Qingming festival (Tomb sweeping Day) is just around the corner so we went to Fong Yun Thai to pay a visit to Granny. Qingming festival is regarded as one of the most important festivals for the Chinese. Cleaning the tomb and paying respect to the dead relatives with offerings are the two important parts of remembering the past relatives. Weeds around the tomb are cleared away and fresh soil is added to show care of the dead. The dead person's favourite food and wine are offered to them, along with burning of Joss paper. This is all burned in the hope that the deceased are not lacking food and money. Today, with cremation taking over from burying, the custom has been extremely simplified. Only flowers are presented to the dead relatives and revolutionary martyrs. No matter how respect is shown, good prayers for the deceased are expressed.
Left after a while as we need to rush back for tuition
Kennie backed muffin today. Her first attempt to bake muffin. Chocolate muffin using wheat flour. A healthier alternative as compared to normal flour. She combined the muffins and made it into a Bday cake for me. But Veona scolded Videl and I just flared up and ended not blowing the candles. I felt so bad as I spoil this happy occasion that I walked to Lot One to cool down. I shouldnt have flare up. Sigh.
