Stock market - 28/12

Prices will drop in near future to even lower level then now since the whole issue of world peace or chaos all over the world from killing to sub-prime loan issue. Like to end in sight in the short term.

So....no point to wade into the market to get screwed....better to have patient to see how the whole situation turns before any reaction from me. Just can't tahan seeing the market's trend
going up then down... it is like what the hell wrong with the whole market.

Friday - 28/12

Man.....:( wah.....already 10 days ago when my old man passed away. During these 10 days period....has gone thru many things eg asking my old man to let go and moved on peacefully and that wasn't a nice thing to do. Anyway...even harder for me to see him suffering to hang-on to dear life is even worst.

The 3 days funeral thing......plus to watch his body being cremated then to pick his ashe and kept them into an urn.

Also watched the share market went down and then up.....and down again when Bhutto was killed, the whole situation became bad. Something I felt bad about as I missed the boat again.

Guess....to trade this kind the market, it takes lot of patients and understanding of how people can react in this condition.

A tiring week

Walan....after the funeral, just have no mood for anything. Tired and angry at the same time.
Tired becoz had to settled almost everything...angry becoz of all the loose talk by the women folks.

Also....missed my honey's pau pau. So addictive hehehe. Also shopping for X'mas gifts and going around to pass out the diaries and gifts before X'mas day itself. Then....went to Mom's grave then back to dad's niche. Running around....can be very tiring and stressful.

Collection of ashes

Went to collect the ashes the next morning at Mandai. One box full of bones.....lots of big ones but the contractor managed to put all into the urn.

After the whole thing....went for lunch with the whole group.

Funeral on Thursday 20/12

The sending off was also well taken care.....under cloudy sky. Lucky the rain stopped at the right time. The mass was at St Anne at 3:30pm....after a short service at the funeral home at the Chruch of Nativity at 2:45 to 3pm.

At 4:15pm we proceeded to Mandai. The recremation was set at 5pm sharp....then went back to the chruch for dinner. Ordered 3 tables....total cost $470, again plenty of nice food to eat and to let the relatives bring home.

Old man - passed away on 18/12/07

Well...at last he passed away peacefully at 9:45am on Tuesday. Same time as my mom's. And with me around together with my family members.

The wake was for 3 days so the funeral was on the following Thursday. Collected a total of $5491 plus RM$700 and expenses at $11916.40. Incurred a deficit of $6425.40 as of now....there still other expenses to take care of later. Eg when mom's remain is removed from her grave to be kept together with my dad's remain in the future.

One thing is for sure....becoz of money, family members can fall out with each other.....in my case is the loose mouths of my elder sisters and sister-in-law. Managed to put them in their places since I caught hold of the gossip early or the whole thing would have end worse off then the relationship would be unmanageable. Another thing is that my old man is not rich...that helps too. Looking back at my aunt's family....the whole family fell apart after my aunt's death due to money....she was rich. Everyone was fighting for a share of the pie. For my dad's case...even since he was poor, there still gossip about money. Eg the collection of white-gold vs expenses, the truth was that my elder sisters somehow mistook the 2 sets of figures. Instead of deficit they thought there was a gain....SHITHEADS. Esp since they were around when the expenese were represented to us for approval by the funeral home representive and chruch. Only when I pointed out to them....then they realised their mistake.

The good part for the whole affair was that the funeral was well taken care of....quite grand and with plenty of foods for everyone.
