But I thought they removed all the remains from that cemetery? A big deal in the news some time back?
Hm... Qing Ming quite late this year. Normally in March. But I don't normally go. Leave that duty to DH. DC and I stay at home.
Not true. It has always been 1st week of April so far if my memory is rite.
If not, it will be in late March. -

Qing Ming is a solar festival and is always on 4 or 5 April. -
This is what happens when a person doesn’t actively participate. DH will just tell me he will be making his round on a particular weekend and that’s all the info I have.

april to june is generally a hot period in Singapore.
my mum just commented on her confinement period when she had me.

True. My family doesn't participate either, and neither do my in-laws, so I never noticed earlier. But I lived in China for years and that's when I realised that it's at the same time every year, especially after it became a public holiday! -

Yes, Qing Ming normally falls ard 5th April. But the shao mu etc can be done +/- 2 weeks from the actual date. At least this is what's practised in our family. -

Is your confinement going to be really strict? Think in this kind of hot spell, it's impossible to do without fan at least.
Anyway, my confinement 16 years ago I slept in air-con room cos that's a bad haze year, iirc. -
