28th & 29th March

Today:
Woah. Woke up at 730am this morning, and got myself ready to pray pray. LOL. Meaning, to go Toa Payoh to bai ah gong, lao gong and lao ma. The crowd at Toa Payoh was, as always, racous! Had to offer joss sticks 3 times, and then off we go (with more food!) The weather is hell hot and the sun was shining mercilessly at the fellow filial descendants! The cousins, as always again, gathered around to talk/chat/gossip/laugh and ended up settling ourselves with another stayover at around June. heee! Oh yes, you know right before we leave right, must burn all the joss paper mah. And the fire in the 'funnel' was extremely fierce! NO ONE can bare to stand within 1m from it, those adults would quickly throw one stack of joss paper and rush back. Got one lady don't dare go too near, so my dad helped her with it. haha!

So after we left Toa Payoh, it was burning joss paper and offering joss sticks again, this time for Gong Gong, whose gu hui was situated at Kovan. This temple was a lot smaller, and there were less people, thus quieter and yay! peace! So I helped to burn the joss paper this time, and the 'funnel' was so small I can put it in my pocket. LOL. There were so little people, we had to start the fire ourselves, and the whole process (say, 10 min) I was standing 1m from it, turning the papers. Then towards the end I simply stand right in front of the miniature fire and throw in the paper. heeeee funny!

Yesterday:
Did you support the Earth Hour yesterday? Well, I sort of, did so. I mean I didn't on the lights at home, nor any of the electrical appliances. Because I was out shopping at Vivo City. LOL! Naughty Vivo City didn't support this campaign, but seriously speaking, imagine what would happen if it's total pitch dark. But anyway to all friends who did, be proud of yourself! and For those who didn't, slap yourselves 123456789 times.

Oh that's not the point, yesterday at Vivo, I bought myself - Finally oh my god FINALLY - a bag :) Adidas E44270. I was so determined to buy a bag home, that I almost bought another black Adidas bag in Tangs, which jaw-dropping-ly cost $129! So went over to Adidas, and when my sister pointed out that bag to me, I was like' huh~', like sian leh. But then after walking around the humongous shop, I decided to try this bag. And to my pleasant surprise, I kinda like it. Well, I only like it and not love it, so won't be carefully protecting it or wad, it's already lying on the floor beside me RIGHT NOW. (because any new bags I got previously, always get the bed/chair.)

But I'm happy I got a new bag, woohoo!

Today:

OH YES OH YES. Today I came up with this very interesting idea. I'm not trying to be lame or funny, but really! My dad asked me if I told Ah Gong (who passed on when I was 2) the address of SP, so he can come visit me whenever he's free.

Then I said, "No need one la, now they got computer and everything, can go google out one la!"

And my dad agreed by saying, "Orh ok lor. Then you got add them in facebook or not?"

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Then I actually realised, wouldn't it be fun if everything (including praying etc) is converted into IT-style?! Like in facebook, there could be a new group, which we would call Ancestors Club. And all the children grandchildren and on, would join the club, and every now and then, instead of Poke/Send Gifts, we click "Offer Joss Sticks" or "Burn Joss Papers"!! It's all about sincerity isn't it? Heeeeeeeeeeee!

-THE END-
