Get packed and started our journey down to Tualang, my grandfather's house.
Unexceptionally, whole Chai's family will have to gather there. No matter where you are living or working, you just have to put down all the things and come back for the tomb- sweeping day. It becomes a non- written law, since my family lay stress on commemoration for the ancestors.
As usual, climb up to the hill, and start to clean their tomb. Haha... actually I'm not that clear who they are (the ancestors>.<)...What I mean is...I always mixed up their tomb...haha..idiot me...But I still pay my respect to them unexceptionally. Few routine steps: clean--> arrange oblatory--> and pay our respect. Repeat the same steps when sweeping the two other tombs. Everything settled around 11am..Exhausted..>.<
Found that the younger generation like us really know nothing about tomb- sweeping. We just know what to follow during that time but not the real meaning..even though we know, we may not really understand the needs and the reasons of doing that... My dad always says...when come to our generation...will us still come to pay respect as they did...Truthfully, I also don't know...Haha..may or may not...maybe come to that age..I will do the same thing...if I start to learn now...haha...
But forget about that, Tomb- sweeping day is still a meaningful day, where we pay our respect to the ancestors. Without them, we can't be here. They are roots. And as the saying goes, we must always appreciate their contribution to the family.
