running... through a cemetery.
eeek... my pontianak-attracting flower!
well, it was me who was running. and nope, i wasnt being chased by ghosts with british accents or anything. i was just searching for my cousin and uncle. at first, it was my cousin who went looking for his dad. but somehow, they both wandered to some place in the cemetery where even my aunt's shrieks and shouts couldnt reach them. so my mum told me to go and find them. i ran and ran. while i was running, i imagined i was in a scene where the victim was about to be gobbled up by some really ugly zombies. occasional childish-ness doesnt hurt right? so you're wondering what the heck we were doing in a protestant cemetery? oh nothing really. we just wanted to go dig up some british bones and burn them with salt. we were just passing by and thought we would have some fun. impulsive, isnt it?
before that cheerful cemetery visit, we went for a tour in cheong fatt tze mansion. you know, the indigo blue building near st. xavier's? yep, we went there... for the tour. it's a bit embarrassing when penangites like my mother, aunt and i dont bother about one of our state's most famous heritage sites. i mean, penangites have no reason not to know about their very own heritage, right? i must admit that the latter half of the tour was quite boring but the architecture was amazing. the traditional chinese elements within the house were so... traditional. it was like being transported back into the late 1800s and early 1900s. lovely. do visit it if you have the chance, especially you penangites. shame on you.
