Grandpa's departure. . .
18th Oct 2010 - Small aunt called at around 3pm. In the less than a min call, I couldn't get much details but the message was clear. Gpa had an accident. He has left us. The fact has not yet even fully registered in my mind. All I know is I have to inform the rest of my family members. 7pm, we (Mum, Qiqi, Shannon, Xiong & 1st aunt) left Sg with heavy hearts for our hometown, Batu Pahat. "Do not cry. Some stuff has not been settled yet." came small aunt's sms while we are around 1/2 an hr away from home. Gpa's body was placed in the living room. He looks like he was sleeping. There was a long stitch horizontally across his head, blue black at the centre of his forehead, slight scratches on his face & right side of forehead dented. At 1st, we thought his head cracked upon landing head down. Nope, the pathologist opened his skull to examine & to confirm he passed away due to head injuries. Isn't it very obvious with the dented forehead? But well, all...
