if i know your story
past
__ Sunday, July 26, 2009


you wouldnt believe what i did today.
i was at my great grandfather's exhumation.
i was literally fighting for time there,
my parents thought it was inappropriate of me to be there.
but i just insisted to stay anyways.

it just felt comfortable,
the peace and tranquility of a place that's so filled with grieve and love all at the same time.
the entire process was surprisingly fast.
the violence of an electric saw breaking the silence,
attempting to release the gentle soul within.
even exhumation, we see the diff between the old days and now.
after 27 years of being buried under the ground, soaked in soil and water,
the coffin was still lying seemingly new.
they said it was because of the good quality wood they used in the past.
its all about the respect that people had,
they felt that the place of rest was important, hence the expensive wood.
now, people are just contented to incinerate their ancestors,
occupying as little space as possible.

ok, this feels highly inappropriate in my crappy blog.
its been a super long time since i blogged something like that.
hmmmm.
strange really.
i lost time with people i could have treasured.
apparently, i cried when my aunt was talking about the time when my great grandma passed away.
i remb when she passed away,
i came home, called my parents and refused to believe what i heard.
then i called qiao. haha.
totally forgot what i ranted to her, but i cried a whole freaking load.
time robbed me of the chance to spend more time with them.
