after breakfast, everyone waited for my dad – where is he? we need to go now. oh.. my super thoughful daddy went to get coffee and yun tun mee for the workers..

make our way back to the cemetery for the ‘opening’ of the coffin.
managed to peek in the coffin, barely any bones left after 40 years of decomposition.

the ‘new’ resting place for my grandfather.
sweet that his final resting place is beside my grandmother.
my mum joked: they hv been lookin forward to this. finally ! able to accompany tonight.
