Tribute to Ken's 23/08/2006
Dearie's grandfather passed away on Monday morning... he has been ailing for quite a while and will be reconciled wif grandma in the other world... we received Dearie's mum's call early in the morning and we immediately applied for 1 week urgent leave... Dearie is the eldest grandson and he had alot of stuff to do during the wake...
Being the eldest grandson of the eldest son, Dearie seems to have heavier responsibilities... think according to teochew traditions, eldest grandson is equivalent to being the youngest son... tomorrow is the funeral and we have to stay overnite at the wake tonite...
both of us stayed overnite on tue nite... me stayed up whole nite at the wake cos hv difficulties sleeping in 'foreign' places... Dearie managed to catch an hr's sleep in our pooh-canto... :P me stayed up to fold the joss papers into 'ingots' and watched out for any cats that may stray in...
rest in peace, grandpa....
