It's a different sort of cny eve without mil. We went to the cemetary this morning. The tombstone is ready.
After placing flowers at her tomb, we visited fil, KPing and the Lim grandparents' tombs. We also stopped at some old tombs belonging to fallen British soldiers during the emergency. Kids found it fascinating. Will bring them to visit the Jewish cemetary in Penang one day. It is even older....from the days of Francis Light.
I cooked goh hoon/sticky noodles for lunch. My turn to do this as mil is no longer around to cook it. The noodles that stick the family together. KH joined us for lunch.
I am not that great a cook. Cooking up a meal consisting of sharks fin, fish maw, etc is impossible for me. So we went to Min Kok for dinner. We were seated at table 135 and we have to finish by 7 to allow the next group of diners to come in. Looks like eating out on eve is becoming popular. I think women of my generation are no longer like my mil's generation.
Above is picture of yee sang. Good. Better than the one we bought from Fei Zhai.

After dinner, Ah Yean, Jet and KH congregated in my house for a game of cards. Good to see them play and hear them laugh. It's been so quiet and melancholic for me the whole day.
