these days seems like an "in" word for me. what stars really do? stars shine.
and it seems like everyone is a star. we touch the lives of our friends and love ones cos we shine upon them. they shine our life as well.
"the challenges are high, the dreams are new. dare to dream. dare to try. no goal is too distant. no star is too high. just get going."
i would consider myself as a superstar! hahaha. what star are you?

Jerry Ong
is been a long time since i cry.
These few days i was in the wake of my grandpa, Jerry Ong. he was a catholic. church members, priest and relatives gathered everyday to pray for my grandpa.
and today was the funeral itself. we walk a distance with my grandpa before we proceed to the church to pray for him. soon after, we were at mandai awaiting for the cremation. as we present him flowers on his coffin and take a look at him one last time. tears gathered rapidly around my eyes. there was this sudden sadness fill within me. "this is the last time i going to see him" i thought to myself.
as he was push into cremation. my uncle and aunt, my cousins and sister, my dad and i couldnt hold our tears as we all begin to cry. that point of time, i truly felt and understand how is it to lose someone dearly.
"the best and most beautiful things in life cannot be seen, not touched, but are felt in the heart." - helen keller, 1880-1968
it wasnt a good feeling. as we went back after the ceremony. i couldnt stop thinking. my tears couldnt stop. i couldnt stop wondering: "have i treat my love ones good enough and with respect when they are still alive.."

fifteen of march, two thousand and nine
marks a very special day.
Both Jerry and Desmond were favoured by the God and have began a new yet different journey.
2am in that morning, soon after i have prepared my clothes for my cousin, Desmond's ROM later that day and just ended a msn chat with someone that has shaken me, my dad's phone rang. it was my uncle who called. my dad and i knew what the call is about. our suspicions were confirmed after picking up the call. Jerry has pass away.
Jerry died with a smile on his face after defying death so long. he fulfiled his final wishes; to see his new granddaughter-in-law and all his children. i guess it was a relief for Jerry after living with half stroke for 6 years and recently, diagnosed with terminal stage of stomach cancer.
Jerry lived til a ripe old age of 85. he was a man who grabs every opportunity and live life to the fullest..
at the same time. i am wondering about myself, having missing countless opportunities as i'm afraid to pursue it. what does living means to me?
i know i need the girl that has shaken me up. how?
