Time to recap.
Yesterday's work at Low Yat was a boring one. First, I was 'lost' inside Low Yat. My agent told me the shop was located at 2nd floor, I went up and took me about 10 minutes to search the secluded shop lot but the staff there told me I went to the wrong one. When I was at the right place, it was already 11.30 a.m.. I stood the whole day but only managed to get one fella signed up. It was bad ok cause I got quite alot the week before at Times Square. So lazy to work but like what my friend told me, I'm making money. Yes, money motivates me.
I concluded that most of the people working in Low Yat are uncivilised. You know, those seafood type. Why? They smoked inside the building ok! The air ventilation was so bad I tell you. I was suffering inside. You smokers want to die then go die lah, please don't risk my life. Smoke to release stress? Bullshit. I'm proud to say I don't smoke. Very.
Anyway, I slept less than four hours only eh, woke up quite early today because it's the Qing Ming festival.
Tomb Sweeping Day and Clear Brightness Festival are the most common English translations of Qingming Festival. Tomb Sweeping Day is used in several English language newspapers published in the Republic of China.
For the Chinese, it is a day to remember and honour one's ancestors at grave sites. Young and old pray before the ancestors, sweep the tombs and offer food, tea, wine, chopsticks, (joss) paper accessories, and/or libation to the ancestors. The rites are very important to most Chinese and especially farmers. Some people carry willow branches with them on Qingming, or put willow branches on their gates and/or front doors. They think that willow branches help ward off the evil ghosts that wander on Qingming. Also on Qingming, people go on family outings, start the spring plowing, sing, dance, and Qingming is a time where young couples start courting.

Left home at about 7a.m. cause had to go Petaling Street to buy roasted duck. It was freaking jam lah, all thanks to the Am Bank's marathon (your sponsorship for the marathon worth it lah, at least I remembered it was Am Bank. Lolz). The jam story continued at KL-Seremban highway, somewhere near Nilai's pit stop where Nilai Memorial Park is located. Was stucked in the jam for about 25 minutes just to get in! My brother said it doesn't looked like a Qing Ming festival, more to like a carnival instead. Lolz! Reached home at 12 p.m. and I immediately hit my bed after I've taken my shower. Slept till 6 p.m.. Hehe!
Yes yes, time for me to search informations for my assignment. Haih, back to the same old routine.
