Hello this page only for Me!

Apparently, it was the Ching Ming Festival today.
So, I woke at 8.20am (that’s pretty early for me, okay...) to prepare and stuff.
Finally, leaving the house at 9, we left for breakfast @bedok. Yumyum
Anw, for those who don't really know what Ching Ming Festival is about; it's actually also known as Tomb Sweeping Day, now you know what I'm talking about? I do hope so.
Anyway, it’s a pretty interesting experience; I don't really remember going last year, prob because it was the Big O year. But I definitely remember going as a kid. Now, more like an adult, I see things much more clearly, I looked intensely at the photos of my grandfather and mother's side grandparent.
I wondered what my dad had to say to my mum's parents, given that he had never seen them before.
Also, it was pretty good bonding time; I got to know how my mum's mum passed on (in a weird, twisted-event freak accident. & I also found out what my dad did with whatever time he had when he was a kid / teen. Apparently, he chased skirts, caught spiders & played marbles. )
I knew it was taboo, that why I didn't ask what I intended to.
But secretly in my heart, I wonder what they would like us to offer them when in future, inevitably, they... passed on. But I didn't get an answer, I couldn't ask, or maybe I just didn't want to, because I hope, I pray, it doesn't materialize .

And i realized ....
