Yee Pak Kung's ceremony

December 20th, 2009

Yee Pak Kung's ceremony was on December 20th, 2009. It was hot, but everyone one managed to survive. We burnt paper money for him, in his new home. The fire that was used to burn the paper made visible heat waves, they used a stick to poke the paper in the fire. We visited our great grandfather, we burnt jossticks, we gave jossticks to other people that we don't really know to be polite. We took pictures and we did heaps more things.

Brandon (my little brother), kau fu (my uncle) and I tied together firecrackers, I didn't tie them together, I opened the packets. Which means that I DIDN'T tie them together. We lit the crackers on the grass bed behind the stones. In the picture above, most of the family is there, my mum and Alyssa weren't there because Alyssa had been sick, after that we went to visit kungkung (my grandfather). I got mosquito bites when we visited kungkung, heaps of mosquito bites. I fell asleep in the car because of two reasons:
1. There was nothing to do
2. I was tired because I woke up at 7:00am

We gave them flowers, food and paper money. I'm the girl in the front row with a "sailor" dress on. Everyone says that I look like a sailor, and I'm not saying that I didn't because I did. It's just not a sailor's dress, the colours are but I wasn't.

Everyone will miss Yee Pak Kung, Especially the family. Ah Tai (my great grandmother) cried when she got there, everyone tried to cheer her up. The buddhist monks sang a song that kau fu said was "hip hop" he pretended to do a little hip hop dance, that was funny.

We'll miss Yee Pak Kung alot,

and great grandfather and kungkung!
