however, there is no such celebration for us tonight. if you believe in chinese superstition, tonight is the 7th day of my grandma's passing and it is the day when her soul will make a visit to the house. everyone is supposed to act normal and continue with the things they are doing and not show anticipation. i have heard some ppl going to sleep early on this night too, but i doubt they are doing it at home.
i went to work today i bright pink blouse and when i came back, i met my neighbours who passed me some new year goodies and red packets. they said i should not be wearing so bright colour since my grandma has just passed away. but our family do not believe in such thing and i have not been cautioned about it back home. everyone is just going back to their normal life. i think it is better that way.
i have been retelling the events prior to grandma's death and things about the funeral for about 5 times now here today that they feel like one of the natural occurences in life. it is, isn't it?i am trying to find some time to select the photos of the funeral to be developed and i have to get it done before my brother leaves for aussie. i have also cancelled all my classes at home this weekend. i don't think people are comfortable coming to our house since it is still the chinese new year period.
i am driving the kids to participate in cross country competition tomorrow. so all the mandarin oranges i got today will be passed to them. i have not eaten one at all. maybe i will eat one tomorrow to quench my thirst while waiting for them to finish their run.
well, time to get my sleep before the firecrackers go wild in the night sky.
