Grandma left the world
At 1.40am, Dad called home. My paternal grandma just died. Both my maternal parents are gone long time ago le... now left with only my paternal grandpa all alone in the world. He not only have to face the loneliness at home, but also have to live with the stroke he's sufferring now.
Indeed our family are not very close to my grandma. But the thoughts of not able to see her again just make me grieve. Oh ya... let me start to account my day first...
In church today, we had an evangelism sermon! The speaker was particularly good in delivering the speech. God has let us know His heart from the bible, which is to spread the gospel. Though it does matter whether people believes in Him or not, but most importantly, we as christian have to share the blessings God gave us, unconditionally and willingly, to the people around us. I like the way the pastor interpreted the bible. Initially God intended to give the Israelites the blessings and wanted them to share this blessings with the world. But they guarded the blessings among themselves!! In the end, God took away this responsibility and allow non-Israelites to be blessed equally.
The pastor also talks about swearing. In one of the scriptures, God sweared by Himself. Normally when people swear, they swear by something more superior then him. E.g. i swear to God that i didn't eat your cookies!! Since God is the highest, and when he sweared by himself, it truly highlight the importance of what He meant.
Ok... perhaps i didn't manage to bring my points across since my English is rather atrocious. Next, i drove some church friends to Changi Airport before going home. Tiredness overcame me since i slept only 3 hours yesterday!! After a short 1 hour break, i had lunch with my parents before they left for work.
Afternoon was dreadful. Don't know what to do!! I played ( or bang again ) the piano for a while before using the computer. At around 6pm, dad called and desperately wanted us to visit the grandma for a while. Well... not really easy for the 4 of us to meet up, especially on sunday!!! Hence i gathered my siblings ( Esther from ACCA school, Eunice from Buona Vista mrt ( didn't manage to meet up with her colleages ) and Joshua from church ) and took a taxi to my grandma house. Manage to reach there by 6.30pm and stayed there until 8.15pm
From what i observed, my grandma was unconscious. Every breath needs concerted effort. I stood there looking at her until my legs ached a little. My relatives, whom are all buddhist, are all enchanting "Namo Amitabha" repeatedly. I do not believe all these. But out of respect, i just stood there listening and looking at my grandma in her final hour. Shortly after that, she passed away at 1.40am, 21st May 2007, Mon. Grandma, i did pray for u when i'm looking at u. I asked God to take your soul and be with Him in paradise, despite the fact that u're not christian. I have no control over life and death, but i hope God will be gracious to you. You are always a very loving grandma to me, smiling to me always... appreciate you a lot...
I wonder if my family is going to celebrate my bro birthday on 22nd May or not... -______- "
Ok... i shall end my entry now... Papa, be a strong guy. Don't let circumstances deter you from living out the fullest of your life. You're always a role model to me... your hardworkingness and diligence... (^.^) Let's hope for the best tomorrow... Wonder what is going to happen...
