Lots of people are afraid of death, including me.

Somehow that sparked a little chain of reactions and thoughts when I visited my grand aunt's wake yesterday, that death isn't that scary afterall.

The wake itself was a peaceful affair, without burning of incense paper or any loud music or long chants everyday by the priest. Buddhists' wakes are much peaceful compared to taoists'. It's just a simple act of lighting up the joss sticks,praying then bowing to the deceased. No noisy music, no suffocating smell from burning incense paper, etc

I would like that when I die, lol...I appreciate peace more than anything. Just, don't make any noise during my funeral, that'll help me pass on peacefully :D

Grandaunt's someone who I've only met once, as far as I can remember. I only remember going to her place at woodlands when I was young and complaining that it's freaking far, lol...I don't have any other memories of her. It's just a piece of my life.

I'll be going again tonight, am drawn to the peace somehow.

This post is full of grammer mistakes, damm

Death

  I’m sorry to let you down, papa, mama.  I just want to know that it’s the hardest decision that I’ve ever made, to leave you. But living on has become increasingly difficult. I have left some money for the both you, please take care of your health.  Don’t be sad, because life goes round, and one day we will meet again. I’m sorry to have taken the easy way out. You wanted me to become someone useful but I’m here stuck in a job for years and not wanting to move because of so many reasons.  I’m sorry to let everyone down, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I think it’s finally time to do it. I would like Eileen Gwee to have 1/3 of my fortunes, with the rest going to my parents. Eileen, I’m sorry that our last memory is of you being disappointed in me. I’ll try to be a better person in the next life. I’m sorry to have taken the easy way out, it’s so hard. We are not married yet, but I love you more than anyone I’ve been with. I don’t know if you’d ever beli...

resolutions

It has been a year of ups and downs with The Girl and we really went through a lot as a couple. Sometimes I feel as if we're going too fast, and maturing too fast as a couple (cos we've experienced so much together) but I guess it is fine cos we were able to learn a lot about ourselves and about each other as we got through the year. Having said that, I do wish that 2011 was better. There are improvements to be made, girl to cherish more (you know who you are) and fats to be lost in 2012. Here are my resolutions for the coming year. 1) To be able to fit into XL or L shirts by Christmas 2) To qualify for Honors 3) To become a better person 4) To take up a new sport and keep to it 5) To spend my first paycheck on Joanna Hope that it'd all be fulfilled if the world doesn't end! :DDDD
