Finally get my hands on blogging a little today! LOL!
Have been busy since last week.
Last Friday which was a Public Holiday, woke up at the usual timing (6am).
Drove home and took dad's car and off to 'visit' our granddad for early Qing Ming.
Heres a little about what we do during Qing ming (okay, I took all this from wiki) haha!,
'The Qingming Festival is an opportunity for celebrants to remember and honour their ancestors at grave sites. Young and old pray before the ancestors, sweep the tombs and offer food, tea, wine, chopsticks, joss paper accessories, and/or libations to the ancestors. The rites have a long tradition in Asia, especially among farmers. Some people carry willow branches with them on Qingming, or put willow branches on their gates and/or front doors. They believe that willow branches help ward off the evil spirit that wanders on Qingming.'
But in short, chinese will head down to the respective places to 'visit' their relatives or friends during this period, to help them to change the flowers and clean their tomb.
This year was slightly different, my uncles were at first planning to head down only at abt 10am in the morning, but because my dad gotta head back to his office to continue with his projects, so we set off early this year. Reached at around 7am, and over there was like already filled with people.
After we did all the necessary stuff, dad drove us home and off the boyfriend and I head down to 'visit' his grandma. But we never realised that the place was so packed that we had no place for our cars to park! LOL! So we had no choice but to park at some multistorey carpark which is like 4 traffic lights away. So we had to walk in in that hot weather. But oh well, i shall treat that as a good exercise LOL!
After all this visiting, we headed down to Clarke Quay, oh yea, early in the morning, 11am!
Check out the view at Clarky Quay! It was pretty relaxing, except the fact that we got no idea what we could do in such early hours LOL. But anyway, I bought an Paul Frank Umbrella from deal.com. And I was there to collect it.
This time round, I'll have the bf to drive! Since he has just gotten his driving license like 1 month ago ! hahah! he needs training doesnt he?
So a picture of myself (In case you guys miss me =D)
