A Passing.

I was having lunch with my mates, when dad called up on my mobile. Apparently, a close relative of my father had just passed away in the afternoon, and the body will be laid to rest at Lim Chu Kang at about 4 in the evening.

My family was the first to arrive by car, followed by the majority on the bus. An eerie silence covered the burial grounds, and I had difficulty adjusting to the peace after having screamed at by the bike for much of the journey there. It was my first time attending a funeral in the new burial system, and I was rather impressed by it. The plots are already pre-dug, and pre-fab concrete used extensively to save space (I think).

Alhamdulillah, everything went along just fine, and it was a simple affair.

Although a family member has just passed away, I got to know that my cousin who got married quite recently is pregnant. The old, will have to make way for the new. Death is inevitable.

Rest in peace Nyai Satirah.

Al-Fateha.
