This month is Qing Ming Festival (清明节) in the chinese calender,during this festival the graves of ours ancestors are visited & respects are paid to deceased ancestors through rituals such as the offering of flowers, food and joss-paper. People pay their respects to their ancestors within 10 days before or after the Qing Ming festival. (:

Woke up earlier than usual to pay my respects to my ancestors , grandpa & grandma. it's exactly one year that grandpa passed away,but then i feel that he had passed away for more than a year. he passed away peacefully without any pain,maybe this is the reason why i feel that it seems longer than it was. (:

On this day, my family,relatives and cousins will gather together to pay our respects to our ancestors together. it seems like an excursion to me! haha,we will travel to 3 places in a rented bus. choa chu kang, mandai and a temple. hehe. the weather today is not as warm as compared to the previous years and it seems like it's not as crowded too. this tradition has been going on for many years,from the time when i knew nth until nw! haha!

walking up the slope to the grave at choa chu kang , i saw dead frogs which were dried and flatten. OMG! i wonder how long the poor frogs had died! -.-"

hehe,i munched on two big Fuji apples today,they are so crunchy and juicy! loves~
