rest in peace unc m

Woke up very very early this morning - talking about last minute study eh?

and the phone rang, was thinking : who could that be that early? sensed that something happened bad home.. but it was darling's mom - got the news that uncle mike (her bro) passed away - cause: unknown - but they are guessing he coughed to dead in his afternoon nap.

after mid term, I spent two hours in some travel agency trying to book a ticket for her to go back - and of coz is all fully booked, after all the alternatives way and with y hard trying - oh believe me when i said "hard" trying, her hair was a messy and she was making phone calls, having two lines at the same time and punching on her keyboard , then! we finally got one that leaves this mid night, seriously when ur so far away, it ll be pretty shitty if anything happen back home.

came home had lunch and nap, ready to go pick up the ticket, but there was problem. which im too lazy to explain here.. 4.30pm, 5pm...6pm...6.30pm... with the clock ticking (dont forget we live on an island and ferry to vancouver is every odd hour).

In that two hours, we saw so many peoples came and left coz she was the only one working, but she ignored and brushed them off - more phone calls, two or maybe three lines at the time, flipping files, raised her voice occasionally (hair even messier) - and when she does that, these three 19 or 20 yrs old kids were laughing and whispering behind her computer screen, which seriously made me wanna slap them!!

one China woman was even worse!! after 30 mins of wait, she just walked up to y n helped herself with the stamp on the table and trying to talk to y when she was on the phone!!! this is what Danny meant - and imagine he is dealing with MILLIONS of them!!

From two ways ticket to one way to rebook which obviously failed, she failed and broke down crying...gosh we felt so bad! she was under lotsa stress and finally lost it. Which we suspected she somehow made some mistake and caused that problem. something bout didnt finalize her purchase according to aunt Jenny..

y was working hard - i bet she was saying prayer when she rested her head on the folder



went to pa and ma, she was all packed and ready to go and she looks trashed with all the crying... goshh geeez i ve grieved so many times great grandma, grandma and grandpa - i was all there and trashed too!

anyway, may uncle mike rest in peace, will bring bah kut teh to your tomb stone when im back next time. Thats good karma for him coz he didnt suffer when he left...
