`[LOVE doesn't make the world go round love makes the ride worthwhile]

I am presently at my aunt's house together with my mother and my sister as we plan to go together to the 'Bright Hill Temple' early tomorrow morning to commemorate the 'Ching Ming Festival'. Ching Ming Festival is also known as "Remembrance of Ancestors Day" or 'GraveSweeping Day'. This is a day when Chinese families visit their ancestors or relatives' graves. They usually burn incense sticks, joss sticks and paper offerings like paper money and paper clothes and accessories as it is believed that their relatives will receive the goods and 'money' this way. Food and wine are offered during the ceremony. I think that it is a good festival as it helps us to remember our loved ones even though they have passed away.
