people at her house and she would always cook for everyone. She was the greatest cook I've ever know and she knew all my favorite dishes and would purposely cooked them and then invite me to her house. My grandma left behind a legacy. A wonderful legacy that not many of us will ever have the opportunity to do. Just by looking at her sons, daughters, son-in-laws, daughter-in-laws, nephews, nieces, their children and all her grand children you can tell that she had a wonderful life.

Now that my grandma is gone, I hope that she is looking down at all of us from heaven and that she is proud of all of us. I just wished that I had spent more time with her while she was still around. Maybe I could have told her how much I loved her even more. Grandma, thank you for everything. I love you so very, very much and I miss you very, very much.



Well, on a happier note, 12th of Oct 06 was also my 2 yr anniversary with Jasmine. The 2 years spent with her so far has been wonderful. Darling, thank you! Thank you for always being there for me when I need someone to lean on for support, thank you for all the advice, thank you for putting up with all my nonsense and mood swings and finally, thank you for loving me for who I am. I really want to thank you for all your support during my grandma's passing. I really don't know what I would have done without you. Thank you for the last 2 yrs and may we have many more happy yrs in the future.

As you all can seen, this month of Oct has been a total roller-coaster ride of emotions. I want to thank all my friends and family for all their support and prayers during this time. Thank you Jas for everything and most importantly, thank you God for everything. Thank you for seeing me through this whole time.
