Blissful

Honestly my mood wasn't good at all when I reached Kuantan, but throughout the weekend, I spent time with my family, rabbits, birds & fishes, I realized how lucky I am to have all of them around. They just magically made all the bad things looked so tiny.

Well the main purpose I went back last weekend is to attend the All Souls Festival. Reached my grandpa's grave around 7am, it was just break of dawn. Unlike past years, this year is much more quiet. It's kinda hard to describe my feelings. Firstly, I'm really glad to meet up with all the relatives that I didn't meet on CNY. On contrary, my mood are partially gloomy. This year my second uncle is not here. I can see that all his brothers miss him, very much. Even I miss him too. I just can't control myself, images from past years keep playing on my mind. Just 2 years ago, he was there. I think what I remember about him the most during is how he twist a stack of golden & silver paper.

I hope u get what I mean here by twisting the paper. errr imagine there's a stack of half A4 size paper, and u can't just throw the whole stack into the fire because it won't burn completely. So u'll have to separate them but ppl are lazy to put the paper into the fire one by one, so what we do is we put our finger at the center of the paper to fix it on our palm, then our finger move accordingly like how we play scales on the piano. The square stack of paper will slowly become a circle shape. DO U GET WHAT I MEAN????

Normally ppl uses one finger and a palm, but he used his fist to press the paper and twist. And he was doing it in a way that the papers are so hard to twist.

The praying ceremony at grandpa's graveyard was short compared to previous year. We then move to the Kwanyin Memorial Temple at Gambang to pray my grandma. We are very lucky that this week isn't very crowded. I heard last week, the car park is so full then the late comers will have to park their car far away from the temple. After that they went to visit my 2nd uncle. Some uncles sort of talk to him, then some are telling their kids that they miss him.

Well, as written on the title, I should feel blissful with all I have now.

Honestly, today when my sister & I left home, my parents were standing at the car porch and waved to us, I feel like crying. I don't wanna leave them even though sometimes I wish I could be alone.

I took some photos but it isn't with me now. I'll upload them real soon.

After posting this, I'll be back on track on my assignments, and my mid term test preparation. I've loosen myself for weeks.

College mates are planning a island escapade after the mid-term, to assure that I'll enjoy the trip to the full, I should do my best for the test =]
