saying how we will take care of ah ma n thgs b4 she started to cry...
she had been doing that the past few days n so do ah ma...
she will ask thgs like why did ye ye dun want to wake up or ask us... why he left us so suddenly...
it was so sad...
ah ma will walk n look at ye ye b4 she cried loudly... saying words inconherently...
yes i did say i oni slept for 1 hr that nite or rather day...
i was veri tired... there was a few performance n i nearly fell a sleep then...

we boarded the bus after walking for a distance...
we sat in silence in the bus...
then we reached the place where the crematn took place...
then we were told to watch the ceremony at another room...
it was so sad...
everi1 was crying... screaming even my father...
it was so hard to stop the tears frm rolling...

then we went to the temple n prayed b4 gg back to my ah ma's hse...

frm there... the adults had thgs to talk so we were told to go into the room n watched tv...
yes... we watched the scooby doo movie... so funny...
n then we went home...

we reached my ah ma's hse at 8am the nxt day to go to the crematn centre to get the bones n thgs b4 gg to the temple n we prayed there n put the urn there...
then we went back to ah ma's hse...
tis time the younger ones got to watch tv or sleep while the rest of us were busy unfolding n folding the banners...
the adults nid to calculate stuff...

all in all... it was tiring...
emotionally n physically...
