Tree Cutter: Outdoors

Impressive Structure

Sun, 20 Aug 2006 05:01:32 GMT

Darling spent his whole Sat at SA ... as usual. Though I really do feel neglected that he is very often not with me on Saturdays. I was really very impressed with the nearly three-storey tall structure that he and Vern guided the boys to build yesterday.

SHAPE RUN 2006

16July2006

For a beginning, I would be taking only the 5km route.

This should be quite comfortable for me as running 12 to 16 rounds of the stadium has always been

manageable for me.

So train ... train ... train

I am going for the Shape Run!

Attendance: 9 Adults + 2 Children

First Stop

2nd & 4th Uncle came to pick us up at our place.

Time clocked at about 930am.

We were half and hour behind time.

We made out way in a reliable looking truck to head for home of 3rd Uncle.

Where the tablets of Paternal Grandpa & Grandma sit.

A toss of two coins revealed that they were indeed present for the feast we prepared.

It must be one head and one tail.

If similar side turned up.

We tossed till the sides up were different.

Second Stop

The Grave @ Choa Chu Kang

HOT! HOT! HOT!

Ben & Bruce enjoyed the grown-up task of trimming the grass on the tomb.

Feast once again for my Grandpa.

I had asked him to quickly take a cab to the Grave to "meet us there"

Shoo Shoo .. my mama said

Cash Transactions were done with the help of fire.

Amounts admirable in the Human Realm.

Ben wanted to keep a piece.

Mama forbade.

Third Stop

Bright Hill Mountain Temple

SMOKE! SMOKE! SMOKE!

There must be more than a thousand humans there.

No count of the invisible realm.

Joss sticks & Joss paper prove reflected more pollution than filial piety ... my humble opinion

Conclusion

I wonder if my Grannies really ate twice that day.

First time together at the first stop.

Then Grandpa alone at the second stop.

And Grandma alone at the third stop.

I wonder if they mind taking the same food twice in the same day.

I wonder if we transfer cash to them at different locations on the same day ...

Caused any inconvenience for them.

I wonder if they really managed to get a cab to reach the second and third locations

To receive our prayers.

I Really Wonder
