03.13am

Actually slept the past almost 3 hours
Now I feel like eating samyang
I actually was having a good day yesterday
Finished work, went to sentosa to bring chiqa for luge and skyride
Our first time on the new, shorter heighted skyride and chiqa's first time on luge (aka she told me first round must go slowly cause her first time but she ended up zooming past me and winning the race)
We did 3 rounds! Somehow it was tiring having to complete everything within the hour even though we are seated on both the rides so idk where the tiredness comes from
Me the human who never bought attraction photos before bought it today since I told myself chiqo could get anything she wanted (it's her surviving PSLE gift)
Bummer that a lot of attractions are only open on friday and weekends so we couldnt do more
Then headed to vivo to meet mama for grocery shopping and ended up carrying so many plastic bags
Aka me saying how the family must be thankful I called chiqa Big show growing up cause now she's the strongest in the family (she carried 2x large detergent and cooking oil in 1 hand, non stop!!!)
Haha ok bye

Just saw a message that mak ngah saw nenek crying
None of us ever saw nenek cry, ever.
This is heartbreaking

Only good thing about funerals, the reunion of families. But no, i'd rather not
Thank Allah we're all placed in good health that we could come pay our last respects
I dont know if we'll be allowed to view atok but honestly I dont know if im capable of doing it

If we could, we wouldve stayed there as long as possible- I really didnt want to leave so fast but the place was closing
Atok, the atmosphere was so lighthearted like it always has been with you around
I thought I wouldnt cry but seeing your photo was enough to break all our hearts
Your coffin was sealed because you were a covid patient, so we didnt get to see you except in photos
So many fond memories of you were shared by everyone, including how you always won in blackjack (well you also taught us how to cheat- hide the Ace card!)
How you would be annoyed when people are rowdy and loud, except if they were your grandkids (we have special privilege hehe, you tolerated our noise and we are NOISY)
We all have our regrets, most of which was how we failed to spend time with you more often the past few years.
You've always been the one taking care of others
Tonight we found out you have a younger brother who looks exactly like you! He's a lot shorter, though, but the face, especially with the mask on and side profile- it's like seeing you in front of us
We found out you were indeed getting better! And you had a few close calls but you kept fighting, for 23 days.
I'm so so happy you got to hear nenek's voice on the phone. Apparently, one of the video calls session last friday, nenek called your name and you teared up hearing her voice. I wonder if you were thinking about the family, whether we remember you
We wished we could be there for you
We know you miss us all as much as we miss you
I hope you felt our company and love tonight atok even though it was just for a few hours
You brought our families closer together
My heart will forever have a special place for you atok.
I love you, thank you for everything! ♡
