Ch'ing Ming…

Today is actual day of Ch'ing Ming Festival.

I went to Esiang’s house after fetched 2 kids to the kindergarten and Teacher Joyce’s house.

Ika had prepared and cooked all the offerings for Mum and Grandma already, i.e.. mushroom chickens, fried vegetable with garlic, old cucumber soup, brown rice, fried brinjal with minced chicken, of coarse and the flowers and fruits too.

It had been 12 years since she left us. I had not visited her ever since I pregnant Issac until now. More than 7 years I guessed. What a shame, not coming to see her ever since I married, and now my marriage got problems and my husband is seeking for a divorce.

We arrived there almost 11:30am. Richie and Exuan met us there. We had a good chat there, among our cousins. Time flies, we are all almost between age 30 – 40 already.

The place never change, still the same, just beside it there is another pagoda and in front of it build another block for the Christian or Catholic. Still not much trees and ponds, still the same under the sun very hot.

At the Tua Pek Kong Temple, I thought I saw Chuan Boon. But, after that, I did not see him, probably is someone else I guessed.

I am telling Mum about my failed marriage and hopefully she can looks after my two lovely kids and blessed for my path ahead…It is true, one will never know how a Mum would feel unless you become one yourself some day.
