Just being told by my parents that today is The Hungry Ghost Festival and its being celebrated all over place. They say its a festival, why i didn't see anybody celebrating it in Kuching? Different stories in Singapore, i heard that in Singapore most of the people there are very particular with this festival and they will make a stage show mostly on opera. Hungry Ghost festival is a popular occasion that is taken very seriously by the Chinese. This festival usually falls on the 7th month of the lunar New Year is celebrated mainly in China and other countries like Singapore & Malaysia. It is believed by the Chinese that during this month, the gates of hell are opened to free the hungry ghosts who then wander to seek food on Earth. Some even think that the ghosts would seek revenge on those who had vengeance them in their lives. The reason why the Chinese celebrate this festival is to remember their dead family members and pay tribute to them. There's a believe that the show will please those wandering ghost.
Be careful not to step on anything that been burn on the ground during this special month.... :-)
