上个周末，带上我家的“毛孩”往东海岸公园散步，看海。
它尽情的逛，虽然偶尔会带点怯意，但多的是惬意。
Our dog, Mantis, went for a stroll along East Coast Park one week ago.
Albeit slightly apprehensive at times, he seemed to enjoy the walk most of the time. He has been with us for almost 1 1/2 year...
这次除了祭拜父亲，也祭拜去年刚往生的母亲。
乘搭亚航飞往槟城。班机延迟了一个小时多。原本预期7点半左右抵达槟城，结果弄到八点半才抵达。过了关卡步出机场时已经是9点了。与往常一样，还是我的妹妹丽琴接我会高渊去。
清明当天，到坟墓去祭拜。过后，顺道在太平附近买了几包南洋咖啡粉。
It is this time of the year for QingMing (aka Tomb Visit and Prayer). My father has passed on many years ago, whilst my mother just passed on one year ago. Both were buried in the same place.
My dad's death came as a surprise to me. But he passed on without going through much suffering, from a heart attack (stayed in hospital for a few days before succumbing). My mother has been incapacitated and bedridden for a few months before succumbing. I view her passing on as a relief from physical suffering. Both of them passed on around 80 years of age. All of us (their children) still have fond memories of them... but death is an inevitable in our circle of life! Before long, it will be our turn...
