Today went back to malaysia to pray for my grandpa. My family and my cousin(er jie) who studies in NTU went back together. Before that, we passed by johor mahx so went to look for my 3rd uncle for breakfast. I ate prawn noodle. Actually, it did not taste as bad as others said it does. But the noodle is kinda dry and all. But after adding the soup, it taste pretty good. I kinda liked it.. Maybe i have weird taste? The toilet there is so totally disgusting. Can't believe i used it.. It has a lump of shit in it. And worst still, the flush is not working.. Sick. I'm glad i used it after eating..
Anyway, I met my 1st uncle cuz he living with my 3rd uncle.. It's been a while since i've seen him.. I don't really rmb him.. And i dun tink he likes it? Dunno.. Not my fault that i don't rmb him, right?
My dad dun really know how to get to the fu gui shan zhuang where my grandpa's ash is placed so we ended by in circles and all. It was frightfully tiring. And hot of course.. I thought i am going to be sick.
We got there and met up with my cousins, uncle(er jie's dad), auntie(er jie's mum) and grandma. After that, we went to pray. There is this big hall where nuns are hired to chant or smth. Then there are tables and all.. At the back of the hall, there is a big shelf where the names of the decease are placed for people to pray there. There is a stage at the front of the hall with 3 golden god statues. The shelves at the back cost $188, the tables at the middle cost $688 and the "big houses" with lights nearest to the stage cost tons.. A few thousand dollars at least. There is this very disturbing thing. There are flies all around us!!! Millions of them. And no one cares to kill them. How i wished a have the "electric racket" with me. Then i can electricute them all! There are offerings on the tables which cost $688 so the flies all gather there. They dig into the bowls of rice and stand on prac everything on the table. They are so disgusting, they make me squirm. The rise looked like sesame seed rice, only that the seeds are moving. GROSS! And when people passed the tables, the house flies rose up like a swarm of bees. EWWWWW!!!
We went to the place where my grandpa's ash is kept. We went there to pray and stuff then we sat in the air-conditioned place to rest. It so happened that my father, younger sis and i were sitting near the door and beside the glass panels wheer a lot of house flies are. So my dad took a rubber band and began to shoot the house flies. It was fun and we killed a handful of the vile creature. Unfortunately, i don't think we are suppose to do that. Anyway, i realise that houseflies don't have blood. hey just have some kind of white subst. My dad said that it's their guts and all. They are equally gross, be it dead or alive. *shudder*
Lunch was provided. We had bee hoon and all.. Fake meat and curry veggie and bee hoon/noodles are provided. It was nice!!! I loved that kind of food. Hehex... Esp bee hoon and fake meat and curry veggie. Hahax.
That is the end of our praying trip!
