Tomb-Cleaning Day

Dear all, this is a super loooooooong diary of the tomb-cleaning day. Those present that day can skip reading haha... Meant to re-enact the scenes to Dorin and Fang.

Scene 1:
On 7 Apr morning abt 10am, we went to Grandpa's tomb to pay respect during this Qingming period. This year, not "full house", because some of us not in town, some not free.. but got 2 special appearance guests (Laoyi and Laodior) joining us in the prayers. The latter definitely makes the event more lively with his loud "speeches". Anyway, half way thru the prayer at Grandpa's, Ergu uncle "met" with an accident in front of us. He was reversing his car to park, but a "phantom" motorcyclist ram into his car-boot, and the motorcyclist (an old man - 70 plus year old) fell onto the floor together with his bike. Three of our superheros quickly dashed to the rescue, to help to lift up the bike. Imagine needing 3 guys to lift the bike up.. guess the phantom must be very heavy. Then as the old man lifted his head, we got a bad shock,.. his mouth "oozes" blood.. (no la, he's not a ghost!) He was licking his wound on his palm, and thus the mouth was filled with blood. Then wonderwomen went down to offer wet tissues, handiplast, water..etc to clean the wound. He kept apologising that he was not paying attention to the car in front, but was busy looking for 3021, 3021... (PAY ATTENTION: this could be your lucky number!! haha Dorin's dad claimed that on the spot he quickly dialled and bought this number hahaha)... Ergu uncle was very very jingzhang, quickly helped the old man clean the wound, wipe his mouth, and then check his legs, body if got any other injuries. After that, he turned around and squeezed a $50 note to the uncle and asked him to see doctor. The old man kept saying no no, bcos it is all his fault for not noticing the car infront, but uncle insisted.. so the old man finally kept the money and thanked uncle... so ironical, got knocked down still say thank you.. sigh..

Scene 2:
After burning tonnes of money, cigarettes, poker card, mahjong, gold and silver to Grandpa, we proceeded to Grandma's niche. Just minutes after reaching, Ergu uncle once again got into drama Act 2. His back was burnt by joss sticks, quite painful, as he jumped in pain. Then in Act 3, he got bombarded by all our aunties, because he brought up all the wrong food to be set up for prayers to Grandma.. Poor chap.. he then got to bring the stuff down. Anyway, just to summarise, it was just not his day.

Scene 3:
Similarly, having burnt alot alot of money, gold, silver, LV handbag, LV luggage, big bungalow, gorgeous clothes & shoes for Grandma, we proceeded to my dad's niche. Same thing la, prayer, fed the koi fish at the pond, throw coins to ask if my dad had finished eating, if we could "telegraphic transfer" all the money, sports car, gold and house to him.. he said OK, but then just after we have burnt, it started to rain. Every year, same pattern, he always make sure it rained after the ritual.

Scene 4:
Proceeded to Xiaogu place to R&R, while waiting for the remaining guests to arrive.... to play cards. Then Erjie came and brought durian puff, sushi and my presents hahaha.. so nice of her. Erjie gave me a Singapore Mint cowbank.. and everyone wrote their greetings on it for me.. so touching :) Jia meimei gave me a suit of pyjamas. So comfy... but i WASHED it before i wear, usually never wash then wear but now i WILL (u know... just in case... touchwood touchwood!!!!!! if dunno what might happen, pls read my email). Erjie also gave me a colourful nite lamp... supposed to bring add more romantic atmosphere to my room ba hahahaha.. Then i tried and tried... tried and tried to get hold of Dorin but cannot... sad... When finally got hold of her, the internet network zzz.. lag until i gave up. Then it was time to go home... Was so tired, that i could not post any blog that nite.
