Qing Ming Jie


I just got home from the cemetery. It’s been perhaps 2 years since I last went sao mooing with my parents. The feelings about the trip are unchanged though. In the cemetery in the mornings, I always find a sense of calm and serenity. It’s really really beautiful in the morning during the drive over, when we pass the stretches of grassland, covered in a thin layer of mystiquey mist. With the rising sun illuminating the landscape, refracted in the water droplets hovering in the air, every thing looks so so nice. =)

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.

picture time!

xiao huang! =)) hahahaha

眼泪

今晚的眼泪，掺杂着对爸爸的思念，和对妈妈的心疼与不舍。面对着要离开家的两个孩子们，剩下空空的巢，想到妈妈的处境就忍不住鼻酸。妈妈这辈子的路，艰辛啊。终于成熟的我，满满开始体会妈妈的路。 老爸啊，妹妹真的好想你。我很放不下妈妈。我想啊，可能你走的时候也同样牵挂吧。有空回来看看她ok? 妈妈很想你。保佑妈妈能勇敢地找出新的人生目标，让生活依旧充实。你也一样哦。我还在想象，老爸如果你还在的话，你会对这一切有什么想法和感触。爸爸离开家的时候，是不是也和我一样不舍? 今晚的我，也特别感激有一个疼我的老公。看着视频里，突然之间，没有预兆地大哭起来的老婆- 超难搞的。我知道老公很少会允许自己的悲伤这么放纵出来。所以要你能体会，不审判，不指责，就只是专心聆听和陪伴，其实不容易。可是老公就是那么疼我。我到底做了什么，值得老公那么爱我。万分歉意，可是我就是停不来。最后也只能在心里不断地(边哭，边)说谢谢，希望这人生路上我也能一直这样扶持你度过。 夜深了，该睡了。心里挂念的人们，晚安了。

I think it's time to start afresh, right up from ground zero. Funny to attempt a rebirth of character at a quarter of a century, I know. (okay, i confess i struggled between whether I'm a quarter of a decade or quarter of a century old). But well, some things have to be done! To quote my favouritest female singer-songwriter; my (sort-of) life inspiration; "to give yourself a new life, you have to give the other one away". I am famous for holding on too tightly to the past. Perhaps it's time to let good, let go. Seek forgiveness, and also forgive myself for old wrongdoings, whether or not I truly deserve it (who's to judge?). Life simply must not be spent wallowing in the past. (For we are not warthogs, hakuna matata) So-  Hello world, again.  (: sk p/s: #(parenthesesabuse)
