Here comes the time of the year, the Chembeng/Qingming day (read: Grave-Sweeping Day), when the whole family will visit their ancestors or relatives’ graves. It already started on last 2 week and today is the actual Qingming day, when we should do the ritual praying at home.

We head off early morning to my late Grandpa’s grave yard, which is about 1 hour from Medan. The weather is just fine, windy and not hot at all like what we expected. I guess miss sunshine wants to have a relaxing Saturday.

We spend around 1-2 hours there and go back my Grandma’s house for another praying thing. Since today is the actual day of Qingming, the road is so jam packed and so messy. Crazy.

The same thing goes to restaurants/food stalls as people lining up to buy capcai whatsoever Chinese foods for the praying. We get into the long queue too. The Chinese restaurants should have quite a good business today.

After all those Chinese cuisine, now I’m craving for spaghetti and other Italian cuisine like San Diego dining that serves beautiful Mediterranean view. Shall stop dreaming now cause it is located in California. Aiks..
