Cemeteries and sleep

Woke up early in the morning to go to Choa Chu Kang Christian Cemetery where my Kong Kong (Grandpa) and Poh Poh (Grandma) "reside". First my mom and I met up with my dad, Lynn, Ismon and Adam over at Woodlands MRT and then took the train to Yew Tee where we attempted to catch 2 cabs. I say attempted because we were in the taxi queue for at least 20 mins before 1 even cab and there were like 5 lots of people in front of us. In the end we decided to call for 2 cabs and trust me it was a lot faster than if we had stayed in the queue.

We went to see my Kong Kong first, as usually my sis and I will have to clean the tomb - cemeteries here are not like in say the US which only has a tombstone, here they actually cover the tomb too (a bit hard to explain but I think you get the idea right) - and tombstone, then we all placed our flowers and walked over to my Poh Poh's plot. Here is Singapore you can't buy plots in advance, you're sort of assigned them as and when you apply for them. Lucky for us my grandparents' graves are not that far apart, just a short walk. After paying our respects to my Poh Poh we headed back to the main road to head home. The walk from either of my grandparents' plots to the main road is about 5 mins but because of my mom it usually takes us about 3 times as long cos she has to stop every few metres to rest because she has no strength in her legs (which we repeatedly tell her is because of lack of exercise but she doesn't believe us). Just as we got to the main road a cab came out of the cemetery so my mom, my dad and I caught it to head home - Lynn, Ismon and Adam were going out for the day. My mom and I dropped my dad off at home first and then went on to our place. Of course as soon as we got them my mom sent me off to buy lunch for her.

Once I had my lunch I settled down to watch tv. I'm still having a bad cough so took my meds which promptly made me drowsy so I had a short nap in the afternoon while watching tv. And that is pretty much what I did for the rest of the day - eat, sleep, cough and watch tv. I was supposed to tidy up my room and set up my printer but just didn't have the energy to do so, so I guess I have to tide up my room when I get home this evening.

So how was your weekend?
