The wake & funeral

The wake came and went. It's a pretty simple affair, nothing fanciful with the frills and rituals. We were all kinda slack about the dos and don'ts; to the extend there were like, 5 laptops lying around.

Cousin Shan aka Bernadette and I were so bored, we played webcam, with the fact that we were sitting next to each other.

Haha. Damn stupid, my mummy was there clicking the shutter for us.



On Sunday, Shan and I went for Sakae and shopping! Ahaha.


It was like, the last day of the wake as well; so all of us were required to put on the funeral uniform and perform the ritual thing..

These little girls are damn adorable! <3

CUTE COUSINS.

This girl really know how to flirt with the camera. XOXO

It was quite a hilarious sight during the ritual!

The kids were playing with some stuff they made, the few of us were busy snapping the camera away and playing with the little girls, and my mummy..

My mummy is a classic! She was playing with her phone, and she suddenly gave out a squeak, started jumping up and down, and showing the 'V'ictory sign and spreading the news she striked lottery.


Obviously, the monks weren't very pleased.

But nonetheless, it totally cracked us up. It was known later on that the monks said a family like us are very rare. Like, you know.. People usually mourn and grief during the rituals...



And today was the cremation day and hmmm, I'd say I've learned quite a few things from this incident. We had a family dinner after everything!


Cousin Sunnie and her daddy who is my 5th uncle


Cousin Yang aka Julian. Woah, that face looks so punchable.

That's just about how I spent my weekend.. Hmmm, it'd be really really nice if we can get together like this every week, fortnightly, heck, or monthly. But then again, it's too difficult to set aside the differences and just hang out together.

Even during Chinese New Years, we don't get perfect attendance for the reunion dinners. Now with both of the grandparents gone, it just made it tad much more impossible.

Oh wells.. It's good while it last! :)

YANG AND SHAN: If you're reading this, we really have to keep in contact! Jiejie loves you. HAHA.
