To the good brothers and sisters

*/happen on 14/09/09

As usual in the morning, mum bought offerings to grandpa and uncle. We sit a while and plan to come back evening for the performance show.

Talking about the performance show, it is at the evening till 11pm, quite late ya? But mum don't mind, she can sit as long as she can. The performance show is mostly dancing from the lion and dragon teamS. S which means a lot of teams, that's why uptill 11pm. Rules says that only elderlys can sit within the boundary, younsters have to stand to look at the show, if not they have to go outside. Thus, i stand from about 8 to 11. Quite tired sia but i still sit down when no one is looking.

About that we have to give the last offerings to the good brothers and sisters. The ceremony starts by having the closest relatives kneel down in front of the tablets and pray, they are holding josticks.

We, get too but..Actually i got first and mum says she don't want because she afraid the crowd will knock onto her stomach but i am not sure about all this. Mum told me to follow auntie but she went far away to somewhere..hhaiz. I wonder if she deliberately did that.

Mum sympathise me so she take her josticks and we wait to start walking. The master then tell us to start walking to the location to burn all the offerings which include boat, house, incense papers and lots. We followed and they start making a circle with candles lighted. We put our josticks to the offerings and burning starts. I watched the flames fly around the sky and i wonder if those flames will drop down and hurt anyone. Fortunately, it did not.

After that, we cleanse ourselves using flower waters and wait for our uncke to finish his supper. After that, we went home, it was around 1am. Another late home day...
