Hungry Ghost Festival..=/~

It's the time of the year again where everyone dont linger around till late at night because the gates of hell has just open its door for the dead...actually, i didnt know that this festival had began...
I was driving past mentari and i saw this large performance stage built in the middle of the road...then when i sat down at the restoran with some friends,they told me about the opera performance for the dead and also the chairs that were not meant to be sit....he was explaining to me about the chairs that was placed there for the 'unseen' to sit...so this makes abit of sense =P...
Anyway, every year since i was young, i helped my mom to do offerings to our ancestors during the chinese ghost festival, you know when you were young u asked alot of questions...chinese believe that during this festival, 'ghosts' walks on our land freely and wander around for food...they seek for their lost one sometimes and during this period of time, alot of accidents happen...whether its superstitious or not, accidents happen more during chinese ghost festival everyyear...please try not to wander alone outside when its dark...dont go out so often unless its necessary =/...and keep in mind that ghost will not harm u if u dont do stupid things like lure them or anything like tat (that is if u believe in their existence)...i hope that i dont have to drive out alone at night ...
hah i still remember the days when there's hungry ghost festival, i'll sleep with my parents for awhole month.. >.< ..and i curi-curi drink 'tong-yun-' that was made as an offerings..lol....yumyum..miss those days..
anyway, hope u guys out there can be safe and take good care ok...cya laterz..time to oi-oi..
