It’s the Hungry Ghost Festive month again everyone..
It started on 13th of August til 10th of September 2007..The peak season is said to be on 30th of August, Merdeka Eve..
I believe that most Chinese parents would advise their children not to stay out til late at night to avoid bumping onto any ‘dirty‘ things..
Anyhow, my mind is contradicting in any other ways..I don’t know whether to believe in it or not, but I do take pre-cautions..
I’m scared to go out to the mamak near my house when I got hungry late at night..
It’s reported in the newspapers that couples are afraid to take pics during this season, if they were to wed during this season..
They are afraid if those pics might appear another figure beside them..
Wedding is hopefully a once in a lifetime thingy, so how can they skip the outdoor photoshooting part.??
And worst of all, if they are so scared, why choose to wed during the Hungry Ghost Festival in the first place.?? I don’t get it..
One thing about whether to believe it or not, an argument made me think like that..
I’m not sure it’s correct or not..Correct me if I’m wrong..Sorry if I offended any people here..
This Hungry Ghost Festive month is to offer the deads with food, hell money and other things..
But then again, other than to pray for those neglected wandering souls/spirits, aren’t those whom got buried or cremated already sent to the netherworld and waiting to be reincarnated.??
If the souls/spirits of the deads already reincarnated, then meaning they have a new body as their house..
So is it possible for the deads to come back and accept our offerings.??
Okay, let’s assume that they do come back for the offerings, I thought since we were lil kid, we were taught that once we were dead, we’ll walk past a bridge where we’ll be offered a soup called “Mang Po Tong“..
After drinking this soup, we’ll forget our past life and get on with a new life in heaven/hell and wait to be reincarnated into the world again..
Even if they haven’t reincarnated yet, they should have lost their memory of the past life, meaning they have forgotten their family and friends..
It’s all just my thought..No offence..Sorry for me being a Free-Thinker, but I’m still a Chinese..
I cannot deny that I’ll be bound with all these customs and rules and stuffs for the rest of my life, as I’m a Chinese..
Yesterday was the day where “Chiu Dou“ was being performed at Fatt Wah Temple, Salak South, Kuala Lumpur..
So I was there to so-called send my mom’s soul to the heaven..
“Chiu Dou” is something like cleansing ritual and send the souls up to heaven to be with the almighty Namo Amitabha..Wtf..
But there’s one thing I don’t understand..
Since you already sent your deceased family member’s soul up to heaven, why you need to send it again the next year or perhaps the next “Chiu Dou” event.??
Is it that they will fall back to ground every certain period and you keep sending them back up there again and again and again.??
No wonder the nuns and monks make a lot of money in this industry..
Most of the nuns in this temple owned an above average car..
Cars like Merz, Toyota, Honda, and some other imported cars..National car tak mainlah..
The place was packed like tunas (had enough of sardines)..
But of course, lots of people means got chicks, even in a temple like this ^^
There was even a goth-wannabe girl..She dressed in those flowerish-lolita-style-blouse, which was of see-through material..
A above knee-length jeans skirt, and knee-length stockings..
Well, the blouse was so thin that I could saw her bra is in purple color, and her skirt was so low that I could saw her G-string..Wtf..
I guess I’ll narrate the whole thing with the assistance of pics that I had taken there..
*That’s my dad, going to where my mom’s altar was being placed*
*Rows of paper altars*
*More or less around 2000 altars*
*Vegetarian meal*
To be honest, this was my first time to eat in a temple..
*Paper gold and silver bars*
*The paper Titanics*
These paper Titanics will sail the souls up to heaven..
*Everyone seems so busy*
*The God paper-figurine*
*Paper-golds being placed around the God*
*Video of burning the God paper-figurine*
*Some flowers and a coin*
During the ritual, we were told to line-up and cross a bridge then received these flowers and a 10 cent coin from the nuns..
What for they gave me flowers and a 10 cent coin.?? Why don’t they just give me a RM 10 note.?!
*The crowd is waiting*
They were waiting for the nuns to clean up the tables first before they can take the altars..
*Rush hour*
EVeryone was rushing and squeezing through to get to their family altars..
*My mom’s paper altar*
There is something I find it very funny but I think it’s rather disturbing to those devout Buddhists and Taoists..
Anyway..I’m going to share it with you guys and let’s laugh out loud together..Hahahaha..
As I was holding my mom’s altar like everyone else holding their family member’s altar, we had to do something with it..
There was a wooden couch (like those in your secondary school canteen) placed between 2 paper-bridges..
We had to hold the altar and take them cross the bridges..Well, not any normal crossings..
You have to do it step by step just like the image below..
*Sorry for my bad drawing*
That’s right..You have to hold the altar and walk step by step up the bridge then down the bridge..
I just couldn’t held back my laughs after my altar breeze walking..Hahahaha..
An auntie standing beside me did it so precisely and carefully that the nun told her to walk faster coz there were a bunch of people waiting in-line behind her..
*The altars on the Titanics*
*Altars placing*
As you can see, those altars on top of the Titanics were placed on those expensive “seats“..
Those chepaer ones, like my mom’s were placed under the deck..
*One carrying few altars*
Some were not enough hands to carry 5-8 altars, from parents to grandparents and grand-grandparents, perhaps..
*Everyone busybody betul..So am I..Hahaha*
*Placing the 6th Titanic to the fleet*
*All aborad*
*So you know why there’s haze in our country*
*All gone*
That 6 Titanics were gone in less than 50 seconds..
Recently, I went to a store where stuffs for Chinese prayers are being sold..I don’t know what’s those things called..
You know..Things like joss sticks, Buddha figurines, hell bank notes, etc etc..
I came across something which is very very the funny I tell you..
*A VCD / DVD / VCR player with MAX 6 album cover*
*Not any normal items*
Top left – rolls of cloth for the dead to make their own clothing..
Top right – shark fins and abalones..wtf..
Top center – head and body shampoos..
Center – shoes, leather shoes and a pair sneakers (sports shoes)..
*Can you see it.??*
*Canned drinks*
Yeap..Those are paper canned drinks..100 Plus..Coca Cola..
*The Hell Bank Corporation*
Hell Bank Corporation wa cakap lu..Don’t play play..
*The H$ 2*
Yeap..H$ 2 means Hell Dollar..Wakakaka..
Now look..This 1 stack of H$ 2 sold at RM 1.50..Then look at the below one..
*100,000,000,000..There are 11 zeros*
Is it One Hundred Billion Hell Dollar.??
Now how much do you think this stack of H$ 100,000,000,000 costs.??
It’s just a merely RM 1.40..It’s 10 sen cheaper than the H$ 2.!! WTF..
Who else want to buy the H$ 2 when you can get 50,000,000,000 (50 billion) times for a cheaper price..
*10 billion M-yuan.??? What’s that.??*
Since you burn so much money for the dead, then what’s the meaning to burn so many items to them while they could afford to buy much more things down / up there..
Maybe the items that can be burned are forbidden in the netherworld..Hmmm..
Ok..I think that’s all from me..
Do take note that I’m not trying to insult the stuffs or the dead here..
I’m a free-thinker..So I found the stuffs rather amusing..That’s all
You like it..Read them over and over again..Don’t like it..Don’t read them again..
Ok now..This entry here was requested by my friend, Deral..I did a requested entry before..
It was Requested : Langkawi Trip Spoiler(Do take noted, I was sarcastic-jokingly bombarded by KY in the comment section for my grammatical error..Hahaha) I guess all of you still remember about the un-delicious Marmite Crab..
Now..What about this Pangkor Trip Spoiler.?? Be prepared with experiences / hobbies in watching horror movies in cinema..
Actually I was waiting for the full-details about the whole incident before I blog it out..So I got this entry delayed like about a month alredy..
Anyway..Since I blogged about Nirvana Memorial Parkyesterday, and in conjunction with the Qing Ming festival, I think I’ll just give it a shoot..
Instead of this post was requested by Deral, it has become a request by my other friends whom I sent the pic to them to see..
So I’m not going to wait for the in-depth details..
Now..Everything goes like this..Shit, I myself were so thrilled when I was requested to post this stupendous horror entry..
Deral‘s friend’s cousin, visited Pangkor Island during their college semester break or whatever the hell it was, as a result of not much details about it..
So I was told by Deral that there were 7 people altogether made the trip to Pangkor..
So at 1 night..7 of them gathered somewhere in house, sat together and played games and stuffs..
A must for any kind of trip..Gather to play games or chat about whatever..
Pangkor, faraway from the city or mainland..And it is just starting to develop now, or maybe few years back..Kinda secluded I would say..
What else can you guys talk about.?? The most popular of them all, uncanny ghost stories..Be it fictioned or real stories..
You know, guys must show their braveness to the girls at moment like this..Shit, what a crap..
Guys : Hell with ya..Ghost doesn’t exist in this world..
Girls : WAAA~~!! I’M SO SCARED~!! I WANT MY MOMMY~~ CAN ANY GUYS GIMME A HUG~?!*This is usually said-out by non-pretty chicks*
What kinda ghost stories they talked about..I don’t really know..And it doesn’t really matters here..All that matters is the outcome..
In the mid of their ghost discussion..3 of them, saw a f*cking lady carrying a baby in their rented house..
Need not say more..It was a pair of futch-kingghouls wandering around them and listening to their wonderful stories about them, I mean the ghouls-lah..Creepy eh..
Frightened like hell and they almost pissed in their pants, shits oozed out from their arse-holes..They went to sleep and think nothing in their mind..
The next futch-king day..That’s the day they had to leave the joyful trip back to the air-polluted city and continue a boring life..
But ofcoz..They brought back unforgettable joyous, and also freaking hell memories back to the mainland..
They packed their belongings..Cam-whored like nobody’s business..Well, my friends and I do love cam-whoring as well..Muahahaha*with fading voice*..
So they left the island and came back to the mainland (coz I don’t really know where are they from)
Browsed through the pics they took with the cams and phones..They saw something suspicious in 1 of the pics..
Once in a lifetime..They got to see ghouls, AGAIN..And I do mean GHOULSSSSSS..I guess you can count how many S-ses are there..
Yeah..My friends all did the counting game when I sent this pic to them..Nothing better to do..
I told them the amount of ghouls appeared in the pic, yet they still looking for more and more suspicious dark-greyish figures in the pic..
Do take this seriously coz it ain’t no more fictions like I did in the previous entries =P
Now here’s the pic I got from Deral..Have a look on it (click on image for full-size review)..
This is the original pic taken with a Sony Ericsson k750i(2-megapixel and macro-view)
When you open this pic, try to save it and open it with Window Picture & Fax Viewer..Click on the ‘Actual Size (Ctrl+A)’ button *the left circled green button*
Then you click on the ‘Zoom-in (+)’ button *the right circled button* for about 3 or 4 times for a better view..
*This is where you click for the actual size and zoom-in if you do not know*
So, happy viewing..If you have any problem with the pic, i.e the pic is too dark, etc..
You can still click on this pic which I photoshop-ed it..Actually I just made the pic whiter so it will be easier to see those dark places..
Also, that 2 guys standing at the front door are the ONLY humans in the pic..Nobody else in there..
*Click on it for full-size review and zoom-in for 3-4 times*
Ok..The clue is the are 6 ghouls said to be seen in the pic..After distributing it, Weng Soon and his sister found a massive extra 2, which made the number to 8..
We even have Ultraman-ghost in the pic..WTF~!!
Or actually you are that lousy that you are too lazy to play the counting game with us..Here’s the answer for it..But i guess most of you guys are not that lazy, right.?
What’s the thrill to look at the answer before trying it out yourself..
*Answers are circled in red*
So, here’s my nice ghost-pic distribution to all you guys..I wish to get some feedbacks from you guys..
Actually I do agree with some of the comments that I got..Some of the shadow figures might be just reflections of trees or anything in the house..
Like Justin said, when your mindset is determined to find the things that was told to find, you’ll come out with numerous imaginations..
Anyway..My comment section or chatterbox are open to various answers and feedbacks..
Don’t keep it in your mind..Or you’ll suffer..Muahahahaha*devil’s laugh and grin*
This filler entry has nothing to do with arcade game DOA -Dead Or Alive, or such..
Yeah..I’m enjoying filler entries as much as Naruto‘s filler episodes every week, until the 180th episode (now 178 in Malaysia) for the 2nd season, where real fights will be back again….
In conjunction with the Qing Ming festival or something..I’ll talk about cemetery..Hahaha..
Ok..I had been to Nirvana Memorial Park‘s admin hall / office or something..I don’t know what it is called.. Nirvana Memorial Park‘s admin office is at Kuchai Lama..
The admin office is so luxurious..Yeah, you heard me..IT’S LUXURIOUS~!! It’s like a comparison to 5-star hotel, for the deads..
I assumed every Chinese also knows that Nirvana Memorial Park a.k.a Fu Guai San Jong is indeed a very expensive, just to buy a unit/lot at the grave sites for burial..
A family could spend up to few million ringgit for a full package, ofcoz..
The office is so hotel-look-alike, where it has a lobby with nice couches, and also receptionists..
*Big crystal sphere displayed at the lobby*
I have no idea what is this crystal ball for..It’s amazingly huge..I guess need about 3 or 4 people of my size holding hands to get the circumference of it..
The office have elevators which will bring you up to 3rd Floor or something..I can’t really remember..
On the 1st Floor or something..They have an exhibition centre..Displaying coffins and stuffs for the deads, i.e clothes, etc..
*Gold coffin worth few hundred thousand ringgit*
Yeah..You can see this gold coffin on display..It is valued at few hundred thousand ringgit..I couldn’t remember the exact figure..
Besides gold coffin, they offer platinum coffin, too on display..But I didn’t snap a pic of it..
The platinum coffin is black in color, metallic black..
Exhibition centre aside..Let’s go to the ceremony halls, where spiritual funeral ceremonies and prayers to send the deads to the other world being held..
It has few halls..With nice corridors along the front halls..
*Nicely decorated corridor*
At the corridors here, it has nice tables and comfortable chairs..
Supper is also provided..Not like those you get from school canteens, cold and unfresh..
Here, you got the best..Foods heated up in trays just like what you got from hotels..
And they have staff, with neat and tidy uniforms walking around for customer care..
You know what.? If you think that only the elders working here, you are wrong..They have pretty chicks as receptionists and customer care attendants..
Imagine if you have a girlfriend working at Nirvana Memorial Park..
Yatz : Hey guys..Meet my gf, Katrina..
Friends : Hello Katrina..Where are you working.??
Katrina : Hello..Umm..I’m working at NV Multi Corporation Bhd..
Friends : *Gasp* WTF~?!?! You mean~~
Katrina : Yup..NVMC Bhd, the one which manages Nirvana Memorial Park..
Yeah..That’s some kind of expression you will get from your friends if you have one gf works for NV Multi Corporation Bhd(which manages Nirvana Memorial Park)
Last but not least..Do you know what you can do at the corridor when you are having supper.?
You can access to the Internet, where 2 rooms with a computer in it..
Now that’s what I called 5-star hotel, for the deads..
Ok..I think that’s all for my talks..I found an article in the Net about Nirvana Memorial Park at Semenyih, Selangor, and Nilai Memorial Park at Seremban, Negri Sembilan.. The Grave Sites Of Nirvana & Nilai Memorial Park
