that was when my Uncle proposed that we go visit both my grandfathers graves and also my great grandma's and great grandpa's graves. I didn't have the chance to actually get out of the car and follow them to visit since i wasn't properly or decently attired. mother always said that we should respect the dead as we should respect the living. maybe the next time i should go and visit.
Being at the cemetery gave me a sense of calm. anyways, let me get to the funny part.
mother was searching for her late father's grave site and got confused. when father asked her where it is she kept saying the same thing. apparently she kept saying it was by the roadside near a big tree. here is how the convo went and by that time we already found the block and path number.
Father: mane kubur bapak?
Mother: kat sinilah, dekat dengan pokok besar dekat tepi jalan.
Father: eh aku tahulah kat tepi jalan, berape banyak kubur kat tepi jalan sekarang, aku nak tahu yang mane satu.
Mother: dekat dengan pokok besar. ( by this time i was already laughing in the car)
Father: Awak, berape banyak pokok besar yang ade kat sini?
that's when they decided to exit the car and search on foot. and after that father made fun off mother's blurness. there was that instance where i tricked father into leaving mother behind. she was putting her stuff into the boot 'cos it was kinda crowded in the car what with four people in the backseat, so as mother was busy at the boot of the car with her stuff. i told father to drive off slowly and leave mother behind. i thought he was in to the prank but apparently he really thought that mother was beside me in the car and so he drove off pretty fast, i had to stop him myself 'cos mother had this funny shocked face when i looked behind. i couldn't stop laughing.
it was a funny morning. i doubt that i'll stop teasing mother about the trees and roadside thingy.
