A Tiring Weekend

Went 'tomb-sweeping' for my maternal grandparents on Saturday. This is a yearly event for me and my families. We will always decide on 1 day and the whole gang will go to my 阿公 and 阿嬷 cemeteries to pay our respects to them. In recent years, it has became quite 'exaggerating' such that there were 3 SUV and 1 Saloon cars setting off. Hahaha...

It's always the same routine through the years but we cousins will always be there without fail, unless we are busy. We will go to my 阿公's tomb first. Climb down the mini slope, stand on the limited leg space available, be careful not to disturb the other neighbours of my 阿公. Wait for our parents to clean the tomb, prepare the offerings that we brought there for 阿公. Then do our prayers to 阿公. After burning the incense papers, we will proceed to 阿嬷's tomb which is a stone throw away. 阿嬷's tomb is located at condominium equivalent estate so moving about is definitely much easier.

After the 'tomb-sweeping', we proceed to my Ah-Khim's place to eat, gather and had a couple rounds of mahjong. Finished quite early. Then my sis and Jayden home and U-turn back for midnight mahjong. By the time we finished, it was about 4am but I think I only managed to sleep at 5am.

Woke up at 11am today as I need to go back to my sis's place to pick her and Jayden up to send Jayden to visit his Granny. After dropping Jayden off, my sis and I went to CCK Lot 1 for lunch and some shopping. Bought a pair of shoes which I really like, especially the heels, and the best thing is it's cheap... like $29.90!!


Picked Jayden up at 3pm and went over to my 四姨's place for a few hours. Din stay too long cos was really tired. Went home with my sis and Jayden at about 6pm. Both of us was juggling 6 big bags plus Jayden between us. I'm so impressed of both of us. Hahaha...

Oh... so happy also. I received 2 birthday pressies from my cousins, Diana and Nicole. I love both pressies loads. Show you and you will know why... :P

A snake with ingot gold pendant from Cousin Diana. Look at the snake... Isn't it cute? I wouldn't know how to appreciate this last time but as one gets older, you start to appreciate the snake which symbolises me (since I'm born in the year of Snake) and the ingot which to me shall symbolise wealth. Heehee... Love it!! Thanks, Diana. Can't thank you more for the pressie. : )
