Encounter with Ghost
In my early tips given I advised people not to start their jogging or walking before 0600 hrs as it is Ghost month now. However I am so use to starting my walking before 6 am or just after as long as I am ready after light Bfast etc.
Last Saturday it was raining in the night and since the air cool and nice I decided to walk even it is quite dark before 6 am with nice walking stick. My walking stick was bought at MT WUYI in FUJIAN about 15 years and so far walkers whom I met seem to like this walking stick of mine.
After 10 minutes I reached the big play ground with basket ball court and a badminton court. The basket ball court is the place a group of senior citizens gather after 6am doing their exercises with music on etc. The badminton court only occupy a smaller group during the weekend for Kung FU practice etc after 6.30 am.
I walking at the roadside and I saw 2 person in white practice Kung Fu slowly and it was quite dark. Just after a few steps I re look again but there was not even a single person, I look around I just could not see any person around the play ground and the 2 persons I saw cannot walk that fast and just vanish in the air... immediately I know it is GHost.. my hair on both hands started to stand and my skin become sore and rough like there is bubble.
My next encounter was the next morning SUN as I started walking earlier at around 5.30 am. This time after reaching a straight long straight road I saw one figure walking walking at the far end to ward me and I could see it as it was walking near a lamp post. My usual style beside looking forward and all other side road etc however I never look backward unless I hear a motor bike or car sound coming from behind just to prevent from being rob in the early morning.
It was just only a few seconds when I look forward to the front but there no more a figure walking toward me, I immediately walker faster forward but looking at a side road I could see any figure, I knew it was a GHOST as usual my whole body had the same type of feelings.

The Hungry Ghost Festival
To day 20th August is the 7th lunar month of the Chinese calender and The Hungry Ghost Festival start and end on the 30th day of the 7th month.
On the eve of the full moon in the 7th month The Hell Emperor will release all the souls and the hell will be open. Souls from purgatory will have their vacation for 30 days and will be visiting their family , relatives and friends.
For those souls with no place to go they will be roaming the streets to beg for offerings by people who offer paper money, joss sticks , fruits, foods, wine etc at the road sides.
However for the business community street vendors, hawkers, shop owners, restaurants there will be a big celebration with religious ceremonies, puppet or opera stage show or modern singing show etc. This kind of big scale celebration normally start and for a few nights ending on the 14th day and all offering will burn at mid night.
I will be visiting such bigger scale celebration near my area and will publish the photos when it is available.
In the meantime there are things you should not do and stay at home at night.
1. Do not go out at night, if must do return early before mid night.
2. Do not travel for vacation or drive long distance at night.
3. Be careful when walking and turning into a street, road corner, turn with a round curve.
4. Do not pick up any objectives that look good and attractive from the road and bring home.Who know there is soul inside!
5. When walking home at night if some one call you from behind don't turn your head behind and look around.
6. If you do morning walking exercises start after 6 am or later and best with a companion and bring along a walking stick.
If you understand that there only two type of souls release by the Hell Emperor which are all registered and control by the Yama's Servant ( Horse face and Cow face). The other souls are those that die without proper burial ceremony and place to call home. Those who die in the wilderness during the wars or who body cannot be located or lost for ever. Such souls are stateless and cannot enter hell and just wondering around and become ghost.
The Horse face and Cow face are hell police to catch them and put for 9 trail at the 9 court of justice for their crime and wrong doing committed.
During Ghost festival in the lunar month of 7th they only dare to venture out openly in the streets and mix with all other legal souls. This is the only time they can get foods and other offering given by the people. Those early when their time no due yet will try to look for a replacement! just who is the unlucky one... so don't go out at night and stay late during the 7th month.

There are as many as 50 over tanks stock with all swimming seafood from the deep sea and the rivers. George Zeng and my freind Lai Boon Peng selection of seafood with the restaurant manager and inform how to be cook etc. Besides seafood a feqw other local famous dishes was order as well.
I was shocked when told the bill only RGT 280 for a table of 6 person with about 10 dishes out of which 4 are live seafood. In Malaysia just one fish live will cost you at least RGT150 above.
