there's a wake at the void deck below my house and its been there for a week.. heard that's today's the last day. anyway the point is that they've been here for really long in comparison to the other wakes held downstairs..
everyday as i walk past the wake i hear lots of talking and i see lots of people. they even had an extension into the carpark. i always think the lady who died must be a real matriach (female version of patriach) with 8 children and so many people gathering to see her off. i wonder if i could be a good matriach in my very own way too, reaching out to the people around me and (hopefully) inspiring them.
when i came home just now, the music started playing. and contrary to what i expected, the dead gloomy funeral songs, it was happy-happy-joy-joy chinese music. i opened my window wide to enjoy the music and it felt like a live band was playing right outside my door. (yes, that's how loud it is.) it made me wonder what kind of wake and funeral i'd like to have, what readings i'd like at my funeral mass, what i'd like my friends to wear..
so i'd just like to say here, that when i die, please wear green to my wake and funeral. (:
