woke up as early as 5.30am on Sunday morning... joined my relatives from my mum's side for Ching Ming or Qingming at Nirvana Memorial Park at Semenyih...it is the day for mourning the dead, a day for Chinese families to visit our ancestors graves... it falls in early April every year, and this year, it falls on the 3rd of April... the descendants will need to "sweep the graves" of their ancestors... and it's also a time for happy communion with the family members to show respect to their ancestors... like US !! hehee....
this was the first time we joined my mum's side for the Qingming... cos, after my mum married to my dad, she's considered as a part of the Soo family... and we, the children will only pray to our grandparent from father side... except for this time, cos my grand uncle came all the way from China with his family members, so we just joined the crowd.... :)
slept in the car till we reached there at 8-ish.... hehee...
7 sisters... out of 10 siblings...
camwhored while waiting for others... me and Ken... with a big dragon behind us... Nyan, YY, Aunty Alice, CC and Ken....my great-grandparent's (Mum's side) grave...
they offered them a big roasted piglet.... the whole family kneeled to pay respect...
you can stand under my umbrella, ellla, eh eh eh.... hahaa.....
we had our breakfast at this restaurant inside Nirvana Memorial Park called "Yi Jia Ren" (One Family)...went back home to get some rest.... tired-nya..... next, all of us went for buffet dinner at Uncle Albert's house at Sierramas ....
and again, we took lots and lots of photos.... please dont get bored by those photos, okayyy ??? :)
