qing ming jie plus absurdity

absurdity

the whole family plus relatives were having lunch at my aunt's place.. wat happened next is simply absurd.. due to a limited amount of places around the table (actually cuz the house very small), my little aunt decided to sacrifice her seat so tt the others can sit n have lunch merrily.. but then strangely my big uncle (age abt 50-60, notice the old age) decides to be angry and decided tt he will not eat lunch.. for watever reason.. and he just sat fuming on the couch even though my aunt kept persuading him to eat plus others too.. and he just refused to eat lunch.. and I was SHOCKED..

there was no argument prior to eating lunch.. plus everyone just propped down onto their seats and started eating.. so i suppose tt is the only reason he could get angry abt.. which is absurd.. and so everyone tried to persuade him to eat.. den he just stormed out of the house and mumbled sth abt eating lunch alone..

and all these took place prior to the visitation to the graves.. so he ended up not eating lunch, fuming n not paying respects to his parents (my grandparents).

some ppl are just weird.. plus while everyone was eating, they just nonchalantly mentioned tt "aiya, tt is his pi qi, nv change since young" this made me more shock.. cuz he shld have change by now cuz he is no longer a kid.. sometimes adults are just mad.. fancy getting angry over such things..

qing ming jie

nothing much happened here though.. except i almost find this tradition to be a bit too ritualistic instead of really remembering the one who died.. it has simply lost its meaning.. although i do see my father sincerely doing the rituals.. or maybe cuz he wants to strike the next 4D.. ha.. oh well..
