If I Were To Die, I Want You To Follow This: 1st Draft
I know this sounds awfully morbid but being an urban young chinese the word 'pantang' doesn't come near to me. I don't see why people fear death so much. I am not fond of funearals but I don't mind myself dying. Its a natural thing, you were born and now you'll die.
Attending a funeral recently had my family talking and it came to me that I actually want to plan my own funeral. I don't see anything wrong in it. Its part of life and why not make use of it. Ok, fine I am obsessed with personalising stuff. Yes, even my own funeral.
Now lets get started,
1. Anyone who comes near my coffin MUST wear colourful clothes. Try not to wear the mourning colours. Wear as much and as bright and happy colours as possible.
2. I want my poetry to be compiled into a booklet and is given as a gift to those who come visit.
3. I want my paintings to be put up so when they run out of topic they can talk about me. hahaha
4. I want a slideshow of photos to be playing, especially of the good times I had.
5. I want a guess book made of big art block and there would be colour pencils and SHARPIES! So people can doodle on it.
6. Worship songs should be playing all day round. Haven't had a list though...
7. People should be served with happy food and happy drinks, there should be BUBBLEGUMS, LOLLIPOPS, and COLOURFUL SWEETS.
8. Sing Happy Birthday to mark my second birth with the Lord.
9. Throw a party after my cremation!
I am serious about this. I want my funeral like that. I know that dying makes people sad but why put more sadness to it? We should spread some joy and have fun with me 'the physical' before I turn into compost and ashes. Its the way to pay your last respect to me.
So make sure this is done for me. Else, I'll probably haunt you. Hehehe...

Sounds like a fun funeral ... and I think they should be so. Such great ideas ... I must curi lah!
Tunku Halim - Hahaha! Go ahead! Well since we'll be off to a better place after we die, it should be more of a celebration more than mourning.
