Grandma Wake
Some stuffs discovered during grandma wake.-Cousins that I seldom meet came to gather..just like old times when we were young. Alot of catching up to do.
-Uncles which I seldom talk to decide that we are older,more mature and trust us to do stuffs assigned to us well.
-The wake is held at Ang Mo Kio, the place where I lived in when I was small..because my parents were still renting flat when I was born and I lived with my grandparents. It has been 13 long years since I last went back to the estate because my uncle moved away. Going back to the place brought back many memories I had when I was small. Eg, the barber shop which my parents dragged me to cut my hair and I always end up crying badly is gone. However, the swimming complex where I learned how to swim is still there.
-Today is my first time chanting buddhist scriptures together with my uncles, aunties, cousins and monks to help grandma achieve nirvana.
-All my relatives remarked Celin is very pretty and how come she is not my girlfriend...for goodness sake.
-Uncle told me about a little history of the family. About my late grandfather etc..
-That I am able to last thru the night guarding the wake surviving on folding paper silver ingots for grandma.
