Tang Yuan Festival 2008

We cannot celebrate Tang Yuan Festival 2008 as my dad passed away recently. In fact, last night was the day he comes back for a visit accompanied by two Officers from Hell, a Mr. Horse and a Mr. Cow. Nevermind if you cannot catch the pun. The Chinese call it Wui-Wan (soul returns). Well, whether you believe it or not, it's a common practice. Dont play-play.

My Sis 1 went over to my Mom's place to help with the cooking and preparation. I know nuts about praying and all that jazz. I just called up my Mom and asked her if anything happened last night or not. Apparently, nothing much. My Brother heard the main door bang, and Mom heard the gate rolled on its tracks at about 2am when she woke up. That's about it.

After that, she dreamt of Dad and he asked her how is he to sleep if she did not lay the bed for him. He wasnt in distress or anything like that, so, my Mom should be at peace knowing that her Old Man is fine. As for the items around the house, nothing showed signs of being touched, or bitten into o.O!! Aiya, whatever it is, as long as Mom feels better and she's coping well, that's all that matters.
