Hey all.

I think I'm going to at least try to write something here, since quite a lot happened this week.

Birthday celebration was awesome. Thanks for the company, surprises, the lovely gifts and greetings. I really appreciate it. Anyway, dinner with the family, somehow I felt we were all getting so much closer, so much bonded. The feeling's intangible. People asked, "So how does it feel being 17?". I answered, "I feel old. Can't you tell I'm already struggling with self image?" Whatever it is, enjoy your youth.

So.. this 17th birthday, it went rather smoothly. But, it was a real shocker to me, when Mummy told me that my GrandUncle passed away on the day itself, in the morning. I couldn't help but hold back my tears. Though, the family and I visits him and his wife only on New Year's day, I still felt this close relationship with them. They never fail to make us feel welcome, and they always treated us like we're their own children. We never took any pictures together, but that Lee Hwa necklace and woodpecker display stand, will always remind me of him, keeping him near my heart.

Sorry for the mood swings and whatnot, recently. The past two days, we were down at Holy Spirit Oratory, Church of the Holy Spirit, for the funeral. Just today, we proceeded to Mandai Crematorium, for the cremation. I'm starting to miss him already. If only we visited him more often. Whatever it is, I'll make time to drop by the church to 'visit' him. Note to all: Please learn to cherish your loved ones, now that they're still with you. Anyway, thanks WeiShan for the listening ear and the encouragment. <3

This weekend, my schedule's tight. Sorry if I cancelled some 'dates'. I'll replaced it on another day. Alright, I better get going. Take care. Be safe. X
