Death..

What is it like after one's death? This is the question i always ponder about when someone in my family passed away.

This time round, i lost my 4th granduncle, only 65 yrs old. He died of heart attack. It came to me as a shock cos i never hear him suffer from any illnesses. I heard that he was very health conscious. He used to practise 'qigong', go for dancing lessons, play golf and sing alot.

6 granduncles in total, now only left 1.. The rest either died of heart attack or cancer. Haiz..

It was really very unexpected for him to leave us. Nobody was at all prepared for that.

For the past few days, i went to his hse to help out. Took leave today to send him off. Though i wasnt very close to him, i thought i should pay my last respects since he was my elder and helped my dad a lot.

It is good to see that his grandchildren, my little cousins are very supportive and sensible. I was very touched when i saw them comforting their parents and grandma.

Life is indeed very fragile. One big fire and the person will be gone. Overheard a conversation from an uncle. He said, life is just like a show, if one has completed playing the role that he is being assigned to, he will then have to leave and there will be new roles coming up.

Sidetrack a bit. I want to pass some comments abt some rich ppl. My granduncle lived in private estate, so his funeral had to be set up along the roadside. 2 of his rich neighbours are so not accomodating.

One was angry that we blocked the road entrance to his hse. But what can we do? We need space to set up the tables. And it is not that it is a daily event, it is only for 3 days. Guess what he did. He took photos of the cars parked along the road and called the police to ask them issue summon. Oh my god.. cant believe that there is actually this kind of ppl on earth.

The other one is also a rich neighbour. It happened on my granduncle's last day. The person is very irritating. There was a van parked beside the person's hse, not in front the gate, mind you. Then ard noon time, the neighbour wanted to drive his car out. He horned for many many many times. It is not that the van is blocking his way out. He definitely got space to drive his car out of his hse, but he din want to. He kept on horning, horning and horning until the van shifted.

Why cant they be more understanding. It appears that they are not respecting the dead. So what if they are rich. It is not as if they wont have to go through death. So irritated by them, think all those present also felt the same.
