Tomb Sweeping

Tomb sweeping day is like a family reunion to me. This year as usual, we are supposed to meet up at my grandma's tomb at 6am. I woke up at 5am... Tired sia. There was a slight traffic jam when we were approaching Lim Chu Kang.

My other relatives already reached there and once we arrived, my parents started cleaning the tomb. All the uncles and aunties started preparing and all the cousins sat at one side, as usual.

After cleaning up, the first round of burning began..... right in front of the tomb.

Burning incense paper... very blurry but artistic right.. hahah

Cousins sitting at the side of the tomb....

Queuing up to pray. We all queue up according to our status. The eldest go first then the second.. and so on..

Scary or not???

Somebody set a big fire on the jin zhi and then shouted... 'huat ah!!'

The sky is getting brighter. It is 6.49am. You see it is very crowded at the cemetery.

After everyone finished praying, we start to burn all the stuff... Burn ah!!! Burn!!!

My grandmother lies in peace here......

Took this before leaving~ Nice view right.. Reminded me of a poem. 千里孤坟无处话凄凉

When we were leaving, there was this long long traffic jam at the other side of the road.

Haha took this for fun.. I think it looks very peaceful leh..

Then we visited another tomb, my great grandmother or grandfather. I don't know. I didnt take the above pic cuz I dont want to go into the bushes and feed mosquitoes.. :P my aunt took it for me....
