Sunday

It's SUNDAY!!!!

Everyone would want to have a long and lazy sleep on Sunday because it's an official holiday for us, over the east coast Malaysia expect for Kedah and Perlis. Many of us from Southern and Central region are not aware that several Malay states in Malaysia's weekend is on Friday and Saturday instead of Saturday and Sunday.

Do I have a long and lazy sleep last night? My answer would be....NO!

WHY??

I got up early to go to temple for praying. I loved to pray. But the hassle and bustle of traffic in jonker make my journey so miserable. I nearly lost in that area as I'm not really familiar with the narrow and short road over there. Maybe it is fated and obligates me to pray. Eventually I found a rather strategic spot of parking. Praying all by myself, is another funny story. I've no idea on the methods of praying and the protocols of praying. Funny story begins:

1. I asked the seller of praying materials " What should I buy to pray for dead person?" The seller looked at me with fallen jaws, and replied "Are you referring to your ancestor?" In my mind was like, "Holy shit!How can the earth I just uttered the word 'dead person' in front of a person who's alive."

2. When I wanted to burn the papers for dead person, several people just said, "Excuse me" so I'm being pushed away and I spend nearly 10-15 min burning those papers. A normal person would have taken at most 5.

3. I've no idea that I cannot keep the food for praying before I've burn those papers. So I spend another 15 min waiting for the coins to be in opposite side. The fact is if I don't burn those papers first the coins will not be in opposite side even though I waited a whole day long.

I'd just realised that I'm like the clown in the temple. I just hope the goddess will forgive me for my clumsiness and my carelessness.
