A Spooky Morning - 清明节扫墓

We reached the graveyard around 6am. 
We were very surprised by the heavy mist. 
It is probably the heaviest mist that I have ever seen
in my life on flat ground.

We hastily found our way to the temple to seek
the blessing of buddha in this spooky morning.

这是清明节的最后一周,香火并不多。

Peaceful dawn.

向观音祈求平安

Approaching the end of the spooky morning.

向天公点香

We moved on to the tomb from the temple.

The mist was still there when we reached the tomb.

This is the troupe visiting the tomb.

The usual coloured paper and candles.

Burning of the offering.

When we are on the way to my eldest brother's tomb,
we saw the sun in the heavy mist.

Another shot of the sun, showing how heavy the mist was around 8am.

Can you spot the school of birds flying across the blue sky?

It was quite hot there.

We had our breakfast around 10.30am
at Taman Ungku Aminah.

MacRitchie Reservoir


We reached there about 11am. We enjoyed the last 30 minutes of sunny morning.





We turned back at this point, just in time to get back without being stucked in the rain.
