Oppressed October

October has been an absolutely f&*ked up month.  This is the worst of all months so far in 2020.  I'm still reeling from how 婆婆 left us so suddenly, earlier this month with us having no chance to bid her a proper farewell.  I tried to find some peace by reading an old book: "The Art of Living" by Dalai Lama.  I've had this book since the last year of my NTU days.  And I thought this is quite an appropriate time to read it again.

The Art of Living - Galaxy Note 9

Dear 婆婆

Dear 婆婆, it's still such a shock...  you left us on Monday morning...  I don't know what to make of it.  And in such a time when travel is almost impossible, we couldn't go and bid you farewell for the very last time.  It is so frustrating to be stuck here with no chance to say goodbye to you at all.
