I was one of the Logteam. When the camp finished, i got another meeting with my partner for training, and met up at MCD. It's great that at KL most places have Wi-Fi. And so i connected to my FB and i got one message from my Mother, she informed that my Grand Mother just passed away... I book air tickets for the next day to fly back to Medan.
I arrived to medan at 6pm and went straight to Siantar, where my grandmother funeral will be held. When i arrived, she was already covered.
My Grandmother Altar
On the 2nd day, the coffins arrived and it's time to put grandma inside. In the afternoon around 1-2pm, most of the relatives read mantra together. It's a very emotional ceremony, memories of me with my grandma pass through my mind. It's like all your past was shown to you at once. The Happy, sad and angry memories...
These ceremony remind me that these will be the last memories of me with my grandma. There won't be any nagging, smile, tears from her to me. She's now on the land which is out of our reach, our voice and our sight. Only our prayers would reach her now.

Her funeral was held at Yayasan Bahkti Kesejahteraan Sosial at Pematang siantar.
Everyday we had to recite mantra for her 3x a day, and my grandma was blessed... Many people came to read mantra for her, we got people from Batam, Medan, Tjg balai, and the Local.
Through out the whole ceremony we had to continuously burn iccense for our grandma.

She was planned to be buried on 20th November, it was a Saturday. On the last day, we had a marching band that came and play us music for the day.
The burial was set and so it's time for us to give our final respect to her...
Her final resting place
Surrounded by her family, She finally left us for her eternal rest. I'm sure she love her final resting place, because it was right beside her husband, my grandpa and it was surrounded with beautiful landscape.
We will always love you and remember you grandma...
Goodbye...
