Ching Ming Festival

It’s month of April again and Ching Ming is near, Ching Ming Festival, also known as Tombs Sweeping Festival for chinse, This Festival is to encourage the young to remember their ancestors, and to pay respect to their ancestors.

Normally, we will start worshipping my Grandpa's tomb before the actual day of the festival, I think should be a week before. Then my parent will decide on the date to go for the actual day for praying my grand father. Back to 10 years ago, when I was still studying at my hometown, we always go for the exact date of the festival. This will never happen after we all came out for work at KL and my brother went to Work at Penang.

This year, won’t be able to make it this year because I need to work and still progress with the house moving preparations. Hope can go back for next years.
