Wedding Day...Whats that?!

A wedding is the ceremony in which two people are united in marriage. Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religious, countries, and social classes. Most wedding ceremonies involve an exchange of wedding vows by the couple, presentation of a gift (offering, ring(s), symbolic item, flowers, money), and a public proclamation of marriage by an authority figure or leader. Special wedding garments are often worn, and the ceremony is followed by a wedding reception.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weddings)

The 7th Day...Is it too late?

06/03/2009- the seventh day..day of rememberance for my uncle- Mr Tiger

Seven days ago, he was still in pain..the cancer cell started to pop out and obviously seen on his foot and hand.That was how much the cell has "conquered" his organs..but i noe,he didnt give up..he fighted with it since he was diagnosed until the last moment that God answered his prayer..God held his hand and brought him back to Heaven..he left all of us peacefully. He smiled..bcoz he made it..Ngiu, 1st Gio n him are gonna have a reunion party up there??

1st blog in my life on the remembrance day (chinese culture)..Am I writting this to show others how much i love him?to show how much i miss him? or just to show how good i can blog??who cares?!? but I truely miss him!!

Few days back, received a call from my sis. I was told the way he looks like when they opened up the coffin for viewing. He looks peace with slide smiling face..he looks exactly like having a deep sleep but without his "trade-marked" snoring sound..she cried on the phone asking me how can i comfort her..At that instant, i got choked by sobs..i was so lost n speechless..wat else can i say? wat else can i do?

When he was still in kuching, when he was still alive, my dad asked me to call him as often as i can..but i didnt..i noe i wont be able to hold my tears and that would make him feel even worse (what the fxxking excuse is tat?)..but i really wish i could just pick up the phone n make the call.maybe just to say hi...but its too late..everythg is different from the day he left..i lost another uncle who has pampered me tat much..Rushed in the express boat to give me a big ang bao and told me "this is for u..buy anythg u like..dont save it when it comes to food..eat as u like.." ~~this wil not happen anymore.. sob sob...

From this moment on, i will not mention about this anymore..it will be forever kept in my heart..becoz i dun need others to agree how much i love him..how much i miss him..how much impact hit me badly, and how much i cherish all the memories flashed tru my mind..

Gio,

Thank you..i noe i should have said it long time ago..im sorry for all the ignorance..i couldnt make it to see u for the last time..this wil b the thorn that tick off me whenever i think of u..you, so steady loh, can meet 1st Gio n Ngiu up there..can teach them to sing the song u like the most - ( http://www.zanmeishi.com/song/view/MTM4Mg==/ ) ..im listening to it now..i can feel the peace u had from the song..we r sad, but we all noe that, this is the way u have asked for..God has answered ur prayers..so envy..sob sob..we will meet again one day.. oh ya, u havent tell me the way to cook "the chicken in bamboo" ..lawa siao..this is somethg u owe me..Good Bye Gio...hugs~~
