Qingming festival

清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂。
借问酒家何处有?牧童遥指杏花村。

Tomorrow is the official day of Qingming Festival, also known as Ancestors Day or Tomb Sweeping Day. We went to pray to my dead grandpa today, since it is the weekends. It rained so heavily this morning and made me think of this chinese poem. My chinese is limited, I can only remember the 1st phrase and had to google for the rest of the poem! :p

Unfortunately Qingming Festival is not a public holiday in Singapore (unlike Hong Kong or Taiwan) so we have to go to work tomorrow. With the weather being rainy and cooling, I just want to curl up in bed!
