Fireworks

Today was a beautiful day.

Today is the day that we went to collect mom's ashes. It's as if everything was planned perfectly. Only after we finished scattering the ashes into the sea, then only it rained. And coincidentally, they set up tents along gurney drive for some carnival with stalls... some celebration.....
how appropriate, my mom has always enjoyed such gaiety and festivities.

In the evening, Eng Hoe's family invited me to join them for dinner. Such a warm family.

Back to the tents along Gurney Drive, at night, one of the bands was playing one of my favourite Beyond songs, Zhen De Ai Ni (aka song for mother), the title meaning I Really Love You. And right after that, there was the most beautiful fireworks i've ever seen.

I'd like to take it as a sign, as if to remind me that the times that I had with my mom were beautiful like the fireworks too. And like the fireworks, it's beautiful while it lasts and all good things must come to an end. And like fireworks, it's a symbol for celebration for a wonderful show and a celebration for new beginnings.
Hahah I am sounding poetic like Thich Nhat Hanh :)
