still like damn sad leh ... how ?

sudden

When I reached home yesterday, my mum told me that my dad went back to Malaysia. It was so sudden . I was already expecting something bad, because my dad won't go back without any plans made beforehand .

The first thing I thought of was, "did my grandmother landed up in the hospital again?"

No, it wasn't. My mum told me that my dad's 堂哥 (my 伯伯) passed away. Good news was that there's nothing wrong with my grandmother but the bad news was that someone i know passed away ..

I saw him 2 months ago, at my aunt's funeral. He was alive and looked like a perfectly normal person to me. Able to talk , walk , ride motorbike, etc. We even took the same coach bus back to Singapore, just that he alighted at Johor.

My mum told me that he had gotten cancer also. I don't know what is it called in english, but in chinese, it's called 前列腺癌. She also told me that a guy who attended the funeral, died of brain cancer one week after my aunt passed away . I saw him once when we were eating dinner , but at that time , he was already in great pain .

2011 is not a good year . So many people whom I know passed away , even my grandmother's best friend (they called her my grandmother's 姐妹) also passed away .

There's nothing one can do . That's just reality.
