well. what a week it's been.

me granny passed on. not too sad about it though, because she's been in and out of hospitals for 2 years or so. lately the doctor gave her a time-frame of some weeks, so i think we all were prepared for this. and if you've seen her you'd understand she must have been fighting and hanging on to be with us a little bit longer. half her insides have either been operated out or not functioning anymore. she's a strong one, we all agree on.

looking at her when she went to sleep for the last time, i'd say she looks rested. like asleep, with a little smile on her mouth. just lovely to be remembered by.

i would say she's the matriach of the family. a lot of her qualities are passed on, even in me. we're all kaki jalan, travellers and happy-go-lucky gallivanters at heart. with not a small dose of stubbornness and righteousness. but always with a smile we approach each other, the fights and arguments in the background.

thanks for making me who i am, my loving, jovial, best-cook-in-the-world grandma,
