in order to entertain jackie who still doesn't want to openly proclaim that she misses me (HAHAHA)
i shall post!
i just learned yesterday that my grandfather suffered a stroke.
today i found out that the complications arise due to one of his major arteries being clogged.
and it's weighing on me how i realised all of a start that in my lifetime i'll have to face my grandparents' departure. even though now i'm very very fortunate to have both my maternal and paternal grandparents still with me.
and then i thought about how i should handle grief and partings. and that due to my very CMI teochew -which leads to my passiveness in relating to them even though i do respect them very much, i realised i'm not doing very much to treasure them.
then i thought again about how life would change, particularly for my parents.
i'm not sure if it's okay to smile and laugh while someone dear to you is still struggling in hospital
but i know for a fact that with sincere prayer and trust in God everything will be fine! because trials show God's triumph! and His goodness will shine through in spite of the dark clouds that loom over.
so i've been praying that this crisis will tide over soon and my gonggong will be able to witness the power of God in His miracles and come to believe in Him.
on less sombre notes, wep ends in 2 days! which is something that makes me smile everytime i think of it. and i'll be reuniting with my primary school best friends soon! and canoeing clinic tmr! (: poor aiwen almost got duped into going alone til i very nobly decided i had to accompany her. HAHA.
and wep has been quite enjoyable so far since i got permission to leave the subzero zone to the temperate zone and played bingo with the reporters who are always bored beyond belief. i love the way we play bingo. it's like buying and selling stocks in the stock exchange arena. or at least how they prob used to do it. no exchange of words, only deft hand signals and firm eye contact and BINGO! game over. then i turn back to burning my eyes facing the laptop.
holidays please stay please don't go away i haven't sorted out my life direction/enjoyed myself/found out how to make life more meaningful/earned more $$$!
