Qing Ming Day (清明节)




(View at 光明山)


Today, I went to pray to my ancestors with my family and my relatives. But it was quite a tiring day. Altogether we went to 4 different venues for our praying in 1 full day. Many families also offer their prayer this weekend.

Actually it was targeted to split the praying into 2 weekends, but since next week, my relatives are not free, so all squeezed into one full day. I have been going for 扫墓 since I was very young and till now, I still go every year for praying and helping up.

Other than praying, the worst thing is to look after my 2 nephews as they were there for the praying too and they like to run all around the places… :(

Then at 1 of the praying venues, 光明山 near Sin Min Ave, which it also the last 2nd stop, I somehow feel like taking photos when looking at the interesting structures. However I did not bring my digital camera along, so I have to use my hand phone camera to take a few lousy resolution snapshots… Think next year, I have to bring my camera along too during the Qing Ming period in order to take better shots…

After the praying, it was already quite tired and no mood to do other stuff, except writing this blog post.
