Life is Short

Today is a beautiful day, cloudy, quite as always, and a bit cold. I had planed to treat Loon's Pizza and a cake since today is his birthday, by sharing with Siang since he is sleeping due to late night work yesterday. Unfortunately, Siang woke up and came into my room at 3pm with phone in his hand, tears in his eyes and a snoozing nose, 'my grandma just passed away, I will go back tonight by train and come back on Monday morning'.

Life is unpredictable, does not move in a straight line. My condolences for Siang's grandma. 

This is the kind of calls that I would not wish to be taken, it pulls you far far away, which life is short meaning really is. I have a grandma and grandpa, who living in my home town. They are in early 80s. Just recently my grandma undergo a surgery on her knees due to severe pain of bones rubbing together. This is because when she was young, she have to cycle a long distance of journey to get to work, everyday for many years. While family condition just enough for living, no supplements was taken and all is given to the children as parents did. That had causes some severe consequences. 

My Grandpa, Grandma and I in 1989, I'm the first child in the family, I came, I saw, I conquered.

I think, no matter who, received a call like this will get into emotional. I wonder what I will be if it happens to me, my grandma who I lived for since I was born for the past 19 years before I left her and came to South to pursue my educations and careers.

I have to cancel all my plan, fetching Siang to LCCT to catch a bus to KL Sentral at 7pm.
Update: Siang postpone his travel period.
