12DEC Woke up in the early morning, packed, dressed and out. Took a ride to msia on a car, to attend my grandfather's funeral.
Though don't have much unforgettable memories of him since i see him like once a year, but he still my mom's pop and he's a really really great kind-hearted person (: The funeral was already on the 4th day when i reached. Rituals started around 2pm and lasted till 12pm!
My first to experience a "choucou" type of funeral, have the cross the bridge, throw coins and such stuffs. I have to wear totally blue with a blue bandanna and i stepped on someone's unfinished cigarette. So darn painful la and got a new hole on my sock. Stood and sat for a lot of times and earth deity appear! *Ok obviously acted out by human. So he sang (sort of like the chinese opera) and coughed all along the way. Went past granddad's coffin several times. I got to admit, seeing someone you know lying there doesn't feel good.
Supper, lean pork meat bun! Ok then went to a motel around 2plus. There's was no cab, no coffee-shop, no bus and minimal light, wow super rural. The motel was kinda like a chalet room except for the bad reception of channel 8/U & no 5 .
13DEC Maur's asam fish for breakfast. Returned around early morning to "fetch" granddad off. The burial place was pretty far and have to walk up the rocky slope with only a pair of socks. Ceremony finished and one handful of soil from everyone into the grave. Returned for a final ritual, a angbao and home!
