white, silver and blue

my ah mah breathed her last on Sunday 8*10*2006, 1430hrs. she went peacefully in a catholic hospice at Thomson.
her coffin now lies at blk 355. it's white, with a few small silver angels. her head and her shoulders were visible beneath the glass. there were stretches of white cloth on three sides, blue light casted on them from the bottom.
clusters of galaxies of relatives / friends came. there was a christian service just now. understandably, they made everyone teary. just like the other time, when it was my grandfather. i escaped it. had rehearsal for the performance tomorrow- hold on, it's today. yah, it took like 3 hours, of which, at least 2 hours was just sitting around waiting for something to happen.
anyway, i believe ah mah was a good person, though i was kinda afraid of her. she was less intimidating during the days when she was plagued with the disease that finally took her life: breast cancer.
cancer. *shudders
found out a few days ago that my friend's mum also has breast cancer. that word sends tingles down my spine.

Recently a lot of my friend's grandparents pass away. It's a bad time of the year, always the period around this timeframe.
