| A Heavenly Paradise Beyond Wonder |
This is one rare day that I had to get up early at 5.45 am, rush through the morning hour chores and drive to Rasah Jaya to pick my brother Jit Cheng.
After almost 50 minutes, I was at the door-steps of my brother's home and sister-in-law served me breakfast. I had a half-boiled kampung egg, a charsiew pau and a a cup of hot Milo.
We were soon on our way to Malacca. After talking with Father, we took Sister-in-law Bo Kiak and our nephew Bo Jee and headed for the Simpang Krayong Christian Cemetery where our our ancestors laid buried.
I extract some important information from my elder brother,Jit Cheng's email on Cheng Beng.
"The Heng's family
siblings namely Jee Heng , Gee Tan and myself in addition Bo Kiak and
her son Bo Jee paid their respect to
our deceased grand parents at The Simpang Krayong Christian
cemetery on the 6th April which is our Heng's family observance for
Ching Ming.
We cleaned the graves, mopped the headstones and plucked the grass off the grave sites. We offered fresh flowers in the vases on the grave. We then said prayers and sang hymns. The prayer session was conducted
by Jee Heng with the service ending with a song Amazing Grace
being sung together by all of us.
I am grateful to those who took
the trouble to come to observe Ching Ming on the 6th.of April.
Many thanks for participating in this annual ritual
especially to Jee Heng and Gee Tan."
