both my hands stil ached.it was worse than the usual muscle aches i got when i played basketball
the cause of it: WII.
reached cck cemetry even before the sun rise.
the mood was horrendous...
it started off w my dad cursing abuses at all of us,
cos we missed the entrance..
and by detouring,
it took up way too much of our time
since we had to requeue in the traffic jam.
then we couldnt find the grave.
and that sparked off another round of bickering.
really.
PEOPLE WHO HAVEN GONE TO PAY THEIR OFFERINGS:
please please please do these:
1. ENSURE YOUR PLASTIC BAGS AND OFFERINGS ARE LABELLED AND DO NOT MIX THEM UP ESPECIALLY IF U VISITING MORE THAN 1 RELATIVE
2. ENSURE U KNOW THE FREAKING NUMBER ON THE GRAVETOMB COS U ONLY VISIT THERE ONCE A YEAR AND MOSTLY LIKELY U WILL FORGET
3. U HAVE TO STICK UR HAND OUT OF THE CAR WINDOW AND WAVE FRANTICALLY BUT SMILE EARNESTLY TO CUT QUEUE TO AVOID THE TRAFFIC JAM
4. VISIT THE TOILET BEFORE U MAKE ANY CEMETRY TRIPS COS U GONA WALK A WHOLE STRETCH OF TOMBS TO REACH THE DESTINATION
5.BRING UV PROTECTION LOTION AND A MASK. A MASK!! COS WHEN YOU BURN THE OFFERINGS,
I SWEAR THE FIRE'S GONNA DISFIGURE YOU.
6.BRING LOTS OF TISSUE COS U NEED IT WHEN U EAT THE OILY DUCK AFTER OFFERING, OR U NEED IT TO WIPE DUSTY DIRTY ALGAE-Y SURFACES
7. IT'S TOUGH FINDING A PARKING SPACE SO U PROLLY NEED A SUDOKU PUZZLE
and i fell into deep sleep THRICE in the comfy backseat,
cramped in the backseats with my brother, aunite, and cousin,
hugging bags of folded incense papers as my pillow.
oh wow, tombsweeping is so fun. enjoy ya.
