The End and Beginning of Things

The daylight is nearly at an end. Another day has nearly come to an end. Hmm... I learnt a few things about life today. The first is that when you have to go..you have to go... watching Mr. Chew taking his final step into immortality is an eye-opener. I mean..why let your body rot inside the earth when you have it cremated and all the ashes kept in an airconditioned columbarium. Life goes on. One may weep and mourn the passing of a dear one but life still goes one despite the loss. Concerning my students, one class actually kept quiet while I was talking. To me, that was quite meaningful, maybe they have realized the gravity of their situation and have come to remedy any wrong done by omission..anyway..I am grateful. Life goes on. It is another day already..hahahaa..forgot post the blog....anyway..here it is...

Just a Quickie

I never once thought that a burger stall could have a waiting list of nearly an hour. Well..I went to the burger stall opposite the Bukit Beruang Petronas, wanting to sample the supposedly superb burgers there but what did I find? A long line of people waiting there, most obviously also 'tapauing" for their friends...I asked one of the servers whether I could order a cheese burger but he told me.... "Sori Bang..terpaksa tunggu satu jam lebih baru order siap!" I was like..okaaaay...wow...a line to even make McD have a run for the money...perhaps I should try my luck again tomolo night....

Rising to New Life!

Life is transient! Words from a new acquaintance, Mr. Tan from KYS which struck me as being so true and yet so anachronistic: From dust we came to dust we shall return. I know it's kinda Lenty and in season, yet it throws me back to meaning to living life again. I must admit, these last few months I have been rather disoriented. But then again, over the last few weeks, the sudden occurence of so much passing-aways around me has jolted me from my mental tardiness and procrastination. I did not know Mr. Chew that well though I have been handling his students for the last odd eight months as well. His death was a shock to me as well as to the rest of the department at KYS. One wonders as to when the Lord will take us up. Mr. Chew was one really talented arranger.The volume of his arrangements for the school ensemble left me wondering whether I would be up to the task of filling his shoes or not. Hmm....who knows..but then again....there's still the concert to worry about. Enough for now. Need to dress up and attend his wake.
