Goodbye to Bangzhi's Ah Ma

Went to bangzhi's grandma's wake on monday night, his grandma has peacefully passed on after a long fight with mr cancer. I was at the wake on sunday too but didn't bring along my camera cos i tot there won't be anything interesting to shoot at a wake. But i was wrong... Firstly, bangzhi has got 2 very cute cousins who are hyperactive, even though a wake is a solemn event, the 2 innocent kids just ran around with their own self-made props and created quite a scene at singapore casket.

When they see me with a camera, they are totally not camera shy, they will start to pose and smile, here they are in their own self-made "cars", there's even a headlight... haha

Throughout my whole stay, they were constantly active and enjoying each other's company, playing with the flowers from the wreaths and anything they can find lying aroundAnd finally, he got tired.....

There was this shot that i took that i like very much. When darren was holding a signboard from one of the wreath and playing with it, i caught this shot, which i think really shows the innocence of a kid. Do you think that he actually knows that his grandma has just passed away? what do you think kids understand about death? Ripple actually told me that he will walk to the coffin and try to talk to his Ah Ma at times.

All the girls went crazy with they are allowed to keep that flowers from the wreaths because that was the last night and the wreaths will be thrown away anyway, so ripple took this chance to pick as many nice fresh flowers as she could
