It's Me Justin

Live each day to the Fullest 24 June 2008

I know I'm always talking about death. And it is because it is just so real to me. Going for my grandaunt's funeral was like a another visit to a friend. Even though, we weren't exactly close, nor did I know her very well, I felt a sort of obligation to go. Maybe it's because I'm the eldest grandson of my family. Learnt alot about my grandaunt's family as well as the extended family. If I were to draw a humongous family tree relating everyone, I wonder when it will end. ha.

Well, it's sad to see your loved ones go, especially for the immediate family and anyone close. It's even more sad when you know your loved one is going to spend eternal life somewhere we wouldn't think of going. On the other end, I believe it is a joyous occasion knowing that one day, you will meet him/her in heaven together with God. The same question again, 'Do you know where you are going after death?'

Paying your last respects at a buddhist/taoist funeral may sometimes be hard for us as Christians. But one thing for sure, we need to make our stand. We do not offer jossticks to the deceased, nor do we bow down before them. I believe that the only person we bow down to is our King in Heaven.

So after the entire funeral which lasted 4 days, I went to ikea/alexandra/queensway with my mum. Finally bought myself a pair of casual shoes. So that's about my day. Did not go to school today.

I'm so tired I just don't have any mood to study....
