i see dead people.

Last Wednesday, i was at Mid Valley to catch the premiere of Shinjuku Incident featuring Jackie Chan & Daniel Wu. To be honest, the show is ganas gila babi at some parts. The man of the night redeemed 2 free tickets sponsored by Angela while i thought, wow! Free tickets!

While waiting for admission, rows n rows of ppl stood among us, all with the free tickets as well lol. Then while finding for our seat, we found out that free tickets come with a catch. Our seats were rigghhhttttt 5 rows before the screen. Ouch. To add a bonus, its at the side of the cinema. More ouch. But hey! Free ticket right? I thought nvm.

Soon, the screen blinks into live.... ah i thought, the first ad or premier of the day. Who would have known a blardy horror ghost movie was the first premier screening. Plus, its not just an ordinary premier, it's a THAI horror movie "Coming Soon".

OMG WTFSHITBBQ! I practically looked down the entire way after first few minutes of seeing gruesome parts n couldn't shift my glued eye away from the screen!

Shitty hell the make up effect was like the first Exorcist movie, well almost ok. & what's worst is, to my right, the 2 seats were unoccupied by anyone. To my left however, i saw this girl practically cowering in her bf's arms, hiding her face away into his shoulders and arm pits.

ok ok, enough of that rubbish, but never will i wanna watch that movie lol.

---------------------

today, i just came back from Cheng Ming or how they call it... Cheng Beng? Yeah, so i went n pay respect to my late uncle. If he was still alive, this year he would be 47. I know its not a happy n nice thing to talk about dead people.

But boy....we bought some paper stuff to burn for him as offerings. This time, they bought new shoes, a nice big simple bungalow house, beers, soda drinks n some other stuffs. This year they didn't bought a car with the driver for him. I guess cos last year he already had the driver and the car. But this isn't really my beliefs, it's theirs. So .... when i payed respect ,i just said "uncle, hope you enjoy your new shoes n bungalows n Ur beers n if the rest of the ppl wanna share, its up to u lah".

With that, i put the joysticks in front of his name plate.

Standing at a cemetery isn't the most exciting thing to do, however it really makes u see ur life in perspective. Millions of thoughts rushed through my mind at that moment.

Although it has been 14 years since his passing, i really wondered how if he was still alive. That instead of the burial site, he is in the house with us, laughing away, perhaps with a pretty wife n kids as well. That every chinese new year he passes ang pao's to all the kids, that maybe he is a cool uncle ....he could discuss with nieces and nephews about latest things, what is cool and what is not.

Many things went through my mind at that time, but a few blinks and I was back to where i was, burial site.

If only his life didn't fade this way, that we don't have to weep for him like how we do now. If only he is still alive and walking, he would have led a good life now.

If only, but i guess it's not.
