Today is the real date of Qing Ming,one of the day for us to pay our respect to our forefathers at their tomb. But,since yesterday was sunday and most of my relatives free from their work at only weekend,so,we went to our grandfather's tomb yesterday.
As usual,we woke up early and went there early in the morning with the food as well as the joss papers to be burnt for my grandfather. Don't know why every year the date we chose always was the date when most of the people chose also. So,we again traffic jam jor awhile. Fortunately my grandfather's tomb is at somewhere we can take another path to be there very quickly. But.. My mum spent quite some time to park the car as she went to the wrong side and we don't know that there is another new path where is a really short cut for us to reach there and to park the car. At the end,we were the first to reach my grandfather's tomb but were the last to get whole family member there. @@"
There were a lot of families "played" the firecrackers as this is a year of tiger. Burn the firecrackers during Qing Ming is good for their families. erm.. Even though it's not good to comment anything,the firecrackers were very scary and dangerous as a lot of people passed by. *sigh*
After finish cleaning and burning the joss sticks,we "asked" for grandfather's permission by using two coins to eat the food we brought. First time,grandfather said no,he haven't finish "eating". Second time,we said that our grandmother hungry le. Then grandfather only said ok as second time we got two different side for the coins. XD
About 10am,we again cleaned up all things and then moved to my grandfather's brother's tomb. Actually is quite unfair de. We just few people went there only and the rest went back home le. A bit feel sorry to "him". >_<"
