Love

After months of stress, SPM came to an end weeks ago. Woohoo! :D In a way, I'm happy that exams are over but sad because it marks the end of high school life. We can no longer wear school uniform, carry heavy bags to school and see each other every day, gossip and laugh out loud in the class and make teachers angry. Hahahahaha....!!! I bet a lot of people will miss the famous Aunty Irene's nasi lemak, those fried food and roti canai. Not forgetting the wonderful teachers who once tortured us with tonnes of homework ranging from lab report to essays. The copying part too when we forgot to do something or just lazy to do. :P Books will be flying from one corner to the other, from table to table meeting different students in the class. Student's life is always easier than an adult's life. All we need to do is to study hard, score good grades, excel in extra curricular activities and have fun in school but once we enter the adult's life, things will be totally different.

An end marks a new beginning of something. That's what people said.

On 10th December 2009 which is two days after SPM, my family and I were happily going to the night market to shop. When we reach the night market entrance, my mom's phone rang. The person on the phone said told my mom that her mom has passed away. My mom was like, what? Who said that my mother pass away? May I know who this is? So the lady on the phone told her that she is calling from the old folk's home, my grandma was placed in. From that moment, we know that grandma has passed away and she doesn't need to suffer anymore. She can rest in peace now.

I've been busy during that weekend. Don't ever think that job is gonna be easy for you when someone has passed away. It's far more tiring then what you usually do. My dad told me that there are three stages in life that makes you feel tired the most which are when someone:
1. Born
2. Get married
3. Passed away
Don' t take the things in your life for granted. Love the people around you. Visit them more often. Tell that you love them before you regret especially when the person you love is old and might be unable to talk and express their feelings one day. That's what happened to my grandma. She is unable to talk and swallow anymore when stroke hit her.
Don't hesitate anymore. Go back to your hometown and visit your grandparents and the one you love.
PS: Before my grandma pass away, she saw each one of us. So, I think she doesn't have any regrets before she leaves us.
