ok this is sort of a rant/ cultural lesson. every year, there is a 7th ghost month, yes a month dedicated to ghost in singapore. its starts around late august and the story goes that in that month , the gates of hell are opened and ghosts roam freely or something. so the chinese people find every single pavement or sidewalk and start burning hell notes for their dead loved ones,they are printed paper that are meant to be burned and it is used as currency in hell. yea and the burnt ashes are just left behind littered on the bloody streets and there is a old wives tale saying that if you step on it ,bad things will happen, such as a backache? slanted jaw? wealth , health or love problems i dont know? the point is that i cant even walk home without jumping every 2 feet. so i hope this story enlightened you about one of our main hobbies in singapore ,the hobby other is not chewing gum, so i hope this story scares you sheetless and you wont be able to sleep tonight, oh and here is an awesome singapore ghost website to entertain you. end rant/cultural lesson http://sfogsreturns.com/index2.html

Well, technically. On the 7th Month of the Chinese calendar, its the Ghost Festival, for almost the whole month. People burn incense for their dead relatives or friends or ancestors, some offer food as on the Ghost Festival (GF), mosts ghosts from Hell comes out and somewhat eat... Spooky but funny theory of mine; people usually who're born in the month of August are mostly ghosts that sneakily went into pregnant women's stomachs and possess the baby, thus defying the rule of REINCARNATION. Only a handful are born from reincarnated ghosts. These ghosts are darn smart!
