Feeling bit down....Attended my aunt's funeral cremation in Mandai Crematorium on Sunday. Buddhists rites were held at the void deck while relatives take a last look and send her off. Some preyed with josh sticks while others just say their blessings. And undergo the procession of sending the deceased along the road, it was a heart wrenching moment. At the Mandai Crematorium, we were led to a small auditorium to conduct more rites while the coffin was automated to the far end of the room. After that, we were led to another room to witness the cremation. Before long the coffin was automated slowly into a furnace, emotions ran high in the room and couldn't bare wetting my eyes. Life can be unpredictable, if u have to go u just have to, there's no stopping it. Sometimes I think life's a story, my parents help me fill in my first words.Then I add some more words or even erase some of their words. Then finally, I weave my other half of the book with my final words. Its like a process, study, work to sustain life and live my final years till the time has come....
