i just got home. so blardy late. and i'm to wake up in less than 6 hours' time coz' i'm working tomorrow, and involved in Bugis's set up. quite stupid arrangement, knowing i've to attend funeral, and yet get me involved in early set up. what other stupid moves i am to expect from the roster planner?
anyway, my cousin just told me that his wife saw ah gong. *pause* and he explained that sometimes she can see "things". she saw him, standing next to his coffin, holding 3 yellow pieces of paper (i don't know what's that), looking at the basin which was burning incense papers for him.
the thing is: she can't see his legs.
he added on saying that now he understands why she was shivering when she was made to pay her last respects before they leaves with their baby. after telling him what she saw, she thought it through that there wasn't a reason for her to be afraid since he was our grandfather. there's no reason for her to be afraid.
also for today, there was a ritual for him. and the bunch of followers (aka the people whom we paid them to carry out the ritual) were one hell of a let down. one of them told us to get ready for the ritual, some of them still playing mahjong (they brought their own set!). i guess granddaddy knew we're frustrated with them. the lights for the tentage where they would carry out the ritual suddenly black out! almost immediately, the "sai gong" scolded them to stop playing.
sure enough, the lights came back on.
most of my cousins and relatives saw what happened and they were laughing to themselves. somehow they understood how impatient my grandfather would be. and they all knew the "sai gong" knew. or not, he wouldn't scold his fellow colleagues.
i felt his presence at times. however, i'm not that "sensitive". i'm still hoping i'll see him, someday, smiling at me...
