today didn't go and work, because:
...
i wanted to list down few reason why am i no at the workshop today, but then..
boring..
i go around town collect money, cleaning the new house, go my uncle house...
i also dunno what am i doing, but then today don;t feel really comfortable, feeling sickin'
so spending few hours in the evening after all the remeh temeh stuff for sleeping..
at night, the opposite house neighbor doing this 功德 stuff, ritual stuff..
originally i don't attend these stuff, but then i happen to bring some stuff to the ritual place with my parent and the owner ask us all to go tonight.
this auntie insist that we go, else she lao gai.. and my dad said, since i never seen this ritual stuff before, i should go and take a look. it is reasonable for us not to attend funeral if it is not really related to us, but then this 'gong de' stuff, is just ritual, nothing bad, so...
cultural stuff, let's go..
thou many people is taking photo, but then i didn't..
i am just so not a blogger..
they have a super big house, made with papers, polysterine, bamboo.. a super big art piece,
the ritual people telling my dad how to judge the art piece, cuz every part of the house is hand made, and hand coloured, scissors work...wow, impressed i am.
in this era of 'saving environment is big' era, open burning wasnt something to be encourage,
i always feel that if we were to run the campaign of save the earth, the very basic thing we can do is to stop burning this ritual stuff.
But! today witness this art piece, i wonder, if everyone stop burning this ritual material, this art piece will not be inherit anymore, i might not have the chance to see such cultural art piece anymore.
(this art piece..er..ritual stuff is made by this famous sifu,
with reasonable price, and famous with his work,
this rather big house cost around 8kRM, and consider small..
he said some can goes up to rm20k plus..)
well, my main point wasnt the ritual, is this culture..
culture culture,
we burn it all down to ashes, blv it to goes to whoever died..
i see it burn after the ceremonial, in less than 1 mins, the house gone..
art piece, work piece...
such pretty stuff, we made it, to burn..
weird?
