7:15AM Clear

Went down to the wake after brushing up.After a good night sleep,emotions start to be more "active and normal".The mood was solemn.However, as my relatives arrived,their voice overwhelm that of the chantings from the player on top of the majestic coffin.

"Go help Ah Ma change song."

The tracks were changed but there are a lot of different versions.

"Wah!Techno,RnB also have ar?! Haha!"

A little bit of humour live up the solemn and tense mood a little.Hours were spent buring joss paper for granny.As i was burning it,i looked at the coffin dazely.Memories start to flood me.My heart felt a sudden wrench.It was Painful.However,I didn't showed the action out.External shelter were extended from the hall for ritual at night.

Dusk falls.The priest arrived and start chanting again.Why does all chanting had to sound so sad.Crossing the "Nai He Qiao",throwing coins into basin.The ritual lasted about 45 minutes.After that supper was served however I don't have the appetite.Hence,I left home.

Today is the last day of the funeral.Everybody were worn out mentally and physically.Before the coffin was carried onto the van,we touched the coffin gently.Tears now were like out of control,falling off those pale cheeks.Soon,we left for the cemetry.

The cloudy sky seemed to be mourning for granny as well.After the paternal sons and grandsons throw in the white chrysanthemum and a small piece of soil.It is seriously heartwrenching and painful to see someone close to you bring buried.We left her "new house" on bus.Everyone was so tired that most of us knocked out on the cold bus.Finally,everything has ended.So is Granny's life story.

No matter how rich,how famous and how powerful you are.When you left is like how u came.Empty-handed.So while still living,we should do things that doesnt bother our conscience.
