gloom.
i had all these excitement and stories in my head soon after my return from london. i had a lot to share and with pics to back them up. then i heard about my good friend's grandma's passing. and that's only about a month after the passing of her dad. then days later, my grand-aunt was rushed into ER. she was unconscious for few days. went to visit her on monday and was told she finally managed to open her eyes a bit but was unaware of her surrounding and then went back to sleep. until now. it was said that she could very well be in a coma if her condition doesn't improve.
despite the initial jolt of excitement upon returning from london, now all that eagerness has gone. no longer i have the inkling to say anything remotely happy. not under these circumstances. i haven't even shared my pics to my family. it just doesn't seem to be a good idea. not when everyone is feeling gloomy. i have sorted out all of my pics, but somehow i can't think of a word to say about them. maybe not for sometime.

I am sorry for all your loses and concerns. You post the photos when you are ready. Maybe the family does need to hear some joyful news from someone?
Life goes on brother Rudy!
Hug! Condolence . It is sad to hear the bad news. Life take many unexpected turns at the wrong time sometimes. Hope your aunt will get better soon.
Just like a game of cards, fate will deal you a bad card sometimes. Cope with it, and post your trip photos, you should enjoy your moments!
I hope your aunt will get back consciousness.
Stay strong and focused on what is important Rudy. I'm sorry to hear of the terrible news that faced you as you returned to London, but this too shall pass and hopefully be resolved soon.
Sorry to hear about all these bad news. I hope you will see light at the end of the tunnel soon.
I'm sorry to hear of this, Rudy - especially for your friend who has had to face two deaths.
i am sorry Rudy. *hug*
@vsan79 - @stepaside_loser - @beowulf222 - @AzureRecollections - @CurryPuffy - @stevew918 - @The_Eyes_Of_A_Painter - @Fatcat723 - thanks guys. so far, none in the family have asked for my pics. my grand-aunt still in the hospital, though. and yeah, i feel sorry for my friend who has lost both of her dad and grand-ma in such a short period of time. she is the eldest in the family and so she is responsible to support her mother, while still trying to run her little business with a couple of employees. please pray for her. she needs it more than i do. thanks for your support, fellas.
Rudy, I am so sorry for what you and your family is going through. Perhaps you can spread some cheer by having every one come over and say there is going to be a picture show, so for an hour or so every one will be looking at happier things and forget that they are sad.
I want to thank you for the wonderful and kind comment you left on my post. Blessings and hugs.
My condolences Rudy!
@ZSA_MD - i think i can show them pics after new year. it's a celebratory time of the year anyways. i just hope she gets better soon. and no, thank YOU for your posts. your words always seem to manage to ease people's hearts at the appropriate time.
@brooklyn2028 - thank you. my friend is in a much better mood this week. but my grand-aunt still lying in hospital bed. hoping for things to get better come 2012.
Well, you're a very empathic person. I know how it is, it's a blessing and a curse.
@DivaJyoti - thanks jyoti. n also for stopping by to read my post.
Sorry to hear all the bad news. *Hugs*
Getting to this late but am sorry to hear that sad circumstances greeted your return. Perhaps a little cheer and photos of your trip abroad will provide relatives with some needed distraction?
Oh Rudy... sorry to hear about all the difficult and sad news. When you're feeling a bit better, try to take some time to reminisce about your vacation. *hugs*
@RestlessButterfly - thank you. i really appreciate that.
@christao408 - @ElusiveWords - i want to share my london experience, just not sure where to start. until i know what to say, i won't know which pics i should upload and say something about.
Me, my parents and my nieces gonna fly to Bandung, Indonesia on 14-January to 17 January 2012 for short vacation, but we are a bit worried and not sure either we should go or not... we heard from the TV and read from the newspapers that Malaysian people are not so likeable in Indonesia right now. We kinda worried about our safety.
@RestlessButterfly - i have just asked a local friend who lives in bandung and she was surprised at your comment. she said that there are tons of malaysian tourists in bandung and she never heard of anything negative there.
it could be certain individuals negative experience that may have turned into a stereotype and thought that all malaysians may not be welcomed in bandung or indonesia, especially considering past negative news on indonesia-malaysia relationship that brought fear to many malaysians in regard to visiting indonesia. i doubt you should have anything to be worried about. do you happened to have a local friend whom can take you guys around? or make recommendations for places to go so you'll have a better experience?
ps: i have just returned from bandung last weekend. and have friends from KL who are coming next week to jakarta and to visit bandung also.
@rudyhou - Thanks for the explanation. I've been visited Jakarta and Bandung before - a brief visit on business - last year, and yes I have a contact person in Bandung, should be no problem for us.
@RestlessButterfly - good good. hope you'll have a pleasant trip with your family in january.
