12 Weeks Gone

Silently praying - Nearer My God To Thee (Anne Murray)

It was the first death of a relative on daddy's side of the family since granny crossed-over 11 years ago. Mom has been updating me about things. During the funeral procession, true colours were displayed. I'm disappointed at my daddy's siblings who did not attend the wake or partake in the cortege. Bad feng-shui is not a valid excuse. I feel that it's an unacceptable behaviour to believe in things that will hinder one to pay last respects to the deceased. I'm ashamed to be blood-related to such people. Oh well, you know what they say: what goes around, comes around.

On a brighter note, the love and support showered by my mother's side has once again made my heart smile. Mom informed me that her siblings attended the wake till late. Immediately, I knew that they weren't only there to pay their respects to my late uncle, but were there for the main purpose of supporting their sister. I love my mom's family to bits. It always feel so warm and fuzzy when they're around. That's what a family should be like! Bad feng-shui shouldn't be an excuse to disrespect. In fact, I think it's bad feng-shui to disrespect for that matter.

Anyway, the academic term is coming to its end. Next week will be my final week of classes, followed by a week's break to study, and the much dreaded 2-week long exam period. I just finished a laboratory test for one of my biology subjects today. It was awesome, thanks to Sian! She did it last year and passed me her exam paper. Most of the questions were xeroxed!
