我与众不同的家庭

my family is different from normal families
for those of you who don't know,
my house has a 神坛,my dad is a 乩童
many people doubt this part of taoism/buddhism,
maybe because it's rather unimaginable?
but i can guarantee that my dad's is true,
because we don't get paid at all..
if you want to ask for help,
you dun have to pay anything at all.. =)
yes, there are different kinds.. =X

growing up in a family like this,
childhood memories are special,
religion events are important too..
it's been a habit that every year, there'll be regular religion events,
and it's like, although the house will turn messy,
there'd be loads of ppl in and out,
it would get hazy because of the burning of joss stick,
but, it has become part of my life that i grew up with..
and because of these,
i had experienced loads of things that others would never get to experience,
subconsciously, both Jie and i,
we would understand stuff that kids of my dad's frens could never understand,
we somehow knew when not to bug my parents,
and we weren't really sticky kids who can't leave our parents' sides,
we somehow are more independent,
compared to other kids,
probably because we grew up admist all the religious influence?
haha..

soon, monday,
actually i'm not too sure,
but i think religion events and practices would be taken down a notch or two,
and things won't be the same anymore..
no more busy friday nights at home,
no more holding of major religion events,
i do hope that it wouldn't come to an end,
currently, i'm not exactly sure whether it will or not,
but then,
i seriously can't imagine life without all these things..
it'd be too much, too sudden..
it's rather sad,
in a way..
actually, while thinking of these things,
while typing this post,
i feel like crying..
it's weird,
but really,

no matter what,
the moment monday's 0000 hours comes,
i'm gonna 拜拜
because, it might just be the last time,
for the major event..
