``_____.*to the cemetery.#

so tired.
the day before, went to work and had half day leave. went home at 1 to get prepared to go for boss's wedding. It's so nice, the ambience and all, THUMBS UP`!

After that went home to get some rest and woke up at 2+ to get prepared to go to the cemetery to move the bones of grand-dad and uncle Poh Soon. So tired nohs. only slept for an hour plus. ANW, yaas, our first stop was to go to Grand-dad's tomb, which when we arrived, the coffin was already on the top and we don't even see the tomb anymore. lol. After we pray, the undertaker uses those kinda electronic saw to saw open the coffin, grand-dad's coffin was those olden type, those kind that we see in chinese vampire movies. It was so hard and thick. The undertaker then start clearing the bones of grand-dad. after thirty over years, there weren't lots of left over, but the bones of the leg, thigh, skull and probably some other part were still in there. Undertaker says grand-dad is very big and strong. so WOW nohs, the undertaker knows just by seeing the bone. tsk tsk tsk.

After that we set of to Uncle Poh Soon's tomb, which same thing, when we arrive, the coffin was already out and we do not see the tomb anymore. For uncle Poh Soon's coffin, the undertaker do not need to use the saw thing, they just knock on it. We were't suppose to see, so we all had to look elsewhere while they open the coffin, and when they were opening, i heard the water flow or say gash out of the coffin, flowing into the soil. And when we can see the opened coffin, it was all filled with water and that some of the bones were floating. There was a stinky smell when we move near the coffin. So we all got to try to bear with it.

Unlike grand-dad's, Uncle Poh Soon's bones were still in place. The undertaker then starts to bring up the bones. The tenderloin was still in there, his bones were kinda redish and he still has got some hair on his skull. The undertaker says that Uncle Poh Soon had just rot not long ago. (phew, luckily he rot, if not, we will have to buy new coffin for him to sleep in and then go for cremation.) The undertaker also says that Uncle Poh Soon is young and that he did not died of sudden death.(well, he sure didn't as he died because of the alcohol from chionging everynight. That's why even after the rot, he still has got some hair to keep himself handsome to go chiong. lol. Remember we were all so young then, he brought us out, bought us toys. Bring us on a ride on top of his shoulder and all around.)

After picking up all the bones, we went home to catch some sleep, probably like an hour or two. And then went back to collect the ashes. Though we did not collect much bones from grand-dad, but his pack of bones were bigger than Uncle Poh Soon's one. Imagine, grand-dad must be huge`! lol.

ANW, after putting the ashes into the urn the place was being place into the place and was being sealed. After sealing, Uncle Fedrick 'pua pue' so ask for permission to continue. But was beng rejected. So the rest of us have to kneel down as well to seek for permission. omg-ness nohs...my ancestors are giving us a hard time...and while we were just about to finish burning the incense paper, Jie run down with grand-dad's pic from granny(the one which she always bring out to show off to us.). Granny wants us to burn the picture away, she even torn it into half already. Then only i heard from my cousie that grand-dad has another wife in the neither world. And even came up to ask for permission from granny to marry. no wonder when we were preparing all these, granny did not want to look at grand-dad's, she only wants to go and look tat Uncle Poh Soon.
