Charity for the dead..

As most of the chinese will know, now its the Ching Meng festival where the undead will go to the grave to do prayers for their dead family members. There are many ways to do it actually, some will bring along a big roasted pig, chicken, duck, kuih, drinks and stuff, some just bring along some fruits, kuih and drinks too pray. Some of them who had already converted to be a Christian, they will only bring a bouquet of flowers to pay their respect.

This time around, Im the only cousin who went. The rest of them are busy with their work and some are far away from home. But as usual, I will only stand and see, or if possible, sweep the dried leaves away. As usual, we will go to both my grandmother and grandfather's grave at the same day. So, we headed to grandpa's grave first and when we arrived, I felt something wrong. As we all noe, the picture of the dead will be put on the tomb stone. This time, the picture is gone and all I noe is my grandpa's grave had move further in d, but how?

I asked my uncles to check whether its the right grave..den my aunty came and said, "correct la, we came ever year wad, maybe some ppl came and took out the picture d". Well, okay of the picture is gone but how the grave can go so further in? So my uncle started to cut the wild grass and my aunty started to take out the stuff for prayers. But, I still thought that its weird because the chinese words written on the tomb stone is from the Yong Family but my grandpa's surname is Lee and so I decided to take a walk to another grave to check and see. True enough, they went to clean the wrong grave. I started laughing like a mad fella and ppl around us must be thinking that we're some maniac.

One of my uncle said, luckily the family member of the dead person did not come at the same time, or else we'll fight to clean the grave, and surely buat malu jer. And another one of my aunty told, no harm doing charity for the others ma. HAHAHA..Dumb dumb..first time ever, damn silly. Should have see the number on the tomb den buy number, manatau, I can get rich from this incident kan? sigh, wasted..LOLS..

Another joke of the day ..
