The second journey
was planned soon after my return to the working desk. It was about 5 years ago
when I had done a short escape back to the Bolehland and took my parents on a
Qingming tour from the south.
My grandfather ashes
were placed in the Thousand Buddha temple near the Sungai Besi airport. When my
dad was still able to drive; my parents would take a drive up north during mid of the year; they would visit my
aunt and complete the Qingming ritual every year. The ritual was suspended due to
Covid19; I had a few discussion with my bro regarding the issue of relocating my grandfather's urn to Kulai so that it could be easy for us to complete the
ritual every year.
It would be a difficult task when my brother told that he had suggested it a few years back but my
parents had “strongly” objected such idea.
I told my brother that
I would tried again on this CNY visit and I was determined to get it done with
or with their consent…
I brought up the
idea again during one of the conversation and my parent had objected it as
usual.
I however told
them that I am doing it for the sake of our third generation. So it would be
easier for them to complete the ritual in the future. The conversation did not
end in a good atmosphere from my point of view. But for me, It was good to go from that
point as I had done the job of informing….
All the fragments of the task were difficult; extracting the urn, sourcing the relocation site, finding a window of at least 4 days….
It looks like a multiple visit tasks but I hope to do it in
one attempt….
