i officially announce that the english translation of qing ming jie is also known as the global warming festival!
reasoning is simple.
on qing ming jie, ppl buy large amounts of joss sticks, insense paper, and other paper made items to take to the temple.
since cemeteries take up a large space in the puiny singapore, there is less space to burn stuff so the amount of green house effect at cemeteries can't be compared to the temple, although some ppl still do it.
so u go to the temple,
encountering a 2hr traffic jam,
finally getting a parking lot after many fruitless attempts to snatch a lot or going in circles, unloading the cause of the global warming(paper stuff),
getting squished in the midst of a huge crowd of ppl who are doing the same as u,
snatch tables from other ppl to start laying out the stuff.
once the candle is lit, it is already the start of the global warming festival.
u light many many many joss sticks and then pray,
then take the paper stuff to the
heart of global warming.which is obviously the gigantic incinerator that's burns everything thrown into it.
even if u wanna view the urns, u still have to experiance a human jam, and it sucks.
and when the whole thing ends, well at least for me,
you leave the sacred festival ground smelling like what you burnt,
and you realise all the moisture in your body is all gone because it has all been perspired out.
if one temple already has this kinda effect,
times it by the no. of temples having the the same thing,
times the no. of days they carry out this festival,
times the no.of singapores that make up other countries who does the same.
I wonder how long the world is gonna last...
end of my crapping. I got gifts from my uncle whom i nvr seen in my life.
yay.
tmr got physics test, and i noe tt im a physics sucker.
at least i finished my hw thanks to the study outing to NBL with shiling,yintong,crystal and xiwen (:
