The Ripped Soul

This entry is uber late, but i can't really be blamed for it cos I was really busy with my uncle's funeral.

Yes, you heard me right.. my uncle just passed away. 2 days after Christmas. Sigh.. I don't know why, but I felt damn sad when I saw him lying in his box. Don't get me wrong, I know its a funeral and all.. its just that I never really visited him much after I grew up. So i kinda had regrets bout not visiting him before he died. Just seeing him lying there didn't even feel real. When I saw him there, the only question I could ask myself was 'why so soon?' He was such a good man, really, he was. And I'll definetly miss him. He may not have been blood related to me or my mother, but my mom's been friends with his family for over 33 years. And that's a hella long time. And when I was still a tinkle-tot, he and his wife looked after me. And he was like the father I never had. Maybe that explains my tears that fell when his box went in.

Rest In Peace, Uncle Frank. :(

So yeah. Sorry I couldn't turn up at whoever's parties, events, outings, whatever. Just that with the whole funeral going on, I wasn't really in the mood for any festivities. And I didn't really have the time anyway. I was busy running errands for the funeral with my godmother [his only daughter].. and yup.

New year's I spent at his house with his wife and kids. It was a lil retarded.. usually at all the countdowns I've been to, I'd have been jumping around the moment there were fireworks and all.. this year, everyone in the family just sat there in silence and watched the happenings on teevee. What a way to start the new year eh. Sigh..

Anyway, my woes aside..

Happy New Year 2007 one and all, and Adios 2006!

2006 was a bit fun.. but I'm looking forward to a better year. Cheerios!
