continue.. from the previous post..

continue from what i left off..this evening went for the 2nd day of the wake.. lots of happenings things..
today (sat) reached the wake around 6.30pm like that.. was feeling abit tired coz of the bible study miscommunication breakdown.. was traveling here and there..

my sisters and i immediately helped out with the folding of prayers papers... untill the first prayer meeting starts at 7pm and every children and grand-children of my grandma were asked to go forward to sit and pray with the joss-sticks on.. it lasts around 20mins and we went back to fold the papers..

while we were folding the papers, we realised that the ppl who came got more and more.. too much that there were no seats for them to sit and food for them to eat..

we then realised at 10pm that it's becoz there were my uncle's past under society members pray respect to our grandma by bowing thrice together infront of her tablet...indeed i felt quite honoured but was abit scared at the same time since there were like nearly 100 ppl there.. and most of them looks not that friendly.. :"(

after that, the priest went on to ask us to bring the folding papers and houses, cars... to the burning site to burn.. these paper incenses just gone into ashes in less than 5mins time.. but i heard that they were expensive since not much ppl here knows and are still doing these paper incenses and properties for the dead.. well i really respect them and hope that this unique culture will still be remained in Singapore in the future

after praying, we have an early off instructed by our dad.. the ppl in the car are my 3 sisters and my elder sister in law and me.. we were talking about the early history of my grandmother.. discussing how fortunate she was.. married to a rich husband (according to my mum> my sister) so really felt light-hearted after hearing that..after marriage, she didn't really have to go out to work.. that's really how rich my grandpa was.. then after that, their children are also very filial.. really how fortunate can this be. A nice family with few heartwarming kids born and live happily ever.. this is really what i want and wish to have..how about u?

(live with the fullest, not with ANY regrets!)
