Happy Father's Day
so today's father's day..........happy father's day then.........
so i think this next bit is kinda long long over due. but in my own defense, i would add that im not particularly affected by the events that had happened.......
so my granddad has passed away..........ummm.......abt slightly more than a month ago......
so i might sound alittle.....unfilial? by stating that im not really affected by his passing......well, first off, im not really close to him........and secondly, he passed on while i was having a ball of a time in HK.......relations btwn my grandfather and the rest of the family had been really strained for a really really long time.........the only person who actually continued to care for him during his bouts of illnesses and stuff was my dad.........all the other 4 children had kinda dumped him on my dad and lifted nary a finger to help over the past 10 odd years........
he did make a few mistakes himself to cause the string on the camel's back to break years ago though.............
well, i guess at this point in time i do not have much to say abt the whole thing........but im glad with his passing it is all over.........at least now all his children can move on as well.......
one thing funny though.......and something which i have a teeny weeny little bit of query........on the 7th day of his passing, i went with my parents to the temple with some customary offerings for my deceased granddad and the family ancestors.......and there was a basket of fruits with the words "Wan Shi Ru Yi" (translated: it's just a chinese greeting of prosperity) inscribed on the handle of the basket.....
now, im not sure that is totally appropriate............
