It was the first wake I have ever attended in my whole 25 years and I hope I do not have to attend any wake in the near future. I don't know why, but I felt so sad at the wake even though I do not know the person personally. Death is a sad thing as all come to an end. I attended the wake of my ex-boss's mother last night and she has died at home due to old age. People said it's a peaceful way to leave and she had lived a good life with many grand children. I understand that people have to die someday, but I think it's tough to get over a death of someone dear. Thinking back, I have killed so many ants...will their families feel sad for them too? I could never stand insects roaming around my personal areas, so I will definitely get rid of them if they appear in front of me while I'm working or at home. I admit I am not a saint, but if I'm walking on the public area, I will definitely try to avoid killing them, unless they try to stick onto me or suck my blood. I hope my grand father didn't mind me not attending his funeral, which was held in M'sia years ago...
I brought home a red pack of coin from the wake and have kept it in my office drawer today. I heard it's for good luck. Some told me that I have to spend the money wrapped inside the red paper and one told me to keep it. I tried to search online to answer the question on whether to keep or to spend, but couldn't find anything related to it. Do anyone know what I should do with it?
I added in my name to CDAC ad-hoc volunteer base today and I managed to get three kind colleagues to add in their names too. I heard that doing good deeds would bring good luck. I do not have much money to donate to charities, as I have too many things on my wish list and too many bills to pay monthly, but I could contribute some of my time to help others. However, I realized that I could be really fussy - no cleaning chores as I hate insects. I hope I still could help in other ways beside money and that.
