The upgrading is driving my mom to nag at us every night. Right now, she is talking to my ex-tutor and complaining about the works. It's really bad, I tell you. The whole place looks like shit now, our temporary toilet is like shit, the workers are doing a shitty job. Sorry for the shit.

Needless to say, I have been in a shitty mood. Tired. Tired. Tired. I need a break. Been working late everyday again and when I come home, I can't even have a moment of peace.



As usual, I was looking around on the bus to work. Saw this lady reading the obituaries section in the newspaper for a long time. Hmm. I used to read that section but someone (I can't remember who) told me not to. He had said "What for? Look at dead people for what?".
Actually I don't understand. Isn't it for others to read if you get something published, even if it's an obituary? Just that people think it's weird to look at them if it doesn't concern you.

There are all sorts of obituaries. Those with old faces. Young faces. Age 90+. Age 2. Big ones for important people. Small ones for remembering those passed on years ago. Some with a lot of love in the words; in the form of psalms. Some others which just have the usual "remembered fondly by all at home". All to remember people who had mattered and still matter to those living.

What kind of obituary would you want to have when you are no longer living?




People forget easily. It can be a good thing or a bad thing.



I am okay. Just feeling tired. I miss my friends.
