"Ahh the usual Sunday" was the thing lingering in my mind when i woke up. Things were just moving on as usual but the onli thing is that we have Basin and Towel. So Barney, Elliot and I stayed back to play ping pong. We had such a great time trying to out do each other. We played until Basin and Towel and we were a little worn out. So during Basin and Towel i was pretty tired and wasnt really paying attention(Sorry Sonny, every afternoon i will feel the same thing no matter what event). Suddenly Sherry stood up and went behind to answer a phone call well that happens to anyone as usual. The weird part was when she tap on my shoulder and asked me to follow her. I was kinda shocked coz i didnt know what was going on. "Call your dad. Its urgent" those were the words i received from Sherry and then i borrowed her phone to call my dad. I called my dad and he told me bluntly " your grandfather is dead"... Ok haha i didnt really ask much coz i dunno what else to ask and quiet shocked.

I went home after basin and towel and wait for my parents to return. Then we went to the funeral parlour together and i was told that i needed to do the ceremony with them. I couldnt say anything because they were rushing us since it was like a last minute thing. So after the ceremony i asked my dad to excuse me from all the ceremony but my dad insist for the sake of respect. Not wanting to make a big fuss i just went along with it. On the same night Dexter and Chris gave me a lot of support and i was also encouraged that there are so many other youths who sent their condolences to me. I didnt really expect something like that and i know that the YF is there for me during the funeral day.

The Ceremony was funny coz they were asking us to do all sorts of weird stuff like walking around while the Monk sings his song which is some sort of meditation. Well they do hav good voice coz it sounds like some opera show haha. i didnt do exactly the way they wanted me to like when they say bow 3 times, i bowed once or twice. when he was singing his way as we do nothing but holding a jostick, i was praying in tounges. so throughout the whole ceremony i realised that the people have a certain level of Hell and all they do is remain in Hell. They even believe that the dead will be reincarnated into some creature, Ghost, or human. Its just so sad because i had a better ticket than that.

Oh did i mention bout the paper that they burn? they hav a house to burn and guess what, they hav house number as well. im laughing in my heart. there is also a car the size of a toddler toy car which they ride around the garden and there is also a number plate. the most hillarious is that there r 2 paper made SERVANTS. During one session, the monk taught the servants on how to take care of my grandfather. haha they really look silly with all these things. Later on the 2nd day at night they burnt all those paper stuff. They lit the house first and the whole pile of paper stuff went off into a big flame in no time at all. i was mesmerized with the fire haha. looks cool.

So on the 3rd day, they cremated the coffin and there wasnt much to say bout that since i have been to that part before. Lets go to the 4th day where we throw the ashes into the sea. We went to North port in Klang for the 1st time im there actually. the ride was fast and we went to the jeti where there is a boat waiting for us. Its just a small tug boat but the ride was good ahha. A different kinda ride i would say from the other boat rides i have been coz we can walk around the boat. when we went furthur out into the sea, they started to ceremony again and the monk almost fell off the boat coz there was another speed boat passing by thus creating small waves and the waves were pushing the side of the boat. so it got a little rocky and he was standing singing again. so later as he sings he took the ash and throw it into the sea along with some sacrificial food. I was just looking into the sea in search of fishes coz he threw some twisties and cup cakes. to my dismay, there were none. after the monk stop singing it was all over and time ti go back. i wish i could go for that kinda boat ride again coz its fun ahha.
