Hello everyone!

My family and I are back. Thanks for those who asked and cared. :)
The trip to HK was fun with some really sad times. Though in the midst of bereavement, we still did shop and eat and have fun. We went to Ocean Park for roller-coaster rides. We went to shop at many different places. Well, being half-honky, i have the privilege of knowing where to shop and what to eat. We had prawns that were at least the size of my palm and many other super fresh and yummy seafood! We also bought a lot of stuff - from clothings to bags to shoes to accessories. The best part was meeting up with family and friends. I met church friends whom i played with when i was young. I met my Singapore International School(SIS) friends. Meeting up with people whom i haven't seen in a long time was the best.

The wake service and funeral was the purpose of the trip. And of course, it was the most saddening part of the trip. The wake service in HK is really different from the ones in Singapore. The order and tradition of it is very different. I personally wasn't used to it. My siblings and i got to share about what we remember of Gong Gong. It really was hard to talk about it. The whole family really cried and grieved for the lost of our most loved one. Looking at his body really reminded me of the many many things he has done and sacrificed for all of us. He looked so skinny. He really lost so much weight during the 2 months that he was in the hospital cause all he consumed was liquid food. Who couldn't loose weight right? My siblings and i have Gong Gong and Po Po's photos. We purposely picked out the happiest photos of them and kept it. That's something that we can have to remind us of them time and time again. Yi Li inherited Gong Gong's watch and he really loves it. He's been wearing it ever since he got it.

After i came back, i did go out on sunday night and monday night. At least i'm getting used to the life and weather back here in Singapore. Today, I went for my tooth extraction surgery. It was a short but painful experience. Painful but bearable. Haha. Okay okay. I can bear pain. I expected it to be more painful but it's not. :) Now i have stitches in the right side of my mouth. I can't really talk and eat properly now. Oh, i have two more extractions to go through. So i'll most properly get them out next week or the week after that. My tooth is huge!!! And i am proud to say that it's not rotten!!! The part of my body that i'm most proud of is my smile cause of my teeth!!! Okay. I shan't continue, shall i? haha.

For those whom i haven't met in a LOONNGGG TIME, drop me an sms! I'm not working and i would wanna meet you!!! LOVES! :D
