Qing Ming 2012
Qing Ming - an annual trip to Lim Chu Kang cemetery; hubby's ah gong was buried there.
The Ongies missed out this special occasion last year because wifey was having confinement. This year, the relatives were anticipating for the Ongies family to join in; that goes for hubby's sister and bro in law as well.
As usual, upon reaching there, they will set up 2 tentage first. One for ah gong, another for everybody to hide under the shade. Indeed, there are a lot of people looking at their location! Because they were having picnic session as well.

Zi Ting going to feed Cait.
Praying
There's nothing to fear about at the cemetery, it seem very peaceful and quiet.
Knowing that the traffic will be very bad and congested on the actual day, especially weekend, lots of people intend to pray to their ancestor a week ahead. Walking from main road to the exact location is no joke at all.
The kids seem to be curious and less afraid; wondering if they know the surrounding environment. Nevertheless, the kids seem to have fun.
This year, it is also the first time Clar is praying to her great grand father. "The first meeting session"
Soon after ah gong enjoyed his food, and being very happy, it is time to burn the offering to him
Heavy smoke
