Annual Qing Ming tomb sweeping festival at a Ipoh cemetery.
In the old days I and my two brothers used to take turns to help touch up the tombstone inscriptions with new paint. Nowadays we oldies let the youngsters handle this part of the work.
Compared to last year this time I saw fewer devotees and vehicles in the cemetery. Perhaps many had already paid their respects to their ancestors last week.
Helen who married David in 2013, and now a member of the Ng family came to pay her respect at the family ancestral tombs for the first time.
This is also the first time that I and Anna drove our car from KL to Ipoh instead of going with Tuck Hong in his car. Tuck Hong suggested that we use our car as his was under repairs in a workshop following an auto accident.
