Qing Ming Festival in Melaka

I was back in Melaka for Qing Ming festival over the last weekend. It had been a while since I last pay my respect to my ancestors. I remembered the last Qing Ming I attended was back in 2005 in Kampar, praying for my ex-gf's ancestors.

Woke up at 7AM, myself, dad & my youngest brother, drove all the way to Sungai Udang, a rural area in Melaka. Upon reaching there, my uncle was already cleaning the tomb. We would clean up the tomb, picking wild grass and sweep the area clean.



We then would place the "money paper" on top of the tomb area to mark our presence there.



The picture below is my great grandparents tomb.



While the following picture is the tomb of my grandparents. We would place food, fruits & tea as offerings to the passed on. We spent approximately 2 hours cleaning up and do the necessary proceedings.



After that, we headed to my auntie's place for brunch. It always felt good to have home-cooked food. Saliva drooling huh?







How was your Qingming?

Updates From Dataran Pahlawan, Melaka

Yes, I am a Malacca boy, had my primary & secondary education here before I further my studies in Rahman College, Kuala Lumpur.

Looking back, how Malacca had changed. Since my parents are residing in Malacca, I make it a point to come back as often as I can to be with them. This weekend is my second trip back this month and it's always a pleasure to stay away from the hustle & bustle of city life to rejuvenate myself in my hometown.

Woke up at half past 9 this morning, mom prepared home-cooked food. I then sent my car for major repair (burning my pocket again) before following my younger brother & his wife to Dataran Pahlawan (the latest mall in Melaka). While they went off for movie, I decided to stuck my fat ass in Big Apple Donuts & Coffee, surfing, facebooking & blogging.





Thanks for messages, comments & calls after the previous post. Blogging & writing are the best medium to express myself.I just felt the age 30 felt like a crossroad, at times you miss your school mates, at times you will miss you college mates and for single like me, on particular time I miss the girls I am involved with. One of my ex MSNed and encouraged me to pursue the girl I mentioned in my previous post once again.

At this point of time, I still feel the time is not right yet. I had better learn to love myself more before I learn to love others.

Happy weekend and I am taking this opportunity to wish one of my favorite girl a very happy birthday & may all your wishes come true. Happy birthday Nikki! Muacks!!!





And just a teaser, I am getting a new tattoo soon! :)

I Am Dumb But Melaka CM is Dumber

Shah Rukh Khan was awarded the title of "Datuk", the equivalent of a knighthood in Britain by the state in recognition of his promotion of the southern state through his films. Malacca Chief Minister Mohamad Ali Rustam said Khan had helped the state's tourism because six of his movies involved locations in Malacca, the New Sunday Times quoted him as saying.

Still remember the Hong Kong movie, Summer Holiday starring Sammi Cheng & Richie Ren where most of the movie was shot in Melaka & Redang Island, Terengganu?

Then there should be Datuk Sammi Cheng & Datuk Richie Ren.

Ali sohai...
