At my uncle's funeral

[pez]

Despite all the gossips within the family, which was to be expected from such a huge family (my dad had 12 brothers and sisters), it went better than expected. I got to meet cousins and nieces I didn't even know or haven't met for 10 years and have forgotten. And I got to see my "brother" - the cousin I sort of know better than the other ones. His GP clinic (?) just opened and we "blew water" and stuff. (oops to the HK phrases)

To those who are wondering, I have 2 "brothers" - Mat, who I just call Big Bro coz he has the same surname as me (we aren't related, he's my age XD) and Simon, the aforementioned cousin, who's 31.

I didn't go look at my uncle...

I've missed one or two funerals within the family whilst I was in UK. The last time I went to a funeral was Eric's, and before that my grandad's. It's not very good that Eric's death took a lot more out of me than my own relatives', but I guess that's because Eric's death was sudden and although I didn't know him too well, he was my classmate. Which sort of brings to mind that I should find out (but how?) where Eric's ashes are and go see it if I can, and burn some incense for him.

Anyway.

Tomorrow we're sending my uncle for cremation and I made Simon promise that he'll take Sheep and I out for dinner or karaoke afterwards to celebrate my graduation. I'm so evil. (although knowing him, he might just worm his way out of this one again...)
