August 1. Here come again for Ghost month for Singapore. The history says that the Gate of Hell is opened and ghosts are set to be free to come to the earth.
At that time, people offers candles, fruit, paper money and even paper car like properties and burnt it so that those ghosts will have those kinds of food,properties.
People are very careful in this month. They even careful while they pass by the pedestrians road that a lot of things are burnt for those hungry ghost. If they press those things by foot, they believe that unlucky things will be chasing all around.
Those are what I knew from my local SG friends.
So, Late night outing are strictly allowed for children,even me, I rarely went out lately in August because ghosts are going around everywhere..
today's evening, I came back from school with my friend because she always bring home back with her bicycle :) , I saw people were very busy all along the road by placing the food and candles light at the side of the road and praying..
While riding the bicycle, my friends said, "See, people started to busy with those praying" and she continued saying that, in the morning when she rode to school, she suddenly crossed those staffs and she said that she mumbled quickly that its not her fault. it's her bicycle faults. :) when she said that word, I can't help to laugh though my goose pimple came out on my skin. :)
