CHING MING

Yesterday, a team of 6 members of the family left for
Canton, China for "Ching Ming" (CM).

I joined them for breakfast, prior to their departure
and while having the "dim sim" ......

3rd Uncle : Do you think, we need to buy some of those
joss sticks and prayers stuffs for CM prayers over in China?

3rd Aunt : No need kua.... all the luggage already been
packed nicely, veli troublesome if to re-pack it

Eldest Aunt : No wor.... I think better buy some.
The last time, the CM prayers' stuffs brought from
there not so good quality geh.

(Heavy debate on the topic amongst the round table
of 12 people, finally discussion were made. 8 vs 4.
Majority wins. )

They detoured to get CM stuffs, inclusive of
joss sticks and candles and paper monies
lots of it, in various denominations.

In the car, heading to the airport

cousin : Wuah ... you all having so much $$$$$$...
How you going to declare the type of currencies
and the big amount you bring out of Malaysia ???
and if spot check on the luggage finding all
these "prayer stuffs"?

Uncle : No worries wan...
we cross the bridge when it comes !!
maybe what we see, they dont see leh.

True to uncle's words, in the evening, i received
an SMS from him saying no hussle, things went smoothly
and they have safely arrived in Canton.
