Grandma hometown: Part 3 -Monday

Monday 23, Time to go home. Before that leaving the place my favorite uncle who is my mother's little brother gave a me a nice present to add to my Radio Control collection. I was surprise to receive a high quality built R/C buggy made fully from cold forged alloy chassis that was made back in the early 80's. Its was a collectors item a TAMIYA SUPER CHAMP. Wow!!! i was excited and thanked my uncle who was a hard core Radio Control enthusiast. I packed my things and head to the airport along with my little sister and 3 cousins who were heading to the same flight destination as i do. I had great times and felt glad that i renew my visits to this place after absent for more than 5 years. Glad to be on tour.

Grandma hometown: Part 2 -Sunday

Sunday 22, Its burial event. 7.30am in the morning still cold and chilling. I didn't take my bath cuz i here you don't smell much, just brush teeth and wash my faces. Taking bath around this hour is like pouring buckets of ice cube over my body. A nice hot natural tea and biscuits for breakfast. Later at 9am we prepare some food to be cooked in mass amount for our incoming guess during lunch time. Food mainly some fresh buffalo meat, rice, vegetables and hot tea. At 10 guess have light morning snacks and then later its time for the burial ceremony where we load the coffin into the truck to be carry over to our native cemetry. There we have the usual departing prayer for our grandma and some ground work to bury the coffin. Its took almost 2 hours under the hot morning sun. By 12pm noon everyone back to my place for mass lunch ceremony and feast on tasty lunch. Being as hungry as horse i munched 6 bowls of crusty beef floss....yummy!! i don't usually have this kind of chances back at my home. Crusty flossed beef is always been my favorite. According to our mother side tradition funeral ceremony last for 14 days which usual activity include night rosary prayers and big dinner for family, relatives and friends.... it means it doesn't end there yet. So lots of work to do for 14 day, Luckily i'm not going to be long enough here to witness the ceremony because i need to go back to my hometown in MIRI and get back to work....that will be on Monday air flight going back home. At 3pm i followed my father to visit my grandmother of my father side which located few kilo's away from another side of the village, Reaching there we were greeted by our still in good shape grandmother and hos loyal furry friend, 2 cats and 2 dogs. I spend few hours in their house minalyb taking bath, snoring during nap, playing with furry friends and enjoy the view on top of the hill. She still the only grandma we have left. By night i have to pack my things, greet goodbye to my relative as i have to go back to the urban side of the town tagged along with my sister so that we could catch early flight next morning. So we stayed at my mother's sister house.

Grandma hometown: Part1 -Saturday

Ok so we know my grandma already went back to our Fathers house in heaven. So i'm sure she's now in peace and happiness in gods house. Amen.
Its been years i haven't gone back to my grandparents hometown in Limbang city, they usually live outskirt of the city far into the green country side where real friendly people live closely in harmony and live under true meaning of helpfull neighbour. I finally went over by plane last Saturday morning for funeral visit and at the same time visits cousins, relative and people who we closely tied as family. From the LIMBANG city took 30 minutes to reach the remote country side by car. As i grew older i pretty like the village where my grandparents live, its so refreshing peaceful and friendly. You dun have to worry about money life, Food and resources is all around us by nature. At my grandparents place by noon we have to prepare some meal for guest to arrive. At night everyone gathers around like big family reunion including close friend and neighbouring villages. Then later we gather for prayer to my grandma and the rest of the night as usually some people will sleep over our house while other elder hangout drunking, laughing and chatting all night until wee morning...its usual life scene nothing to be shocked about. Sleeping in country side is cold and chilling. You don't need air-cond around here. Its all natural with dense wet cold fog surrounding the house. I have to tuck around the corner of the living room cuddle my body as compact as possible to maintain body heat as there's not much blanket to cover myself as there to many room fully crowded with overnite people.

Grandma funeral. Knocking on heavens door.

Sunday is a sad day for everyone, early wee morning we prepare ourself for last view on our grandma before we send her off to the funeral ground. Relative, friends and close neighbours in my grandma's friendly village came over to give comfort and help. By around 10am we did some prayer and then buried her beside her late husband and family whose already left much earlier in the past. My mom and her sister looks very sad but calm to accept such sad departure of their love ones. I did some prayer mine over here. I just hope that she enjoy her new life in her new worl in gods land. She now knocking on heavens door greeted by her long losst love ones. We as her children and great children wishes her happiness and peace high above the heaven. Thanks grandma.

Rest in peace Grandmother

I was in shock when my mom shout for help late midnight at 3am when i got down and saw my long paralyze grandmother have difficulty in breathing..cough out milk from her mouth. Her body tempreature gone very cold. Quickly our family dash her to the hospital but by the time it reached the hospital she was long gone. The only reason the doctor say she was too weak to live because she was too old and there's nothing he can do about it. My mom terrified and cry in tear but in a way she did except the fate. As for me its all in the hand of god. i just share my moments with my other near my grandmother lifeless boy in the emergency room. It was restless night everyone woke up to arrange immediate prayer and funeral for next day.

I'll be leaving for a few days for funeral function so will not be around in the websites and forum.

My grandmother suffer terrible aging sickness which she was half paralyze over her body unvbale to move talk or even eat. Its all feed from the tube, manual grooming and 24hrs care on the bed. On 20th June around 3pm she finally return back to created and return into the arms of her love ones especially to my grandfather. I hope she found eternal happiness, peace and cheerful life in my lord house in the heaven. Rest in Peace Grandma. We always love you and be in our hearts.
