After my mum's funeral, my friend Annie called to convey her condolences and also to give me a bit of advice. She told me that when I went to the undertakers to pay for the cost of the funeral, I should ask for a few ten ringgit notes back. In Chinese tradition, this is symbolic of some good fortune left by a deceased parent. Well, I did what Annie told me to do and true enough the undertaker gave me back RM20 in a red packet. I have to thank her for sharing this with me.
