today's me...
it's mum's death anniversary. awoke at 6.30am by father. gg to kong meng san for chanting. i was still feeling drowsy and sick but i must go.well, the usual.
arrived there, waited as the people-in-charge ushered to make payment at the next building. then, session started as the people laid vegetarian dishes on the table, lighted joss sticks and telling us to "invite" her out from her niche to this dining table where she will eat and receive the prayers.
once again, tears rolled down my cheeks. like everyone, i was telling her, "remember to hold my hand. we are bringing u out to eat. remember to hold my hand~..."
at the table, stared at those dishes and listening to the chants by the monk.
"mummy, how are u?" and i started to update her abt myself and of others. "i've started to work but always sick. do u know abt father's health? er-ge's work? and look at how much ying has grown~..." tears flowing down again.
5min later, chanting ended. then, holding those paper money and packages and telling her to receive these.
back at home, prepare more food for her. (which i wondered why. as we had already invited her to feast when at the temple, and now at home. guess she must hav transformed into various forms of spirits.)
then, saw a receipt on desk. realised that the morning session cost $63 incl. 5% GST! wah... standard pricing lei.
met up with shan and jas for dinner @hg mall. shan returned from taipei trip. jas finished her diploma. jas turned chatty and hungry. must be a post-school stress.
myself, i bought a pair of cats-designed earrings and a pair of 3-quarts pants from c.o.a.x. eventually. and, their service sux for giving me such a sulking face.
