On the 3rd of April after college went back to dad's hometown - Pantai Remis, Perak for ''cheng beng'' prayers.. a short getaway from Penang *For those that do not know what is Cheng beng - it is actually a type of prayers to remember our grandparents and great-grandparents* and during cheng beng most of our relatives will be back there compare to CNY.. either from Penang , KL, Taiping or even Singapore.. Is a big gathering time with the extended family members !
-On the way to Pantai Remis, Perak-
First Penang bridge was so jam at that time.. I guess because everyone is going back to their hometown for cheng beng or just finish work jamming back to Butterworth.. so dad uses the second Penang bridge.. Is a little bit more pricey compare to the first bridge and duration to complete the bridge slightly longer too.. but no jam.. why not ^^ reached PR quite late.. had supper at the usual place and back to aunt house .. dad and his siblings chit chat till late night even though going to wake at 8 for chengbeng the next morning..
the next morning
-4th of April-
Cheng Beng day
everyone awake .. and wash up to freshen ourselves before heading to the cemetery where Grandpa and Grandma place there.. while waiting for the rest.. with le cousins went to the stall few houses away from aunt house for breakfast..
