the GRAND. :D
okay, lets start.
CNY day one
practically didnt sleep the whole nght through, trying to help my parents SHOU SUI. apparently, the longer you stay up on new year's eve, your parents would live longer. so yeah i stayed up and watched videos and studied a lil. slept at 5 and woke up at 5.45 . mummy woke me up to go all the temples.
and so the journey started. although it required 'soaking' my clothes in the joss stick scented air, it also sorta made me realise my roots.
the first temple we visited was like a temple of all the different gods. they had statues of different deities and below each statue would be a peice of paper stating the birthdate and the name of tht deity. pretty cool.
nxt was the temple across the road. this one was smaller, and i think was meant to pray to 'tua pek gong' for good fortune. and in the temple, there would be this lady with a container of oil. next to her, there would be a wooden box with a small hole in the center. the ritual would be tht you slot money into the hole, tell the lady your name, and she'll pour the oil into another container with a candle in it, whilst chanting some hokkien. i think what she was chanting was that she was asking the gods to bless me, tht it would be a good year, i would be safe and improvents acadimically would be prominent.
the thir temple was a small temple, but we didnt go there to pray to any deity. it was to pray to my great grand mother (i think). but the funny thing is tht, because all the tablets stating the name and all tht are enclosed in this HUGEEEEEE glass cabinent, and we never have been able to find my grt grnd mother's tablet.
last but not least, we headed to the temple where the tablets my maternal grandparents were held. saw them, teared as i prayed to them, wishing them a happy CNY, where ever they are.
after all tht visiting, we went for prata! haha not tht grt though.
came home and prepared to get ready for visitors!
blah blah blah everybody came and took lotsa lotsa ang baos and stuff.
dinner was at my grandaunt's house, which was fantabulous i tell you. FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD!
CNY day 2
not much really. morning was just slept away. and afternoon too. only during the night i had another dinner at the club, SRC, treated by my paternal uncle. food was wayyyyyyy horrible, much much much more horrible then i rememberd it being! and saw firewrks too! though quite dissapointing.
HEHHS, but tht wasnt the hightlight of the night. the highlight was tht my sister said she was gng to buy the red ipod for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can you believe it?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
