#3 A problem i have encountered and how i solved it

         Last Sunday,23/1/2011, I have to go to my grandmother's crematorium and pray.We left house at around 1pm and left for my grandfather's house where we were supposed to meet. Have I mentioned that the rain these two days are very heavy and have not stopped? On our way there, the rain was so heavy that there was heavy traffic almost everywhere in Singapore. A usual 45 minutes ride would bring us there but this time it took us an hour and a half to reach our destination . Upon reaching the house, our grandfather called us to get there straight as to make it more convenient for everyone. It was another 30 minute ride before we reach the crematorium. By the time we were there, our relatives were there preparing all the items needed. The praying procedure was long but we managed to pass time. After praying, we had to go and burn the incense paper. This was the worst part as the heavy rain continued to pour down so the adults sacrificed themselves and went to burn the papers without us. After burning the incense papers, the adults came back soaking wet. They dried themselves a bit and we all parted ways to enjoy the later part of the day as a family. For my family, we went to my grandmother's house(Paternal's side) to visit my grandmother who had fell about 2 weeks ago and is very weak. Overall for today, the rain was a bit problem but it is inevitable so we would just have to live with it.
