Good Bye

When this cert is being issued...it marks the end of a life.
1/3/1955 - 15/10/2007
A short 53 years of lifespan juz goes to show how vulnerable human's life is.
Monday was the day that my uncle bid fare well to Earth & headed towards Heaven. Friday is the day that i do not look forward to but like it or not, the cruel day arrived & gone.
I woke up very early on Friday morning & we (dad + mum + sis & me) went over to the wake place @ 8am. Had breakfast, after which, the praying ceremony began. It was a long ceremony & the part that hit me was when Ah-Ma when over to the "drum" area to hit the drum before the drum team can begin their session. As we were asked to seat within the tentage where the coffin is, alot of thoughts actually ran through my mind. All the young days images & even images from the recent June meet up (during xueling jie jie's baby full mth) flashes & flashes over & over again in my mind. Before we proceed to Mandai Crematorium and Columbarium Complex, we were asked to go 1 round the coffin to pay 1 last respect. OMG...my tears...
Soon after everyone went round our late uncle 1 round, it's time to walk the last few steps with uncle b4 we bought the bus to Mandai.
As we journey the last short distant with uncle, my relative & uncle's friends more thoughts hits me. As we walk down the streets...when i saw "ah boy" kneeling down near the bus stop...OMG...my tears again. Soon, we were asked to bought the bus.
When we reached Mandai Crematorium and Columbarium Complex my fear begin. I know it...i know it's juz a matter of a few mins before my uncle turned into ash...

After a short praying ceremony @ Hall 2 (level 1), we proceed to the viewing hall.
The cruel moment arrived. As the coffin scroll slowing...moving nearer & nearer to the burner... the only phrase that's running through me was "不要"...OMG...my tear roll out from my eyes all the way to my cheek. I know no matter how loud i shout, nothing can change this fact. The very second before the coffin entered the burner... cousin "ju" freak out. This is the 1st time...1st ever time i feel the closeness btw her & her father but i guess it's all too late. When the door of the burner closed, we all know that it marks the end.
Well...for whatever it is, i'd say let bygone by bygone...life goes on...
