=7 days-

so many things happened on the 12th
good things first:
fren's great grand mother birthday
fren's birthday (which i did not give her well wishes yet)
fren's laptop spoil.....( u ppl may think this is bad, and not a good thing, but he got to have a new laptop for free!!!!)

as for bad thing lei
my great grand mother died
sat is such a fine day
i wanted to do my stuff
but somehow felt a little funny
so put down my stuff and go visit her
reach there all fine, relaxing mood
so jio jiayin for lunch
stupid cousins saw and tried to play their usual stunts
after lunch...which i called it dinner, near 6pm, i went back
more ppl arrived, she still looked ok, i wanted to play my game
then it happened

the buddhist radio was playing the last scripture, heart sutra
she coughed out yellow stuff and stopped breathing
grand-aunt thought she's gone, and start wailing
nurses running about.... those outside rushed in but i stayed outside
no point going in to cramp up the whole room, as there nearly 30 of us
grand-aunt was kanna dragged out of the room, still crying
ppl from inside come out say she alrite, dun cry liao
and the cycle begins, with grand-aunt sneak in, cry then kanna dragged out countless time
and lastly, she went in and said to great grand mother that the funeral will be made nice nice, very grand, a total of 7 days and then she's gone

there is a problem with finding the place for the wake
cus my grandfather hse got no void deck, all shops
then the field infront of the hse already booked
then no choice had to go to a block hundred metres away and put it there
thon the nite, or rather i played my psp the whole nite
but there some stupid bugger come over to ask us to give them some space to have majong
fuck!! turning the whole wake into an illegal gambling den

-2nd-
the day where she enters the coffin
all need to wear uniform
white shirt
black pants for sons, daughter, internal grandchildren
blue pants for external grandchildren
green pants for internal & external kanna sun (great grandchildren)
rank have to be pinned on the right sleve
straw: sons and daughter
straw on top of beige cloth: first grandson and the wife
beige: internal grandsons and wife, internal granddaughters not married yet
white: married internal granddaughter and the husband
dark blue: external grandchildren and husband/wife

red: cus there no 5th generation
brown: no 5th where got 6th generation

they also write out the names....

whoohooo!!!

-4rd-
1am the gamblers had a lot of arguements, police come down for dunno how many times
5am finally they had a fight
they lucky im not there.... if not i will make them kneel in front of my great grand mother
and because of that
police warned us all activities stop at 11pm, and if anyone else complain the funeral too noisy, the permit will be revoked
and all of us knew who or wad group of ppl complaint
that evening have prayers
and more ppl wore the uniform

-5th-
jiayin came
cousins come up with stunts again
afterwards had a cousins meeting

-6th-
final nite
the priest damn attitude
cus we need to wear full gear, which include head gear and a cloth around out waist
and the cloth they tie until damn tight la
so obviously when some of the bigger sized cousins go up and be tied
we sure laugh la
he scolded us that: "this is a funeral, not a party"
wad wrong with having laughters??
yes, it sad that my great grand mother dead, and we should be crying and not be happy
but, wad wrong with being happy, for ourselves and for her that she enjoyed life till 94, had prosperity and had 74 ppl sending her off?

start off with 3 priest chanting
then 9 kids...cannot call all of them kids when only 3 are
finally the priest that scolded us
crossed the bridge
but i dunno the story behind it
lastly go burn the house for great grand ma to stay in
guess we really made a lot of noise....as alot ppl came out of their hse to see
joke of the day: angry complainer jumped out from the front door, before can shout "KNN diam can or not.... i will call police hor!!" see us 74 downstair.....will oso ownself diam diam go back sleep

guess where i slept?
beside the coffin lor

-last day-
first had the band
then offered offerings
and my name is on the banner!!!
i stand in for my father -_-"
and i rougly know why the surname is "Tay" liao
then the "luo" for 45min
last thing was we walked a long distance
30mins ba...
plus all those frens walking
we have 100 plus ppl walking
we totally block off the 4th lane
vechicles wanted to left turn at the traffic junction oso cannot
and the route we took pass by a mosque
looks like we courting for a fight
cus as we walked, those infront keep playing trumpet, banging on the "instruments"
we sure distrubed them
whahahha

this will be the only time, no more, where i get to see burial

anyway....if u wanna die
u gotta have money
cus everything for now is $26600
and for 6 days....the food amount to $6700, discounted ^^, not counting night snacks and those food we cook/buy ourselves
we heven count the money going to be spent on hiring a shifu to see the fengshui, heven decide how grand the tomb should be....
said to amount to $40,000
haiz
no money cannot afford to fall sick, so dun bother to talk bout funeral
