Qingming

Today went to mandai to pray to him. This is the 2nd qingming. Time passes.

As usual, bought the three kind of rice, plus kuay chap. His sister took care of the snacks. Andy and wife came. One of his daughter came. All four of us came.

Writing this so that I remember the sequence. I always can't. 

Qingming is peak so if need to drive, need booking. This year chose 1 day before the peak so that we need not do any booking. There were some others too.

Quickly laid out the food. Din open until all are present. Mum and Y went to Bai di zhu (rem this). 2 fagoh, one for us and one for di zhu. Mum also burn some Jin zhi.

Then we lit the incense and walk up to bring him down to eat. Remember I had to lead the way. Then we took turns. His is row 316, 120.

Then we went down and wait and chit chat. Kuen told me his cousin Stella has cancer and undergoing chemo. Asked me to ask him bopi her. I think if ys know, and if he had the means, he will bopi her. 

Then tried to buay bei to ask him if he finished. I dunno I tend to want to rush as I do not want to chat with any others. Second buay bei then he ok. Maybe next time I will take things easy.

Then after buay bui, burn his stuff first. Next time I will burn myself. Today too much smoke created because the second bag was not burning properly. I remembered when we go bishan, burning was the last. Anyway after that Andy drove us home. 

Had a dull headache, which didn't go away. Took Panadol and slept a bit. Feeling better. Think tmr then I pack for Japan. Tired maybe of heavy menses today.
