~~~ [bonrya] A Photo A Day 2013 ~~~


During the recent Qing Ming month prayers, I recently got back in touch with a long lost grand uncle that I never knew existed; we reconnected after my grandma's passing. One of her last wishes was that we continue maintaining our family grave. I found out through this uncle that we actually had a family grave in Bukit Brown. Turns out, my family arrived in Singapore in the late 1800s! My great great great grandma first came to Singapore from Shantou, China when she was just 18, and settled down in the Toa Payoh area.

Knowing this, I couldn't miss the chance to pay my respects at our family grave.

Not forgetting to bring along my camera to document this occasion as well... Just some mediocre shots of my little day trip to Bukit Brown:


Day 112: The caretaker


Day 113: Lighting the incense


Day 114: Prayer offerings
 

Just returned from a long trip :bsmilie: for my personal safety, please don't ask me where. :sweatsm:

Transitioning between jobs now, hope that everything will improve this year!

Catching up from the 10th of may if you all don't mind!


Day 130: silence is easy
 


Day 131: sleep

I have the clear and super sharp version of this picture too; but it was boring. :o
 


Day 134: crossing

Shimmering night lights after the rain. It was depressing but so fascinating to look at.
 


Day 135: bent

sorry about the shaky picture, my shaking hands kind of ruined it.

what struck me about this guy was that he was a 30 something doing his English homework on the slimy fish market floor. I thought that was really admirable.

So just sharing that even though it's not the best picture (or even a picture at all). :sweatsm:
