My grandma passed away at 12:30pm today. I am sad but relieved because her final years have not been the best – she had been bed-ridden and she suffered from pains and aches everywhere, and was coughing a lot. Now she’s free from her mortal coils and for that alone we are glad.
I will be flying off to Singapore tonight and then up to Penang a couple of hours later. The funeral should be in 2-3 days. After that, I might spend another day in Penang before flying down to Singapore to rejoin Tham and Kayo.
I’ll be returning to Perth on the 17th. I hope to have some stories and photos to share then. In the mean time, I leave you with Ferris Bueller’s classic words about living every day appreciating the people and the simple pleasures in your life.

I’m sorry to hear about your grandma. At least she’s not in pain anymore, but I know that doesn’t make it easier.
I echo the sentiments of other commentators -sorry to hear about that…
Looking on the bright side, at least Snoop’s got a place to go and you didn’t have to mess about with last minute travel arrangements too much..not that it’s a comfort!
Thanks for the kind words and well wishs guys! Much appreciated. The family is at peace and we all managed to laugh a lot at a family gathering last night. This has in turn made me a little more at ease.
I send my condolences too.
