Klang for Ching Ming !

Went Klang today to PAY respect to my late grandmother. She had left us for about 5 years now. Every year it would be a memorance about her when it comes to ching ming.


It would always be the same. External and Immediate families would come together to pay our respect. It would also be a time for us to recall of those good she had does for any one of us. Thinking the good times we had together as to not forget her due to our busy life schedule.


Being able to get together and spend time with own families just feels good. Talking to each other , trying to up date one another about the current issues that is happening to ones life is what we normally do. This is also the main meaning about ching ming if you really understand it.


But some how, it has been interpreted to a commercial festival where those who sells things for prayers will try to earn more money by creating more unnecessary stuff to provoke people to buy. Ex, Paper made LV(Louis Luitton)Bags which i find it really irrelevant.


This are all for the benefits of themselves. Hoping by giving this things to the deceased , they would gain some thing in return like striking the lotteries.


Its more of benefiting our selves than the deceased.


To me, i think, all this is not necessary. The important thing is that we're there to pay our deepest respect to our beloved ones that's all that matters. And also being together with all family members to try bring closer the bond among our selves.


I never agree in my mom bringing all those food like a bowl of rice, meet , char siu and all. As they all do it for the sick of them self. The typical answer when i question my mom would be "Aiya, never mind lah, we pray pray edi then can eat loh. Save money mah. They eat we also eat together mah. " Trying to change the mind set of theirs would be a million times harder than asking a dog to try eat like a human.


Same goes like them buying those paper made Shoes,Bags, Cars and so on. By buying more, we'll have to burn more, and are we thinking that the weather is still not hot enough? Need to increase the temperature some more?


A simple get together and the most may be some fruits and drinks is all i think that is necessary.



Here's some pictures about it which i thought meaningful.
-Look properly, you might see some cows behind the palm trees-
-This was the worker that took care of part of the cemetery over there-
-This was taken without his notice-
-The worker walking away-
* Att : The reason why I took the picture of the worker is because i find him poor thing. Having to wit stand the temperature and burning sun for just 2 hours for ching ming is nuts, what about him who have to wit stand it the whole day? Why are we complaining and still not contented on what we have?
Would like to express my gratitude towards him ( even thought he might not know ). Here's from the heart , "Thank you so much for taking good care of my Grandmother".
Sadhu , Sadhu , Sadhu.

sUnDay tHe 15th -aPRil 2007

Was forced to wake up to follow my parents to go brickfields temple... I was banned from going any where including SJBA temple but was forced to go to the one in brickfields.... So any way, reluctantly woke up n went... Upon reaching there, i had this feeling of unbelonging ..It gives me a feeling that i no longer feel belonging.... May be its becuz there isn't any one any more that makes me feel like going back... I'm not saying of other people... But my group of friends which we use to be very close back then... But it seems that every one has drift apart ever since every one leave for a year of so called study leave for SPM... Remembering back then we always hang out at out favourite spot with is behind of the pagoda...Thanks to mike becuz he's the one who found out about the place as when we fell like "tuanging" class, we will go there... There's the place we cry, laugh, share problems, share jokes, play all together.... Some how i feel that for every thin...

-LyinG-

I came across some thing very interesting today... And i decided to blog about it... Its happened when i was having my G.P class in college.... We were asked to list down ten points about a certain topic... And the topic i decided to choose was "PEOPLE ENJOY LYING FOR MANY REASONS" They enjoy lying as they would get attention they want from others. They lie just for the sick to be accepted into a group. They lie also to protect themselves from being blamed They also lie for the fun of it. They lie to get others into trouble. They lie to plot a certain scenario. They lie to get sympathy from others. They lie just to back stab. They lie just to create topics to talk. They think that it is cool. It just came to me instantly when i read through the list of question. And i just can't help but to keep writing about all the pros about it... Some how when the person siting next to me asked how i could list so many down.... I briefly answer her that it was because i had experience...

DOGGIE

I shall write about my dog since i have beginning to feel the lost really deep in side.I couldn't let any one c that i was crying. I didn't want to be look as week, n most of all is to avoid attachment. But i realise i failed the minute i cried this morning. I just couldn't take it to see him lying motionless on the floor. Its just so saddening. I wish i did alot for him while he was still here. I could be seen not having any emotion in the out side but i have to say it really hurts inside as i was the closest to him n him to me. He had seen me grew up. Remembering him following me to school in the wee hours just to make sure i reach school safely. Its just so touching looking back then. He would do it without fail ,every morning doing the same routine. Then when come s to secondary, he would follow me for tuition as to assist me there. Making sure every thing was right. I remember clearly there was once when he came attacking one of the guy working at the shop lots nea...
