my grandpa died last night. dad called me out of band prac to ask me to go to a service (wake, day 1) at kallang. everyone is in shock, but I guess we were all kind of expecting it. my kong was suffering from a weak heart, and it was so weak that he couldnt even go for a bypass. after being hospitalised for a month, he finally went.. my dad is really distraught now. a nurse called him at nearly 11 last night, asking him to rush to the hospital as my grandpa had had his third (fourth?) heart attack in two weeks and had collapsed. then this morning my mum scolded me for not asking about kong.. she hadnt told me that he'd passed away. he left us at 10.40pm. everyone at the service cried; friends of my dad's, his brother's church people, kong's old friends and of course family. its amazing to find how much love can be gathered in one place. well I am almost certain that kong is feeling much better now; two legs instead of one, for example. we tried to joke about it, being happy and 'rejoicing' as the pastor put it.. well.. my grandpa had GEL in his hair. =) we will be going to the wake day 2 tomorrow, and the cortege leaves on thursday. sigh, I just hope my dad is okay.
today mr Ng gave me detention because I'd forgotten to bring my EW book yesterday. should have passed it to the front before he asked, because those people didnt get their names taken down.. but anyway I gave him my book today and he didnt give me a definite answer on whether or not I have to go for detention. I cant go! I AM A GOOD PUPIL. Am never going to get detention, ever. so HOPEFULLY he will remember that I am a hard working student and give me some leeway. haha.
well goodnight then.
