School Started, Miss My Grandma and New Zealand

 

Well school started on August 27th and I went in early. I don't quite like how the school is ran to be honest, classes are extremely conservative and seems the school's administration is very complicated. Unlike the US, if you have to do a certain thing, all you have to do is just go through one department and you will be all set. With HKIEd however, it is a completely different story. You have to go through 3 to 4 departments to get the right answer and the right procedure done. Just plain crazy.

Sadly, my grandmother passed away that very morning that I went to school. I didn't find out until the night I got home. My parents and my brother didn't want to tell me until I got back. I was so torn up on the inside when I found out. I called up a few friends, supposely wanted to hang out, because I feel so bad that night, but I cried so much at the last moment my eyes were swelling so bad, Ki was actually on his way to his NT home and even called me to come out, because he knows I rarely sound demotivated and upset, except those times when he lived with me and I was going through some problem with my ex at the time. I cried so many times since she passed away to yesterday when we buried her. My grandma loved us so much. When I was at the funeral home, I tried to put on a smile. But it was really hard for me, Chris and Kelvin came over and help taking care of guests, which I thanked them for.

I missed my grandmother so much, I didn't press the button. But my brother did, as soon as he pressed it, I balled my eyes out. I cried so bad that my body was shaking, that was probably the first time I was like this. My grandmother was the strongest woman I have ever known. He came through a lot of shit during all those years, and she was always so damn proud of me and my brother, the only grandsons of hers. She lived through to the time I got my BA in Marketing. But the thing I feel so sad about is, when I get this degree, she won't be there taking a picture with me.

The good thing is, when my grandmother passed away, she was in such a peaceful state. So at least she didn't have to suffer anything. At 92, she saw a lot around the world, and she would definitely show you who was the boss. My grandma would say the funniest shit, and she loved to eat. She was probably the only old person I know who could eat so much. One thing for sure, I know she is in a good place with all her Ma Jong buddies.

Well I will be heading to New Zealand for 6 weeks in November to December. I guess it is good, since I get to clear my mind a little. With everything that has been going on, I need to clear my head a bit, I will be back in time for Christmas though, so that should be nice. A few weeks before my bday, I don't even know what I am gonna do yet, but in time, I sure will know.
