.dempsey + wake.

some of you may not believe it - it's my first time to dempsey today. hahaha.

my parents and i had our dinner at La Fondue. my dad wanted to have pasta but as the name suggests, the fondues are their specialty. my dad had confused the pasta restaurant with another. Both were "La F-something". haha.

i like the ambience at La Fondue anyway. warm, cosy, music in the background, a mini bar and fondues! good place to chill out [and EAT] with friends. wanted to hold my 21st birthday there BUT, who is going to pay? *hints* haha.

anyway, my parents and i shared a set - caesar salad, cheese fondue, 2 entrees and chocolate fondue. the entrees were chicken meat marinated differently. we chose flat pan grill and cooked the meat ourselves!

my fave part of the meal? dark chocolate with cookies fondue of course! yum. and AHHHHHHHh. i took pictures but i can't find them in my phone! arghs. sorry guys, can't share pictures of good food with you. haha. anyway, we had fun eating and cooking. a great way to bond! haha.

attended a wake after dinner. the mother of my mom's friend's. suffered a relapse and was given 3 mths to live. her family was preparing for her stay at the hospice where she will receive specialised care. she passed away peacefully before anything was finalised. seems like it was her wish to free her family from all troubles and hassles. sounds wrong but it's kinda mystical. it's almost as if one has the power to decide one's death.

oh well. life is a cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death. there's is no choosing - everyone has to traverse this inevitable path of life. i feel life has been good for me so far. i faced problems of course, but they were mostly school related ones. compared to others who landed themselves in jail, in near death situations, having health problems etc..., my problems seemed minuscule. to those who are facing difficulties now: there are people out there who faced much bigger problems and they have pulled through difficult times, so if they can do it, we can absolutely overcome any of our problems too!

sounds kinda morbid but... since life has been pretty good, i should expect that something huge will happen to me sooner or later. i think it would most probably be a health or work-related problem. the thought of something like that happening to me really scares me. i hope by then, i will possess the courage and be fully prepared to take on anything that comes in my way.

haha. this is so emo.
