Goodbye Grandpa

I was driving back from work the other day when I read my sister's SMS - about my granddad's passing. It has been a frantic day at work, but now my mind's even more frantic thinking about how he left us.

Just. like. that.

I've never been really close to him. In fact, the last time I remember having a proper conversation with him other than the usual "hi's" and "bye's", mostly during Chinese New Year, was when I was five and living in KL.

But I couldn't stop thinking about him, and of course grandma and everyone back home upon hearing the news. I had to go home... Managed to get myself a flight the next night back to KL - just in time to attend the wake and the funeral.

It's been a hectic week - both physically and emotionally for everyone. I'm currently back in Melbourne. To all my friends in KL, I'm sorry I did not inform anyone that I was back... purely cause this time, it wasn't for fun and games. It was to pay my last respect, and to spend quality time with my family... which I did. 

I love every single one of you... very very much! 

Grandpa, I hope you're now in a better place...
