Went to Yishun ah ma's wake with Daddy, Granny and Cuiwen, paid our respect and took a look at her lying peacefully inside the coffin. We smiled because she pass on peacefully in her sleep without any sufferings. But, she looks different to me compared to the last time I saw her. She is so thin and petite, Uncle Small still can told us jokingly that her遗照looks like the late Anita Mui, -_-" which we agreed. The photo of her is when she was in her younger days.

After we paid our respect, Uncle Small immediately point to Zachary, telling me he's all grown up. Backtrack to Uncle and Aunty Small's wedding day where I was their flower girl and that Zachary was their page boy. Then Aunty Small actually brought him over to our table and telling him I was the flower girl, how embrarassing! All thanks to Cuiwen and Sissy who reminded Aunty Small. Damn it! And keep on teasing me about holding hands and what not. Hello! that was so many years back and I don't even remember that we held hands and even if we did is because we need to. That was the only time we saw each other, and I'm only like three years old then. Gosh! LOL.

When Uncle Small was talking to us, I was observing his eyes and facial expressions, was rather afraid he will cry in front of us especially when he was talking about Yishun ah ma. Although he keep joking around with us but I could feel the hurt that was inside him, the pain of losing a love one, moreover is someone he loves dearly, someone that can never be replaced, his mother.

I'm not sure if I can say this but the bee hoon and curry was delicious, or maybe because I was hungry. I don't know why I feel sorry for the Uncle who came to clear the buffet stuffs, because he still need to work at late hours, alone.

We took a look at Yishun ah ma before we left. Went back to Granny's house because I need to bring iKssy home. Uncle Beng is so funny.

Will be going to the wake again tomorrow, iKssy will be left in Mummy's and Aunty Mama's care just like today. Mummy volunteered to look after iKssy for me and told me to go to the wake again tomorrow. Not sure if Aunty Mama is going.

Saturday will be the last day of the wake, sending Yishun ah ma off her last journey of life. It's a pity that I will not be able (how I wish I could) to send her off because I need to look after iKssy. But sincerely hope that she will live well in another world.

I feel so heartbroken to see Uncle Small trying to put on a strong front when actually he's hurting deep inside. I feel sad that Yishun ah ma had pass on.

No matter how strong or tough a man is, there is still a soft spot in him.
