Last night, I drove another friend to the south western part of Penang. It took us about 45 minutes of slow driving through hilly terrain.

Another funeral … and boy the place sure is faaarrr. The usual routine. Pay respects to the deceased. Then pay the “summon” and write down my name on the condolences book.

This time around, things were a bit more open. On our table were the usual drinking water, peanuts, fried mee, bong, sweets with red string tied to them and of course pot.

It went a few rounds and I couldn’t help but notice a lady that couldn’t stop looking at us. More people arrived and many more got lost. The venue was pretty hard to find.

After about 1 hour, I got up and signaled my friend to leave. We waved a few hands and made off. The drive back was surprisingly fast.

What is the weirdest funeral you’ve been to? I’ve heard of one which the dead woke up and scared the shit outta everyone, lived another 5 years and really died after that.
