Hungry Ghost Festival

Yesterday, i was suddenly informed that im off today... yes, im off !!! Hmm ... off (lor) , better than no off day.
Last night , my dear was doing his work till abt 3am (Sayang) ... but i was asleep at around 12.30am, but strange, today my bones are aching too. Going to catch some sleep later in the afternoon ...

Today is "Hungry Ghost Festival" ... means all the hungry ghosts will be out this month, don't stay out late and don't step on the ashes on the floor.Believe it or not, better don't do it ...Mummy will also be doing some praying today.Lots of "GeTai" going on this month (mummy's favourite), but now that she's old, she seldom watch already... Im waiting for the sg movie "811"'s vcd, buying it for mummy to watch coz its mainly in Hokkien n Madarin, guess she will love it.

When i was a little girl, mummy used to bring me to watch "GeTai" and eat the "7th month " dinner... But somehow i don't like it coz its too noisy.She's got many dinners to attend this month (busy woman), n the Must Buy thingy is the " MI TONG" ( Pail full of rice)... To her, its a significance of having rice to eat throughout the year n "Bao Ping An" for the family, so i will see the pail of rice every year. (Though the pail of rice costs few hundred bucks) . I was like "WOWWWWW MUMMY!! Its so EXPENSIVE !!!!! (Me nearly fainted) but she said its kinda traditon to her, so never mind (lah). To others this seem " ridiculous" paying so much for a pail of rice, but as long as she felt "safer" with peace in her mind, let her be (lor)..."Da Ji Da Li" !!
