Diaryland writing prompt: What did you keep returning to in your mind? I’ll change it to ‘do’. The memory of Dad. It has been almost two and a half years since he left us. I still miss him every day. I still remember sitting in the car, on the phone with his doctor. The doctor breaking the news that she…

keeping yourself covered adequately
Some time last month, I wrote an entry about taking care of your health and keeping yourself covered with medical insurance. I cannot stress how important it is to make sure that you and your loved ones (especially if you have ageing parents) are adequately covered. Up until the day I moved out of the family home, my dad has been…
quick updates
Went to the birdpark on Wednesday with KS and family. Erm…when was the last time I went there? When I was in primary school? School excursions and consent forms…nostalgic. Anyway, I think I enjoyed the penguins and owls *pictures meowzy here* the most. I also learnt that the boy attracts birds (and bird poop for that matter) because a lorikeet…

the lord is my shepherd
“The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.” This verse will hold a lot of meaning from now on. It was sung as a hymn at my grandma’s funeral, it is set in stone at my grandma’s resting place. Mum told me when grandma was in the hospital, one day out of the blue, she just started…
and she went with the wind
Grandma was cremated yesterday. It was too surreal. I try hard to search my mind for all the memories to hold on tight to. In a way, it was less cruel to see her coffin move slowly towards the fire because they hid it from view. My paternal grandma’s cremation was manual and when they opened the huge oven, I…
my take on god and christians
Please don’t read this if you’re going to take offense with what I’m going to say. I understand that religion is a sensitive topic.
a meaningful valentine’s day
Happy Valentine’s Day. Today has never been more meaningful. It is my first Valentine’s Day being attached to someone. Although Deary hasn’t prepared any surprises…and he’s sick. Not very sick, but he’s avoiding spicy or fried food. So, looks like our plan of eating at Woorigib is not possible. Moreover, we both know that we have homework and stuff to…
memories of grandma
One year ago, I felt what it’s really like to lose someone. Sis has always been wondering why I’m so emotionless. Yes, even I surprised myself when I could not control my tears. They were tears of guilt. Up till the day you left us, I was complaining about you. I do not take back what I felt because you…
walking through a dream
Weather’s been a little crazy. Right now it’s raining heavily. Although back home, thunder and lightning is common when it rains, if you hear thunder here, it’s surprising. The rain is so bad that the roof is leaking at my dorm. Well, at least not outside my room, a few doors down. Yesterday, it was pretty foggy. Like as if someone just poured…
