Reflections of a wretched life

Marketing was ok... was quite glad that my CA was good...

for Psychology.. one word can summarise my feelings... "LIAO" that's the word! haha... to think i've studied quite hard for it and in the end, all came to nought... haiz... once i flipped open the booklet, every question is foreign to mi and i'm practically staring at that paper for quite some time... but anyway, it's already over n i shldnt cry over spilt milk... juz hope that i can pass... haha...

some thoughts...

i dunno why am i blogging when i shld be study now... haiz.. haha.. i juz feel the urge to let noe some thoughts in my mind...
went 光明山 yesterday to 扫墓... was quite reluctant to go at first, but thinking that i shld learn some of the traditional practices, i juz went for it... i'm quite glad to go at first, but on learning that all my clik of cousins are not going, i'm quite sianz... in fact i'm the youngest one there... feel so bored... thus i tagged along my mum whereever she went.. haha.. they proceeded with the '拜拜' session... the whole place was damn packed and there are a lot of families there 拜拜 also... everyone was under a large tentage in which rows n rows of tables were laid and pple are to find a place there and place their offerings, incense, etc... everything was like mass-produced and was facilitated to such convenience.. even the burning of the offerings was facilitated by the Bangla workers there... i was struck by a thought: “religion has been changed to such a point where there is no significance in worshipping and there is no spiritual attachment already. everyone is juz going thru the motions and did wat is expected of them." i'm no exception... also influenced by the norms and expectations of society..
then i went up to place where the temple housed the ashes of the deceased. the place was designed as such: the first level are those cheap cheap kinds in which their ashes are places in a urn n were juz stacked rows n rows n columns n columns and were put in glass cabinets. and the whole level is not air-conditioned and according to my mum, the cost for putting the ashes at this level is $500.
then i went up to the 5th level to 拜拜 my grandparents. upon reaching there, i feel cooler.. the place was airconditioned. the ashes are placed in small little 'cubicles' (which is much better than the ones in the 1st floor) and there is a colour code attached to each cubicle. each colour code indicates the categories which 'they' will live in. n the prices range from $3800 to $15000! that's so expensive to place the ashes... haha.. i was so shocked when i heard that... i'll rather 'stay' in the Mandai columbarium when i died in future... haha.. a waste of money to 'stay' there.. haha..
i supposed that's all i wanna say... haha.. feel free to tag n niao at mi... ya most welcome... haha.. bye peeps!
