Finally the funeral had come to an end. No military band or Chinese orchestra were invited. Ya, it's a simple funeral attended mostly by the relatives. Happy or sad, but this is the only time where you can meet your never-meet relatives. And ya, I met some of my relatives which I never even know about their existence. They are friendly and they actually told us stories of how my grandpa suffer those time back. From nothing until now, owing at least three houses. Only now I realize how strong and how tough my grandpa is and one thing that I wold never know if I never meet these relatives is that he is a lovely man. In my memories, he always the fierce one, the strict one, and the scary one. But he is the one who loves his children so much though he used the wrong method to treat his children. We might not know but He is the father who have his reason for every action and reaction. He is a GREAT father.
I witnessed the unselfishness love of my grandma toward grandpa They had been together over 50years. Grandpa was kinda hot-tempered but grandma bear with her for over 50 YEARS. Yea, she is short so she cant reach to see his over 50 years companion. We wanted so much to let her to see his hubby for one last time. Yea we did. But she rejected and refused to see his face and when we ask why. She said she scare she fail to control her tears from rolling down the cheek and the tears will drop onto the coffin. She doesn't want him to worry about her anymore. And at last, she never see how peaceful looking is my grandpa. I wouldn't know if she regret with her decision, but I think, she will NEVER. And she will make the same decision even encounter the same situation.
To organize something together, the people in charge might have some argument and ya, sibling have some disagreement and created some chaos during the funeral. Though it's such a disgraceful and disrespectful to grandpa, but none would tolerate. But this is the very first time that I will say loudly that DADDY, IM PROUD OF YOU AND EVEN PROUD TO BE YOUR DAUGHTER. You are the helpful one and not doing things on motives. You are sincere to your family and I can tell you care about them so much. Daddy, you are a really great brother and you set a good example for me, your daughter.
I just knew that mostly my family uncles from KL are engineering and aunties are teachers. My dad can be a successful person if grandpa has the ability to cultivate him when he was young, He has a good common sense and a learnful hear. Frankly speaking Sometimes I have doubt at myself that am I really smart enough to take up this engineering course. But now, I have a clear vision that I must graduate and get the cert for my dad. Yes, dad is a good engineer WITHOUT license and now, I'm getting it for him. It's nothing compare to what grandpa and dad went through all these while. Without them, there will never be me who are enjoying life in Singapore right now. No matter what, I gotta DO IT!!!
Grandpa, rest in peace. God bless you. Your granddaughter.
