Ching Ming Jie 2003

This year, we chose to visit Gonggong on an afternoon. Break away from the usual early mornings 5am! Hurray for the kids! Can sleep more!


It's 1.30pm when we reached the cemetury for our annual tombsweeping day. Gonggong, here we come!


Afternoon's a good time to take nice photos! Compared to early morning where darkness prevails.


Here's where Gonggong lies. Ohh, that big 4 digit facing the camera!


Everyone's here! Ah-Po looking happily at the camera. Oh, the one in pink next to Ah-Po, is our previous maid. She doesn't work for us anymore.


Gongong's surrounding


Preparing food for offering


Gonggong's neighbour's tomb is a land of dry grass. We dun even know if anyone visits every year.


Ah-Po giving instructions


Nice flowers by the side! Hang on, not really done yet. The red candles not yet placed!


Ah-Po started the ball rolling. Talking to Gongong, asked him to bless our family & stuffs lah.


Still talking...


Ah-Po giving more instructions


Think tis contains the clothings for Gonggong


Tis year, there's a metal bin to burn the offerings!


Ah-Po...still talking.


Dad paying the yearly maintainence fees for Gonggong's tomb. Now...doesn't Mom looks like one of them? With that pink shirt & cap? -_-"


The clean tomb & lush green grass is where our maintainence fees goes to.


I think the family of this deceased didn't pay the maintainence fees...or perhaps, never visited at all :/


I must admit, afternoons are hot too! Look at the number of opened umbrellas we got!


Geez...


For our neighbour


Ah-Po looking radiant!


Ah-Po holding on to red plastic bag


Ah-Po looks like officer overseeing a big event.


The Qoo can drinks, that Ah-Po accidentally threw into the burning. -_-" There goes our fave drinks! Oh, be happy that they're non-carbonated drinks. So guess there won't be explosion?


Ah-Po giving instructions again.


The last we saw of the 2 Qoo drinks & a plastic bottle.


We left the place around 2.20pm. Quite fast eh?
