Today is Labour Day. It's a great day to rejuvenate the soul of every single worker in Singapore. I spent the day sleeping and watching Channel 62. I woke up at 11 to have my brunch of pan fried soya duck and porridge. Watched "A Chinese Tall Story" and Stephen Chow's "007" before proceeding to nap. Was woken up by Aunt who came home from work and the both of us went to Alexandra Village to have dinner.
Still suffering from the sunburn. Though not as painful as on the day itself, the skin is still red and raw. Every single touch on the flesh is a torture. Regret going to work yesterday because it was pure sucky - Other than the painful sunburns, I felt internal flames engulfing me (too heaty) and my crooked neck. I wished badly for time to pass so that I could go home and rest (it was true, yesterday after having dinner, I went to have a short nap before catching the last episode of "The Homecoming" and "Ghost Ship" - What more can I say? I am a true blue TV junkie!
How I got the sunburns is due to our annual tombsweeping last Sunday. Though many of the family members are absent due to various reasons, we had fun. I guess it is rather important to have this practice otherwise you would never have a chance to know who your ancestors are, anyway, it's just once a year. Nothing much to ask for. Saw the picture of my late Grandfather on his tomb. felt happy because it was like "Hey Ah-Gong, here I am again! How are you? Hope you are fine. Bless me ok?" At least his in good condition and we brought along bags of gold and silver paper, food which consisted of duck, fruits, curry chicken and suckling pig. Saw many other tombs; some were broken, some were deserted. Wonder how the owners felt (if they could feel). Guess many of them slogged hard for their kids when they were still alive and look what happened? I cringed at the thought of it and hoped I would not be like them...
