Qingming Jie in Sarekei

Sarikei trip
We went back to Sarikei -- my boyfriend and me--on 2/4/2009 by 10 am Bintang bus . it has been nearly 6 months we didn't go back to Sarikei home. We reach there around 4pm. We took a taxi --- short distance only for Rm 10. We ask around-- they say now everything expensive. OMG... may be next round will be Rm 15!
Eh-- our old car still functioning well! we drive to town to have our lunch and dinner! small place, as usual... not much choice.
After our food, my elder sister from Johore Bahru join me at the home. We have a good chat together. We slept early that night cos we are very tired.
The house is really dirty. Dad mop many times to make it feel a bit better.
The next day, we have so much to do.The first thing is to find food. We bring my 3rd sister together with us. She is very happy with us. The weather is hot that day. We roam around and try to get the thing we want. My elder sister gets 2 blouses for herself, I get one. In the afternoon, I buy flowers for qingming .
In the afternoon, elder sis go to Sibu to celebrate her 2nd cucu 1st birthday party. She come back to Sarikei again after the party together with my 4th sister from Miri. They reach Sarikei around 1130 pm. We chat again till late night.
Qingming Jie
It has been raining heavily during the night. I was thinking that the rain may stop in the morning. But it didn't stop.My 2 sisters join my brother in his transport and leave for Bintangor earlier than we 2. When we reach Bintangor, it sorts of a terrible jam. The cars hardly moved. The rain is pouring like dogs and cats. we seldom meet qingming raining so heavily. So our car turned back to Bingtangor town. We stopped at uncle shop till the rain is less heavy. The traffic jam is no better after an hour or so. We went to dad's father 1st. then my parents then my grandparents. The road is so slippery, dad slipped and fall. We can't light the candles well. The rain didn't stop at all. But they were so many people. They were all wet through. OMG. It was a real difficult Qingming.
