		<description><![CDATA[Subsequent to my memory post about The Smokehouse Hotel &#38; Restaurant last week, I decided to write a long post of the story of the Smokehouse Hotel Cameron Highlands. The story appears to be interesting to me but might be boring to you. Depend on how bored you&#8217;re to read a documentary post to kill time. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Smokehouse Hotel was opened during Christmas of 1937 by the Englishman Mr. Douglas Warin. The hotel fared well until the Japanese occupation during the Second World War. During the occupation, the premises were used as an Officers&#8217; mess for the Imperial Japanese Army.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I decided to blog about my grandpa&#8217;s funeral ceremony as Chinese funeral custom is one of the important and distinctive cultures in Malaysia. Unfortunately in this modern era, Chinese traditional funeral customs have been eventually simplified over the years due to the complexity of the rules and ceremony. Many modern people would not follow the exact customs anymore as it is too hassle and time consuming, let alone the humongous expenses for the ceremony. Nonetheless, its spiritual rituals and ceremony shouldn&#8217;t be forgotten and neglected. Due to too much information to share for the whole process, I will break [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been raining regularly lately implies that this is the time again for the celebration of the nine emperors gods (known as &#8220;Jiu Wang Ye 九王爷&#8221; in Singapore and Malaysia) festival. The &#8220;Jiu Wang Ye&#8221; festival is one of the renowned festivals in Malaysia that is celebrated yearly starts from the last day (28th or 29th) of the eight Chinese lunar month to the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. The nine emperors gods actually refers to the &#8221; Jiu Huang Da Di 九皇大帝&#8221; (The Nine Great Emperors) in the Taoist deities system (Taoist Patheon). The birth of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finally, this is the last episode of my grandpa&#8217;s funeral. Took me so long to accomplish the writing of whole process. After the procession, the buses took us to the cremation center. Before cremation, all the guests were served with roast pigs and food for lunch. After lunch, we prayed again before the cremation. We burnt the paper bridge so that my grandpa would cross the bridge smoothly into the spiritual world. After the cremation, we went back to my uncle&#8217;s house for a short rest while waiting for the body to be completely cremated. All the leftover food from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the fourth day of the funeral, we were ready for the cremation ritual. It was a big day that&#8217;s why you can see 3 gigantic roasted pigs were laid on the table. Don&#8217;t know why Chinese hate pig so much. The pigs must sacrifice their lives for any big occasion that the Chinese have. Taoist priests all were nicely dressed to show the respect to the ritual. The ceremony took one hour and it was the only ceremony that my grandpa&#8217;s friends and other non-immediate family members could join the praying ceremony. My dad dressed up quite funny and [...]]]></description>
