Today is the last day of the wake ... Dearie & I were on duty yesterday so we only went back home at 6am to catch some sleep as tonight will be a long night + we are not going home tonight.
We went back around 1+pm ... and Small Aunt cook nice noodle for us .... when we reached there .... there are lotsa ppl there already.
At around 6+ 7pm .... the ritual ceremony start .... it takes about 4 or 5 rounds and each interval is around 10mins only. My Parents and Uncle came .... when during break time I manage to get some rest at their table. Cos is a total FULL HOUSE tonight ..... and there is no more table and chair left!
During the ritual most of us couldn't take control and burst out crying ..... our beloved Grandma have left us. Almost all break down including myself ...... my dear dottie still tell me "mummy, dun cry" and wipe off my tears!
The whole ceremony ended around 10+pm to 11+pm ..... including of burning the big house everyone is sad+tired+hungry. After the ceremony we help to take down all the blankets ... there are total about 100+blankets and all of us help to untag all the names on the blanket fold up ..... and those who want the blanket just take the rest will be donated out. According to all Cousins 100+ blankets is consider little ... last time when Grandpa passed away the whole of the Langsat Road is hanging all the blankets which is around 300+!!! WOW!!!
After all the packing up .... we take turn to go back bathe .... we are back to Bishan at around 2+am ... thanks to Woo Heng whom bought us some supper and we started to chit chat to keep all of us awake!
