Grandma's Funeral

Wake up early & went to prepare for grandma's funeral.. we walk bare-footed ( but with socks ) from the place of the wake back to grandma's home & out to the main gate. Under the hot sun, the tiles are feeling hot, the roads are burning but we still walk till the we reach the main gate & boarded the pre-arrange buses.

Uncontrol sadness, reaction, cries.. making everyone sours. Teochew funeral is really abit different from Hokkiens.. Its so heart-breaking when i see my cousin crying to stop grandma from entering.. Trying to control the tears but still fail. Its actually not so good to cry in this manner although we're told to. To the dead, they might not bear to leave if they heard it.

Grandma already have great-grandchildren. Grandma.. may you rest in peace.. "您算好命了, 安息, 好走吧 ..."
