040412 清明節


今年由於潤月,所以清明節落在4月4日。
清明節快樂嗯!

我們在剛過的周末囘吉蘭丹掃墓去了。
當天整個義山上人頭鑽動,
瞧,公公婆婆的墳頭來了這麽聲勢浩大的一班親人,好不熱鬧!
這氣氛,比農曆新年仿似有過之而無不及呢!
那美食佳肴、那新衣新鞋、那此起彼落的鞭炮聲。。。
顯然,就是黃泉之下的先賢們,煞有其事地在過年喲!
後輩們也借此機會敍舊野餐話當年,“思親話義”一番。。。
那其中隱喻的飲水思源之深遠意義,
就這麽一年又一年傳承而下了。

QingMing Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day) is another important festival for many Chinese family besides CNY.
We drove all the way back Kelantan to 'visit' our late grandparents and ancestor at the grave.
14 hours of driving (return), 4 hours of preparing (food and praying stuffs), 140 minutes of tomb sweeping ceremony.
The stories that we remember, the memories that we shared,
Past, Present, Future.
The meaning that it carries is desired to be lasting 4ever.
0404,
Happy QingMing Festival! :-)
