MY GUESTS AT THE WAKE

Front row: Me, Rose, Lai Yoong and her Aunt Josephine.
Back row: Min Hong, Veron and Gek Lan

According to Chinese rites, one usually buries the dead three or five days after their demise.  As my mum passed away on Friday, the third day was Sunday.  It was not good to have the funeral on the fifth day as it happened to be the first day of the fifth lunar month.  So we only had one day for the wake.  I only managed to contact my relatives and close friends.
