Sad moment.

Headed to the hospital today to visit grandaunt. But before that, I went to The Central to buy some Sticky for Megan. It was my first time going there. Argh. It was kind of difficult to find the shop. Well, at first, I expected the shop to be sorta big, like other candy shops (Candy Empire, etc) However, to my dismay, it turned out to be quite small. The sweets are placed outside, and the whole factory took up most of the space.
Lesson learnt. :D Guess I'll have to pre-order online first cus that will be much much easier.
Another sad moment in the hospital. Argh. :(
Grandaunt was really sick and helpless. She was quite stubborn at first, cus she refused to take her medicine when the nurse fed her. She finally did, after much persuasion by her beloved sister. Grandaunt was unable to eat nor drink too much water cus her windpipes are clogged. The doctor and her daughters warned not to give her so much water cus she will have a high chance of contracting pneumonia, a fatal disease in the lungs and she might choked as her windpipes are clogged. But... what saddens me the most is that she kept on pleading for water. Her faint voice was asking for water as she was so dehydrated and her throat was dry. Her beloved sister could not bear seeing her helplessly asking for water. In the end, my grandmother gave in and gave her some water from the cup and fed her through the sponge with a tube attached to it. My mother told her to be strong and look on the bright side. She nodded in acknowledgement. I watched as my grandmother wiped her teary eyes, sister-love. They went through all odds together since young. They did everything together, vacation, same clothing designs. It is sweet, seeing them talking and bragging about their children and grand-children. & most of all, their everyday life. But.. that was all in the past.
I've realized the importance of life. The people around you, especially your loved ones, they're significant too. (:
