ok. so the past few days have been rather tiring for me. I,m starting to understand how it feels like to be Xinyi (although she might still be having a harder time than me)
So. I attended my Grandmothers funeral.
Honestly speaking i still get freaked out when i look at dead people.
Whats even worse is looking at someone you know lying there. Their lips are pale
Their face is white.
So. One thing i noted about the funeral. Monks can definitely chant. One might call it the buddhist version of rap. Whatever, they can mutter really fast. Period.
What i really couldnt stand was how fucked up some people are.
Hello. Its my Grandmother's funeral and there are actually screwed up people stealing things from my grandmothers home?
Then there are those ignorant people who have to smoke in front of her picture. I dont give a shit if you,re a smoker but at least smoke else where, not in front of my grandma's Picture and Coffin.
Lastly whats it with them funeral people. Yes the buddhist ritual is long. However when people are paying their last respects and want to be sincere by saying some last words and bowing 3 times, dont hurry them. How'd you like it if YOUR mother died and you werent even allowed to wish her a peaceful afterlife ( i,m assuming theres an afterlife ) but the stupid funeral guy hurries you up.

Really people these days.

K next thing. I met a cutie at the funeral.
Her name is Doreena ( i hoped i spelt it correctly ) and shes my youngest cousin.
Yes a friendly , cute , smart helpful kid.
I,m not too sure of her age but its probably i,d say 6-9
yup thats her.
I wish i had a younger sis like her.
i seem to be a sucker for little kids (now the idea is not to think dirty)
Ok. So i also visited Chen over the past few days.
I met another cutie there too!
His name is Todds. = )
Yup Todds is tiny. He's a cavalier and a puppy too!
lovable puppy indeed.
He knows how to pose!
Yup.
Ok... today was a rather monotonous day
I stayed home the whole day and multitasked between Naruto-Arena and Studying various stuffs. Going shopping for Nick's Birthday stuff tomorrow (well actually today).
But the highlight of the day was when i was talking to shampi ( a friend from belgium )
He was telling me about the best beer in the world which was from Belgium. Also we were talking about other kinds of beer e.g German Beer , Denmark beer etc.
So i suddenly had a beer craving. I told my dad : "I feel like drinking beer"
30 mins later , he came up and gave me this
So now, i,m drinking my Carlsberg ( Denmark beer ) while playing naruto-arena. <-- notice the win sign on my screen ( ; I really enjoy reading Ricky's blog = )
