Went tomb sweeping/washing/painting/pruning on friday(aka good friday) meet up with my relatives. Heard a joke there, about a man who bought a Luo Han Fish,which costed a few thousands, and brought it home. After which he set off to buy a fish tank to contain the fish. When he reached home, dinner is served. While he was eating the dinner , he asked his wife, what fish are we eating? The wife just replied, the one you brought home today.
Moral of the story, we are practical people, ornamental fish is not as useful as cooked fish.
At the graveyard, surprisingly it wasn't as crowded as past years, the traffic flow is not as bad. Possible reasons, a) Good Friday, so chirstians will not go bah(but this is one of the least contributing factor) b) Its published on the newspaper that there is going to be a crowd( But knowing the Singaporeans attitude, i doubt this is one of the reasons that would deter people from going. I think we are those that love to go for those people squeeze people situations.) c) its Guan Ying Dan (aka The Goddess of Mercy's Birthday..most prob since those visiting the chinese cemetry should be the taoists or buddhist, and i learnt that those who prayed the goddess of mercy will not pray to the deceased on the same day so i tink most likely this could be the reason)
As usual the highlight of the tomb sweeping is the getting of 4 d numbers. Surprisingly my grandfather and grandmother gave similar numbers with only one number different ..haha.. sort of shocked when aunties when the first 3 numbers that they got from my grandmother is the same as the same 3 numbers given by my grandfather but in a different order..haha.
Talking about 4d some people may say that we are just compulsive gamblers..haha.. but i tink differently , rather i would say that is more of us being hopeful. Buy 4d is more like buying hope, not really buying it just for the money since we usually dun bet heavily usually is just less than 10 bucks and usually ibet..
