The alarm went off at 5.45 this morning. Arranged to go “shao mu” at 2 places – bright hill and mandai. On the journey to grandma’s place to pick her up, the national anthem was playing from the radio.. woah.. long time since I heard it.

What took me by surprise was the amount of people at bright hill, both sides of the road were lined with parked cars and the police were already on site to direct traffic!! Row and rows of people were walking towards the temple, all carrying paper offerings. What a sight!!! The temple official opened at 7am.. but at 6.10am, it was already packed. hehe..

Went in to the columbarium to visit the ancestors. Hmm.. we had difficulty finding her some of the urns. haha.. grandma gave us the wrong row – it wasn’t B but C. The second stop at mandai columbarium was also a jammed packed event. I think I’ve not seen so many cars there before hahaa…

After which we travelled to toa payoh lor 8 for breakfast, before coming back home to nap. Nice way to spend this sunday…gotta start doing work after lunch:)
