Funerals mark the final days of someone’s visibility to the world. After this, the deceased will only be forever in the hearts and minds of the bereaved family and friends. The death of someone is not celebrated but his/her life. During a funeral, there are many beliefs and superstitions that were formulated a very long time ago but are still evident and practiced until today. Singaporeans are very much inclined to such superstitions that’s why it is important to know them before attending a funeral to avoid causing any scene or disappointment from the family and other guests.
One tradition that has been very active and followed by many is the giving of money or donation when one attends a funeral. Is it really necessary? If the family is already rich, are guests still required to share something monetary? Well, the answer is no. If you are not that superstitious and you don’t believe in many beliefs and practices, giving money at a funeral will be the last thing in your mind. Nobody is obliged to give as funeral donations must be in kind and voluntary. No one has ever asked for money in a funeral as it is rude and disrespectful to the consent of the person being asked for money.
On the other hand, since Singaporeans are very much inclined to this tradition, they plan on what or how much to give prior to going to the funeral. Organizing a funeral can be very costly to the family especially if the deceased has incurred charges in the hospital. These funeral donations can be a very big help to cover up some of the expenses and will definitely lift some weight from the shoulders of the family for their expenses.
Singaporeans often call funeral donations in monetary value as “Pek Kim”. This phrase means “white gold” – a direct representation that it has value from good faith. From the moment a visitor enters the entrance of the wake, he/she is welcomed by a counter with a book is placed on it. This book is where the visitor can write down their name together with the amount of donation that he/she gave. Usually, someone from the family of the deceased is waiting around this area to receive the donations.
The donations may be placed in a white envelope. But if you don’t have any, you can just give the monetary amount directly to the collector. As we come in the digital age, some wakes accept digital money transfer using apps from their mobile phone. A QR code may be placed in the book if this comes into consideration. When it comes to the amount, there is usually no rules in this. However, traditional people often follow the Chinese luck rule in numbers as they believe that giving an amount with a lucky number in it can give good luck to the recipient as well as to the giver.
Even numbers in Chinese belief are very lucky and auspicious. However, since a funeral is not an auspicious event, the amount of money to be considered can be in odd numbers. This counters the good luck that even numbers bring. Odd numbers which include 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, can be used as the initial number of the amount. The best and most accepted amount would be $30 and it considered as the minimum amount to give as funeral donation.
If the visitor has a lot of means, he can add more zeros to the odd number. Even as many as he can if he is really that generous! This amount is also called bai jin as it is given in white envelopes. The collected pek kim will be very helpful to the family and their funeral expenses that go higher and higher as years go by.
If the family happens to be financially capable and are requesting for non-monetary donations to be given to their chosen charity, then by all means, you must follow it. This charity is probably a beneficiary of the deceased when he/she is still alive and the family would want to continue his/her legacy of sharing blessings to the less privileged. Some even decide to just give other kinds of donations like sympathy flowers, food, and even memorial gifts to commemorate the life of the deceased.
The amount of money to be given can also be decided according to the relationship of the visitor to the deceased and their closeness to each other’s families. If you have known the deceased very well and their family as well, might as well give a good amount as their family can remember this good deed for the rest of their lives. If the deceased is not very much familiar or just an acquaintance, a reasonable amount will be acceptable, and you may just leave the bigger amounts to their close family and friends.
This tradition has been around since the Jin dynasty and is practiced as a way of giving respect to the deceased and a manner of help to the bereaved family. Placing the donations in a white envelope is practiced as white is the mourning color in Chinese tradition – in contrast to the lucky color red which denotes happiness and prosperity. In China, the usual amount given as funeral donation is 101 yuan – still an odd number as per the usual practice.
If someone who died became a huge part of your life, it is just right to pay good riddance and respect to them and celebrate their life and contributions to the world. Giving money is a sign of paying gratitude to the many moments and memories that the deceased has shared with you. That’s why the amount of money you should give in a funeral must depend very well on your closeness to the deceased but you must also consider your personal financial status. No matter the amount, the mere fact that you are there to mourn and to give your condolences is already enough.
In fact, this is just taking the appearance as reality, so the quantum theory must be the same In order to verify this conjecture and stabilize the foundation of magic that is about to collapse, these fifteen great wizards who have made great achievements in the microscopic field decided to re improve the double slit interference experiment.
Lift it up Huge waves tens of meters high surged up on the sea, rolling and rushing, sweeping over in a devastating manner, trying to destroy the entire fleet in one breath The terrifying legendary magic made the wizards in the fleet suddenly change their expressions, but they still quickly organized resistance.
It not only means that electrons are conscious and aware of their perceptions, but also have some degree of vision.But
why do you want to become a wizard End of Chapter During the time when she left Harbor Town, Ivina experienced confusion and uncertainty, and also encountered many dangers.
Of course, that would not necessarily be the case if the crow had the ability to fly out across the force field and electromagnetic protection he had set up.He only wants to capture and dismember it and replenish the material and energy of this plane to other planes.
However, Linn did not participate, but devoted all his energy to the development of new magic.That s obviously what the elements want Although the wizards present were all elites recognized by the parliament and had made great contributions in the subsequent defense of the royal capital, the possibility of betrayal was slim, but as long as there was no such possibility, they had to guard against it.
The inside of the royal capital is still filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and traces of damage can be seen everywhere.Hit by a gun, it was dismembered into the most basic microscopic particle form under ultra high temperatures of tens of billions of degrees.
In the end, even He ran away inexplicably. And this is the only way to threaten Ella at the moment Damn it, be careful, the opponent suddenly increased his strength.life. The harvest has begun One after another, figures appeared in the heaven that was originally on the verge of collapse.
The terrifying pressure made the full moon behind Ella begin to tremble unsteadily.Del moved carefully, not daring to damage or step on the papers covered with calculations.
Obvious cracks appeared on it, but they were quickly repaired.There is no room for two powerful galaxy level civilizations in this area.
Yes, sooner rather than later, there shouldn t be many garrison in the City of Fire and Oil right now.Its back was covered with strange mottled patterns, and its huge arthropod like legs were like twitching
The strings vibrated in the web of shadows, and the invisible power was transmitted to Lin En s body through the links of the threads.
They even spoke out of the blue, which really made people confused
Li Linn soon discovered that In addition to the similarities between piloting a fighter jet and an airship, it is very agile and a masterpiece at all.However, their bodies were completely composed of magical energy, and the severed parts were quickly repaired.
Together. He is turning himself into a special atom, the field is the range of the probability cloud, the soul is the most mysterious and uncertain electron, and the godhead is the nucleus that binds the electron.It seems that Speaker Harov has taken over Raphael s responsibility.
The road is being built Lynn, Rafael, Arad and Sanchez just waited quietly, with the roar of machines ringing in their ears.The attendant withdrew very respectfully. The wait did not last long.
Fortunately, the thousand year rule of the empire and the church is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Seeing Lin s expression, Vittorio realized that he had misunderstood, and immediately frowned and looked at the brown haired girl.
If he remembered correctly, many wizards from the Nature Conservation Association had applied for research projects on exotic marine ecology.As for the light behind them, because the flying speed is slower than the spacecraft, it cannot catch up with them at all, and the projection screen will become pitch black.
Although the outer shell of this spacecraft is made of special metal and can even withstand a nuclear explosion at close range, it still has an upper limit and cannot be completely blocked.Immediately afterwards, the roars of the giant skeletal dragon resounded in the dark green mist.
There are only five of us plus Vittorio and the newly promoted Anthony, and I m afraid the number is far from enough, Linn shook his head and said.The airship landed slowly in the City of Fire and Oil.
So this requires a new equation of space curvature per second to complete the calculation requirements.Especially the magic named Skyfall by the wizards, its destructive power can only be described as terrifying.
3 seconds to cross a distance of 100,000 kilometers The three Positron Cannons soon collided with the electromagnetic barrier tens of kilometers thick again
The moment the two sides collided, Ella s expression suddenly changed.The person who wrote the letter is naturally the person who started this magic storm, the famous magic star, and the title of this paper is The World of Probability Quantum Mechanics In this paper, Linn explained in detail what probability is, and re improved the internal structure model of the elements.
However, it is obvious that this blow did not have the desired effect.The next moment, the wooden tabletop immediately became as soft as plasticine.
Unless something big happens or someone calls his name, he can sense it and project his consciousness.According to inspection, this is an energy generator used to create a protective energy shield for the spacecraft.
The effect is explosive Anyway, after seeing the devastating scene of the Explosive Dragon, many people felt that the sky was clear, the rain stopped, and I can do it again.This spider lair is a test in itself. They don t need to deal with all the spiders.
At this time, the war machinery has been almost destroyed, and it is time to take action.We can t get close, but a large number of demons are refreshing and gathering inside Continue to monitor the territory and report any news as soon as possible After listening to the report, Zhao Hao issued follow up orders.
You can see this just by looking at other people s expressions.If the alchemist profession did not require too much talent and resources, it would definitely be the strongest profession, bar none.
Death canopy Zhao Hao cast this auxiliary spell. It was originally a radius of 162 meters, but with the blessing of the Book of Death, an epic piece of equipment, the spell effect doubled, directly extending the coverage area to a radius of more than 200 meters.The first is to flood everything with nearly endless cannon fodder demons, even if they fail to succeed, they can still fill the trap.
Of course Zhao Hao was not seeking death, but wanted to know the properties of these liquids.Of course, there are also side purposes, such as clearing the way for the half elves to leave and plundering the treasures recovered for Turing.
But now the Storm Territory is in urgent need of manpower, so the Vikings, a race that is good at fighting and sailing, naturally entered his field of vision.And it was this plague that killed countless forces.
Soon, Li Keke sent a reply. Yu Shixian No problem, I will make arrangements immediately and won t let anyone in the Tianhai Alliance know.After everyone entered the mage tower, the alchemy puppet butler followed.
It s okay, you don t have to worry about me, and if there is no chaos, how will the Storm Leader have a chance to rise, and how will you have a chance to take revenge, right Zhao Hao stated his attitude directly.Therefore, even if the two of them were pressed and beaten, the other party would not dare to ignore them and break through.
Qin Hu and Qin An shrank against the wind, ran out of the camp, and ran forward through the thick snow.Just like the champion level unit in the fortress camp, the ultimate nine headed monster, if it is broken down, it can be divided into beasts.
Therefore, all momentum is locked on Archimonde. Not to mention taking away the divine body, the other party couldn t even take away the divine fire in his hand easily.After Hanyue Rose calmed down, Zhao Hao continued Load all the ores mined during this period into the truck, and I will lead the legion to escort them to Eagle Claw City Now it is impossible to enter Eagle Claw City without the protection of the legion.
Spell casters are all scholars , so at least they have to live up to their reputation.In other words, even if it is not equipped with a treasure, it can be used directly as a prop to increase the field of vision five times.
One minute later, the career switch was successful.But judging from the dragon s endurance, the winner will not be determined in a short time.
It has to be said that the Viking warriors at this time are still far away from becoming the core force.But there are more than just the two of them on the battlefield.
Destroy everything This can only be used to describe the knight in charge.Of course he is not worried that the other party will attack him.
At this time, Zhao Hao didn t know the actions of the two men.Although the number and combat effectiveness of the high level undead were not as good as those of the adventurers, with the help of the endless undead army, they still managed to block the attack.
The marksman and priest of the Seventh Legion, it is because the leading hero does not have the battle skill of ballistics and cannot use projectiles, so Gog can get close through the cover of the cannon fodder demon, and then use fireballs to cause damage.Perhaps no one expected that this alchemist with so many cards would die in such a miserable way.
That s right, I ll find someone to mine while I m stationed.Uh huh Gray white fog quickly enveloped the surrounding large swamp area.
Is there any remaining strength in Eagle Claw City.Cross cut The dazzling cross shaped sword energy tore through the space and chopped into pieces a dozen high level undead surrounding him, including a bone dragon.
The appearance of this batch of supplies can give him some relief.Even Freya s golden realm couldn t be forced out, and Feida s performance was extremely conspicuous.
If it were built by manpower, the consumption would probably be less than a few tenths.Therefore, Zhao Hao was not in a hurry and was ready to rest here while waiting for an opportunity before taking action.
How could anyone be willing to get close to him. Let s go Although Turing s voice was calm, there was an indescribable expectation and excitement.Then a disaster happened As for Princess Chang an, it s even simpler.
Even the fifth level troops in this camp would cost more than 4 million without doubling the contribution value.Yes, they all now belong to the Dark Scale Tribe under your command, sir Winnie was not proud of harvesting so many tribesmen in one go.
If Zhao Hao could really save his people, it would be difficult to disobey him.Now you understand why few lords will use resources to build in the later period, right.
This was for Xingyu Ling to see. If it were other partners, he might be a little careful, but if it was the Star Talk Business Group, he could not wait to add a few more deals to give the other party some benefits.

Funds are used for development. In addition to the layout of the upstream end of the industry, the layout of the downstream terminal is also continuing to advance, including the logistics link.How much has your merit increased today Tian Jiayi quickly said I realized that Fang Hong s strategy of linking the Galaxy Family Bucket with it is very clever, and the real genius is that even if people don t donate money directly, in order to save credit rating points By consuming various products from Qunxing FamilyMart, the income of Qunxing Capital s major subsidiaries will rise, and the overall assets of Qunxing Capital will also follow suit.

Because after 2017, America began to enter a series of suppression, especially in the high tech field.Quantum Beat s largest shareholder is Qunxing Capital If Stars Capital mistakenly believed that Goose Factory was behind it to damage the reputation of the founder of Stars Capital, and was misjudged by Stars Capital and retaliated crazily, what if it snowed heavily in June and turned into a big grievance Before Fang Hong or Qunxing Capital came out to respond to public opinion, Goose Factory responded at the speed of light.
However, Ma Gaoyuan still has a non compete agreement for one and a half months, so this problem is not a big problem.Fang Hong sat aside and ordered in an orderly manner.
Come and ambush them first. If you bet correctly, you can directly take off vertically on the spot.There are also different opinions on the Internet. Some people say that God K does not exist at all, some say that God K is an old man, some say that God K is not a person but an organization
Netizens are having fun discussing it. For a while, who God K was became an unsolved mystery.
This is a map perfected by the monks in our clan. It covers information as far as ten thousand miles away The old monk took down the book and looked at Li Shiming with a look in his eyes that told him he knew what he was doing.Looking at the other nine people, four teenagers were in a normal mood, and the other five teenagers were afraid that it would be difficult for them to recover in the future.
The inner energy stirred wildly in his body, trying to expel the toxins from his body, but he didn t even know what the poison was, and he had no idea how to deal with it.In the past life, a drug could cure the symptomatic disease with only a few milligrams when it was first introduced.
More than fifty chicken hen beads were shelled and turned into a little liquid abrin.The lifespan of a monk in the foundation building stage is at least two hundred years.
He doesn t want to die or disappear from this world, so his only option is to seize his body.Although most spirit beasts do not use weapons, some of their own organs are natural weapons.
I m going to take action with all my strength, I can t let you grow Buddha Jueyuan said in a deep voice with his hands clasped together.As Elder Lu approached, he discovered the existence of the formation.
He couldn t help but turn his head to look at Elder Yin inexplicably.When the soul piercing needle penetrates into a monk s body, it will continuously cause pain to the soul.
He had too much faith in the defensive array before.Since the Seven Sects live here, they cannot understand what is happening across the sea.
Li Shiming took out nine middle grade spiritual stones and placed them in the formation.Visualization is the realization of something in consciousness, which is accomplished by the power of the mind.
After Li Shiming walked out of the spirit detection array, a young man walked in.The direction in which Li Shiming flew back was in direct contact with the four foundation building monks.
Beside the carriage were four masters on horseback for protection.The seven golden elixir monks sent reinforcement signals to their respective sects.
The Northern Shu monk who was targeted by Li Shiming was also eyeing Li Shiming.With the current development speed of Yun s Trading Company, in a while, even if other trading houses gain mutual respect from thousands of miles away , they will not be able to shake the dominance of Yun s Trading Company
Li Shiming had never thought that Yun s Trading Company would be so sophisticated and sophisticated, and he was even more astonished in terms of the pricing of Mutual Views from Thousands of Miles.
She and Yin Shilan lived in different places, but the two sisters met often.Coupled with the constant harassment from the Xuanming Sect s foundation building monks, the foundation building battle in the sky became stalemate.
He knew better than a non alchemist how difficult it was.He thought of Master Ma, and it seemed that he had to visit Master Ma.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, his spirit was naturally stronger than that of ordinary monks.He had a clear understanding of his own strength. He could brag, but when it came to fighting, he still relied on his strength.
Under the cover of the sea of thunder and lightning, the slow flying sword quickly arrived in front of the furious Monkey King.He sensed what he had harvested. There were at least tens of thousands of corpses of sea beasts, including no less than a thousand corpses of advanced first order sea beasts.
Li Shiming did not expect that Gu Jia valued the status of a monk more than him.Although he has the last desperate idea, there is still a chance to use the Blue Kite Wooden Sword Next, his first choice is to survive.
In the future, as he continues to use the Finding Point to strengthen his connection with the low grade long sword instrument, his relationship with the low grade long sword instrument will also increase.Li Shiming woke up from the magical scene of releasing the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique , and he looked at the area that was watered.
In just two breaths of time, the Gale Golden Light Sword slashed down five times in a row with terrifying sword intent.I believe that after arriving at the sect, he will be able to find a way to use spiritual stones to convert them into electricity.
Although it is difficult to detect the emotions of the golden elixir monk, by observing Master Ma s facial expression, IBMz15 concluded that Master Ma did not have any malicious intentions.The foundation building monk had also lived for a hundred years.
Fortunately, monks don t have to walk, otherwise it would still be troublesome to get in and out of the cave.That monk returned to the secular world and left behind descendants.
An elixir with purple aura came into view. When he saw the elixir, he couldn t help but take a breath.The roots that originally grabbed the rock immediately left the rock under the light touch of the jade sword and fell into the jade box.
In the past, Li Shiming would still find these minor injuries that could not be repaired.There was about 150 meters between the two, and the two sides fell into a confrontation.
He had no other way to deal with the unexpected appearance of the clone.Although he did not develop spiritual thoughts, Li Yuanba also cultivated spiritual thoughts during the Qi Refining Stage.
Neither the mortal Hao Jin nor the monk at the third level of Qi Refining were wrapped in the scorching flames without the slightest resistance.The truly powerful foundation building monks have all entered the inner sect, so there are monks who take the initiative to do second and third level tasks.
But looking at the time, I can only wait until noon tomorrow to contact him through the identity jade plate.
