This year, quite a few people went to sao mu from my daddy’s side of the family. To my surprise, my grandmother went too. Note: she can hardly walk/stand/sit without pain (she told me one ok, not i exaggerate!).So yes, i was rather surprised to see her there. I like to hang out with my ah ma, even though i can’t really speak fluent hokkien. And sometimes i don’t understand the things she say. But i still like to hang out with her! =D while the rest of my uncles and aunties and cousins were talking while burning the incense paper, i took the opportunity to talk to my ah ma for a bit. She was standing in front of my ah gong’s grave cus she said that way, she has a place to lean against. Then we tried to strike up a conversation with each other lol.. one duck one chicken talking, my dad would always say. =D there was one episode that left an impression on me though. I asked her a qn, but she didn’t hear me. She was- it seemed- stoning. I decided to let her stone for awhile, and then i asked her the same qn again. But then, she didn’t hear me again. after a while though, she started to talk-- to my ah gong. I felt like i was intruding, like, dian deng pao u know? Haa..
Yup, so that was sao mu for this morning.. oo oo, i didn’t manage to get a picture, but 2 very cute puppies (the mongrel kind with long excited tails) came over to play! =D SO ADORABLE! =DDDD i call them xiao huang and xiao hei! =DDD hahahha...
And i got to sit at the back of the lorry when we were coming home! WHEEEE! =DD shiokness! =D haa, pretty good way to start a day. NICE.
