So last Sun (which I think was the actual date on the lunar calendar), we set off at 7am...driving past rows of houses before we reached Foong Yun Thai Association Columbarium, the final resting place for my grandparents and 2nd aunt.. Per my understanding from dad, this place is only opened to people who are members of the Hakka clan... A quiet and peaceful surrounding located at Old Holland Road, off Bukit Timah Road..
As much as I doubt that my ancestors will receive whatever we are burning to them, I'm still reserving much respect for the 2 elders whom I've never seen before.. Ye-ye and Nei-nei (Hakka dialect for my paternal grandparents)... Both died in 1959 and 1978 respectively..
"Just burn lah.. don't ask so much..", mum said.
zzzzzz... =_= Burn lor.... we'll be back doing the same thing next year...
