06.08.09 : Band For The Funeral

thank you April for sharing the Donut from Donut Factory during the night shift... sarap ko man!

i went home. shower and went to bed. no breakfast this lovely morning, just too sleepy.

it was around 1500hrs when i hear a few music instrument being tested at the void deck. it was a band of musician getting ready for a Chinese funeral rites. i just lost my sleep.

late lunch, early dinner. rice with Bakwan Tipis and Telur Sambal. simple yet tasty. thank you grandma. me like!

the day turn to evening i was tolerating the culture. nothing shocking, i have my utmost respect and i could bear with it, provided my TV volume is blasting at 42bar. so i don't see any problem.

do you?

then the full ritual starts. the band is in the house! the lady singer was blasting high on her powerful vocal. i think there is two of them. one sounded too senior. then there was this male voice so macho, so "abang-abang"...

i wish i could join them in the (sad) ceremony but somehow my community forbids. nothing wrong with paying respect to the dead but i have no intention to upset my family by singing in a Chinese funeral... i envy the band. to the family of the demised, my deepest condolences to you. i can feel the lost in the way the rites and the music from accompanying band were performed.

after the Malay news on Suria i got ready for work.
