Another busy Sunday

This Sunday my Mommy had some rituals to do for her ancestors. So She did not sleep much during the weekend. Infact she woke up 3.30 AM and called my San Yi (Aunt Michelle) to come to our place. Aunt michelle had to ride her cute vespa motor bike 4 AM in the morning from tampines (east end of Singapore) to our place (west end of Singapore). She is a very brave lady.

Apparently around 5 AM, my grand uncle came to our place and they all went to our ancestors grave to do the offerings and prayers. This is once a year mass event, part of the Taoist tradition. My mom wants me to learn some of these traditional things and keep it going in the family.

6 AM, I woke up and I was looking for my mommy. I saw Daddy, sleeping like a PIG. I made some noise and woke him up. I called for Mommy, she was not around, then daddy tried to explain to me where she went. We started playing, later he cooked oatmeal for me which I ate a lot compared to previous weekends' breakfast.

Around 9AM they all came back. I met Grand Uncle and my mom's cousin and saw my San Yi after a long time.

Later around 5 PM, we went to Expo to shop at the Robinson's sale. I got a new Mouse Mouse hairbrush for myself. Guess what, we met my San Yi! She was there doing her fair share of stimulating the economy buying things for my cousin Murphy.

After all that running around, I think I am having a bit of fever. I slept in the car on my way back home, and my parents did not bother to wake me up to give me dinner. Well they tried but I was too sleepy head. So I slept all the way through until 6 AM the next morning.

Bye Bye.
