  Today I went tomb sweeping. ( sau mu) and then after prayers my relatives all started flipping coins and asking questions....
  
  I want to ask. Why flip coins and ask questions?
  
  ANd what do people usually ask?
  
  Ever asked other questions besides " jiak bah buay" and Jiak liao buay" not?

  Flip coins to ask if they finish eating... but how to tell I don't know.
  
  Ask questions is common lah... you know Chinese ma... always like to ask questions, especially when they long time no see.
  
  They don't ask questions just because they need to see them... like that will tio chua...
