burner..

Today was tiring. I'm just back after sending off my cousin's grandfather's last route. I reached the void deck with my Mom at 11.30am. Very few people were there. All the relatives were wearing the proper attire. Soon, a group of people came. They are the band. They played oldies which were very nice. Anyway, the band cost $500. Then the monk came. All the relatives were to hold a joss stick and kneel down. My cousin (Xiong Jie - Pri4) was so funny! He held the two joss sticks with his two hands separately and played with the flame. Haha! He was kneeling down at first, then squat and then sit down totally. Hee! He kept smiling to me. Haha! So adorable.
I saw the handsome man. He's the cousin of my cousin. Haha, get it? I saw him a couple of times at my cousin's house. He looks a bit like Chong Boon. He is a doctor, surprising? Hee! He's around the age of 24+. Xiong Jie knew I like him and wanted to see him. So he brought him to where i stood and signal me with his eyebrows! Wah Seh, i was shy! Haha! He kept bullying this handsome cousin and joked me. However, he has a girlfriend (whatever!) haha. Whose a nurse. She was not there as she went to London to further her studies. She will be there for 5 years! Haha! Well, a lot of things can happen during that 5 years. *wiNk Haha! NutZ me!
Alright, the whole ritual was so grand. Lots of people were present. I was so excited to see such a grand funeral. They must have spent quite a sum of money.
I was at the 'Guan Ming Shan' - temple. That's where my Kor Po's (great grand aunt) ashes are. When i reached there, i felt a great sense of belonging. Well, its not that I been there for thousand times, but I felt as if my Kor Po is there. And I'm there to see her. I ran to the gate and shouted for my Kor Po. I told her I'm taking my exams soon and may her wishes me goodluck. *almost weep
Alright, then the body was pushed inside the 'burner'. It was such a quick process. Soon the door of the 'burner' closed. And that's it! So fast! I was shocked. I thought it would be like at the Aljunied - where there will be a few ritual and the body will move in through the curtain and then move slowly into the 'burner' (which I will definitely cry). It's was quite heartbreaking to see that. Is that where life ends?
Okay, I'll stop here. Watching Singapore Idol soon. Anyway, Jerry or Christ should be out!
