1. Today is the 1st day of the Chinese 7th month Hungry Ghost Day. The ghosts also got holiday for one month every year. And it falls on the chinese calender 7th month. Lunar 1st August !
2. Firstly, what is a ghost? Does it exist?
3. Ghost is believed to be a spirit or soul of a person already mati or die liao. Those who belief say it exist. Those who dont belief say there is no ghost. People believed when they heard and saw with their own eyes. No see no hear no belief lah!
4. Chinese tradition believed that ghosts are human being soul or spirit send to jail in hell. It is believed that all human being after mati must go to meet the King of Hell. There each and everyone is punished for the bad things done on earth! Small offence send to short time jail. Bad or serious offence committed send to longer jail term and punishment!
5. After punishment, each and everyone is reborn again. Bad people reborn as animal. God people reborn as human being again. Lucky 1 born in Spore or America lah. Bad 1 born in India ,Africa or Iraq or Timbuttu!
6.Those who are generous and take care of their parents will be born to a rich family in the next life. Those who are not filial to the parents will be born to a poor farmer or a begger in the next life.
7. Those who commits murder, robbery, cheating and other serious offence will be reborn an animal either a dog or cat etc. Lazy 1 reborn a pig in the next life to eat and sleep and then killed for human to eat! This is a warning for those lazy and untidiness like pig? Unless you dont want to die and become a pig in the next life! Repent!
8. Coming to this holiday month for the ghosts. So our deceased grandparents who have died can come back for holiday lah? We then buy paper money in US dollars and burnt to them. We buy food and latest nokia handphone new shirt, car and house and offered to them to eat and ta pau home to hell.
9. Some pray and asked for 4d and toto from the deceased ghosts. Like two way business trading! I buy you food and things to eat, you give me 4d number to strike rich. Hokkien people say Wu lai wu kee ( got come got go)! Those who belief practice! Those who dont laugh! Hahaha
10. I have seen with my own eyes a few times of the ghosts. 1 time a Malay ghost walking ahead of me entered the lift in Tampines and then disappered! 2nd time a Chinese child ghost in my first HDB flat in Bedok Reservior! And of course heard many ghost story. The famous 1 is the story in Segamat where the man who give a lift to a ghost and lend her the jacket later found his jacket hanging on the graveyard! The ghost caught him to marry her!
11. Some people after seeing a ghost fall sick and mati. Some lives to tell the ghost story.
12. During this ghost month many 7th month singers is going to make a good living singing for the ghost to see and hear. Getai stalls is up every night. Free show available for 1 month all over Spore.
13. Miss Liu Ling Ling, Ah Nan ,Jack Neo, Mark Lee and all the hokkien singers will be on stage shows ! Pity the famous hokkien singer Chen Jin Lang who died last yr the 1st day of the seven month. Today is his 1st anniversary. Was he given 1 month leave for holiday? His turn out as ghost watching liao! Why dont he appear in human body form and sing a song? Cannot lah wait the crowd run for life!
14. Christian also believed there is ghost and demon! But they dont pray or offer any food or things for the ghosts. Because if you believed in Jesus you have a life in heaven. So dont need any food money or things from earth.
15. Jesus after he was buried, arose from his death after three days. He appeared to his disciples and walked on earth for 49 days. His disciple at first was scared thinking he was a ghost. But he showed them his full body! He went up to heaven on the 50th day! And his tomb remained empty without any body! The one and only man, son of God, who died and rose from the grave!
16. In heaven everyday is holiday! In hell it is a torture prison. Only one month holiday per year! Today is the 1st day of the 1 month holiday. Last night I went to Changi Airport, it was very busy, aeroplane, jumbo 747 big and small landed every minutes fully loaded with passengers! But only those with dog eyes can see lah!
17. Tomorrow continued. Many encounters with ghosts on 7th month!

Hokkien Greeting in Malaysia
1. Last week after a week tour in Malaysia and Hatyai, South Thailand, I learnt the Malay way of greeting each other. It has been the way of greeting also here in Spore by the Malay muslim.
2. Everytime we see and hear when two malays or muslim meet, they will first shake hands and then touch their hands on their chest.
3. The first person will greet, Allsalamualaikum. The 2nd person will reply, Mualaikumsalam! This has been the common greeting all this while.
4. While in Penang I saw and heard two Chinese greeting each other in the Malay style! The first Chinese say in Hokkien " Wa Salah Lu Mai Kong"! The 2nd Chinese reply also in hokkien " Wa Mai Kong Lu Salah" !
5. After our 1 week holiday away from home, on our return the queen asked Torusan how's life going on at home! He say very quiet except when he forgot to switch off the lights kena tick off by the 2nd Queen at home.
6. He told the 1st queen why all this while she never tell him when he forgot to switch off the lights? In hokkien " Wa Salah Lu Mai Kong"! (means I wrong you never say)!
7. The queen reply in hokkien "Wa Mai Kong Lu Salah" (means I never say you do wrong)
8. Hahaha now if I do wrong(salah) you better mai kong(dont say)!

1 week Budget Holiday
1. My queen went on leave from 19th until 29th July. We decided to make a 1 week budget tour to Malaysia by hiking on car, bus, van and train or whatever ferry, LRT, tut-tut or taxi! Budget just to save cost but at the same time can see more of the country-side road and scenery.
Day 1 19th Sat. July 08 Visit home Segamat
2.We take a train from Tg Pagar across the causeway to my home town in Segamat. Arriving at Segamat 6.00 pm in time for dinner. Well, my mother had the durian ready for us after dinner.Took a cup of strong chinese tea and found myself unable to sleep till 2.00am
Day 2 20th Sun. Visit brother in KL stay in as Guest of honour
3.Took a bus from Segamat on the way to Kuala Lumpur. Half-way journey near to Malacca, the bus engine broke down. Stopped at the recreation rest-point. Ah with my mum as guide there is a way out during breakdown. She is very experienced. She stopped another passing bus even though it was fully occupied. She bribed the bus driver to offer us a lift. Just pay another RM30.00 and we dont mind seated on the floorboard of the bus.
4. Arrived at KL Pudu Raya Bus terminal. Ah my brother, Alex arrived with his Toyota Fatima MPV waiting to fetch us for dinner. Had our seafood dinner at Shah Alam! Pay him a visit at his new home at 21 Kemaman, Shah Alam. A big semi-detached double storey house! A similar house in Spore will easily cost $2million. My dream home which I could not afford but at least can sleep for a night lah. Queen happy lah! We acted like Dato or Tan-sri or Tun guest for l night.

He now remit monthly 20% of his salary home to his mother! I was told his peer or working colleagues who were all more elderly has some good advises penetrated his head.
6. My brother, Alex, is very resourceful. Years of business experiences from Spore and Malaysia keep him ahead of time. Maybe, Dr Mahathir early policy of looking East make him wisely in business thinking. He never failed to see the rising sun from the East. The sleeping Giant of the East, the rising China never escape his eyes.
7. 10 years ago, his Specialist business products in distributing valves of European brand like Honeywell, Parker Hoebiger etc has been replaced by the Chinese brand. The better cost in competitive brands make him one of the top stockists player. He is now in the process of opening a buying house in Kwangchow,China.

Malu lah. Wait make the tour guide think stupid of us Sporean! We are supposed to be clever like Lee Kuan Yew mah!
14. Evening free and easy. We walked and strolled along George town. It has been declared an Unesco world heritage town.

Fear of death (Kia Si)
1. Yesterday news, PAP MP Ong Chit Chung 59yrs mati suddenly at his home. Heart attack mati. Look healthy can play golf a day earlier somemore you know! Times up you go without notice.
2. Our PAP MM Lee Kuan Yew's wife 87yrs admitted to hospital for stroke, in critical condition ,more than 1 month still alive! More time given lah! God give more time or because she has the best doctors and medical care to attend to her. Money not the problems mah! Prime Minister, Lee Hsing Loong mother mah!
3. Today Mind your Body article, Living talk about fear of death. According to American philosopher Tom Morris, there are four kinds of fear of death.
4. First, there is the fear of the process of dying. Death is not the problem but fear the last hour and minutes as life slowly mati or slow sleep. We worry that dying is painful and so very scare lah!
5. 2nd, there is the fear of punishment. We fear in afterlife, fear we kena punished for our sins. Our grandmother say if we tell lies in earth when we mati kena tongue cut by Gu Mo Ong (Hell King). For non Christians, they say you die go to hell below kena burn by fire no day no night.
6. 3rd, there is fear of the unknown. What happens when we die? Just like gone to sleep or becomes nothingless? My wife always say she is not scare. To die is to gain cos she has a place in heaven. Her place is upstair in heaven! She will see Jesus! But how do we know! Got letter of guarantee from Pastor or not? Dont have scare also lah! Wait never go up how? 3rd fear !
7. 4th, fear that death ends everything! Once death comes, everything we have gone liao. No more life, no more laughter, no more love, no more sunshine, no more friends, no more durian to eat, handphone, video, car gold silver all habis! This is the most fear of all. No more blog to write!
8. In Spore, if you have no money or you are poor, the saying is that it is better to die than to fall sick, " ai si buay si" lying in hospital bed. Your hospital bills kills you and your family more than your coffin bill. Better you die like MP Ong Chit Chung. No suffer and no pain. They say you die peaceful. Old peoples hopes to have a peaceful death like just go to sleep and never get up.
9. I had the experience of seeing my 1st wife death in hospital ! It was a slow and painful death! She dies of cancer at the age of 32 yrs. Just like Anita Mui the Hongkong actress and singer also died of Cancer at age 41 yrs.
10. 1st doctor passed the death sentence saying about 5 months to live! Wow damn jialat man! 5 months only got not enough time to prepare! We seek from all the Gods we can find! She went to Waterloo Street temple to pray to Goddess of Mercy or Kuan Yin! Of course to ask for longer life to live lah! What doctors cannot help only God can lah. I also seek Buddha, Sai baba, Atok Kung lah and whatever Kung (gods)! Even Jesus and jesus mother Mary from Novena also we go!
11. We also try to find the magic herbs or chinese herbs, the Linzi pills and whatever chinese "hu" or holy water from temple! Well wishes pastor also come to pray! But end result mati! Cannot escape! The only consolation we mati only once in our life time. Remember what Carina lau say. In life, three things- birth, death and marriage! Marriage is a must. At least she got married once to me! So ok lah! Fulfil all 3 things!
12. In 2005 on the 12th May, I had a heart attack also without notice! I was admitted to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The following day 13th May is my 51st birthday. I spend my 51st birthday in hospital. Friends and relatives came to visit me buying fruits except no birthday cake! Forgot to inform them to buy 2-in-1 gifts! One for faster recovery as well as for my 51st birthday!
13. Ah God bless me! I never mati! Time not up yet! But doctor say my three heart arteries has been blocked. If no medication or surgery is taken, my life sentence is 5 years mati. Not so bad at least 10 times better than my deceased wife who got only 5 months! With medications and healthy life style living I may lived for another 10 yrs! After that who knows I may get a heart transplant! Buy 1 from China or India lor! Any donation out there? Alamat, human being only got one heart how to donate! Kidney can lah! Today I read paper, Jamie Yeo, born with only one kidney! Never mati! Can kawin Glenn Ong radio DJ!
14. So now I know before hand the cause of my death is due to my broken down heart! When ah? Dont know leh? scare or not? Dont know leh? 14.

Bicycle riding with tie and coat
1. In 1990 I went to Shanghai, China for a holiday tour. Today 2008 which is 18 yrs since my last trip there. Shanghai is the biggest and most developed city in China. So is Beijing the capital City which is holding the first Olympic event come 08.08.2008.
2. China has since advanced to the world most colorful country. In 1990 the people in China riding bicycles far exceeded the motor-scooter, car or vehicles on the road. Today, traffic is very heavy on the road. But bicycles is still found on the road.
3. The most colorful scene I saw the chinese people riding bicycle on the road can never be found in Spore till today! The chinese people dressed up well while on the road. One can see the man wearing formally ties, long sleeve shirts, and coat and jacket whilst riding bicycle on the road. The girls too wear colorful dress, make-up and even hats like Fung Fei Fei riding bicycle on the road. I also see couples on courtship riding bicycle on the road.
4. They feel very proud whilst riding bicycle. Executives and managers too with tie and coat riding bicycle. Of course, today there are many cars on the road. But the cyclists still exist!
5. Back in Spore, now whenever I saw cyclists dressing up well on the road, 9 out of 10 persons they are Chinese from China. Old habits die hard. This are imported way of life from China. With oil price sky rocking I think this is a very good idea to encourage the use of bicycles on the road.
6. Just last month, when the Malaysian government increased the price of petrol, 2 opposition MPs protest by riding bicycles to work! That is the only time I saw the cyclists with well dress ties and coat.
7. Today I am offering a reward if anyone can shoot a photo of a local Singaporean riding a bicycle wearing tie and coat on the road! The reward is a $1,000.00 cash prize for anyone posted a photo into my blog! Term and condition: The cyclist must be a local Spore born. Chinese people from China whether PR or Citizen is disqualified!
8. I always offer this reward to any china man or china woman everytime I heard them talk proudly of themselves! A spore man who wear a tie and coat can afford a car leow! To ride a bicycle no face leow! Only a cartoon man will appear if there is any!
9. Offer valid until 9th August 2008!

Mummy's Boy and Not Mummy's girl
1.A typical story of complaint by the wife against the husband is that of a Mummy's boy. Mummy's boy refer to the love between mother and son. The son obeys his mother in everything he do! He consult, listen, take advise and obey in everthing he do!
2.In traditional custom this is more of filial piety! The mother bring up the son, provide shelter, educate, care and love. So very normal mah pay back your respect, love your mother, obey your mother very good son mah!
3. God's word also say honour your mother and father and you will have long good life.
4. The problem come with the wife liao. The wife buay tahan if the husband listen more to the mother than to her. To the wife if the husband love ,listen and obey more to the mother than her, jialat liao.
5.Mummy's boy normally treat the wife like mother and regard the mother like his girlfriend! What do you mean? When you treat your wife like mother, you expect her to love and treasure you as his son. You take for granted the love from mother to son !
6. But when you treat your mother like girlfriend, you imagine lah what you will do! You pour love, buy flowers, listen ,talk, chit chat, all sweet words lah! You obey,take care, concern and macham macham lah the love life of boyfriend and girlfriend relationship do lor!
7. Of course every mother love to have a mummy's boy! But today very hard to find lah! Even have after kawin, more likely the wife win over lah. More likely becomes wife's son. You know lah the Chinese song, when you are young you are mother's son! After marriage becomes wife's son.
8. There was a story of a mother, son and daughter-in-law in a remote village in China. This is typical of a filial son to the mother. One day, the three of them were crossing a river in a small sampan(boat). A storm rose and the sampan capside. Only the son can swim! Both his wife and mother were struggling in the water and could not swim. Guess who the son save! Of course he saved his mother lah and the wife got drown and mati!
9. The mother were of course very pleased and relieved! But she lost a daughter-in-law. She asked her son why he saved her instead of his young wife! The son say, mother got only 1. Die no more liao. The wife mati can find another lah ! True gentleman! Next time I know who to save between my wife and mother! Ah! then I can marry a third time ! Hahaha the Queen dont read my blog!
10. When I was wooing my first wife during our courtship, I saw with my own eyes a mummy's boy. He is none other than my wife's 2nd brother, Ah Meng! Mother and son were always sitting side by side chit-chatting everytime I went to their house. Ah Meng was very closed to my mother-in-law. He gave half of his salary to her. None of the other two brother in-law give money and none of them were as close as Ah Meng.
11. So the whole neighbours know this Ah Meng as the Mummy's boy! And my wife is the mummy's girl too! But there is no term as Mummy's girl. It is expected for the daughter to listen and love your mother more than your husband!
12. Things come to an end after Ah Meng got married. I witnessed the biggest quarrel in my life between mother and son( so called mummy's boy) Very Jialat! continued tomorrow.........

A weekend in Johore Bahru
1. This sunday morning woke up in a mess! The queen shouting and cursing with one of the most untidiness daughter at home. The whole room kept like a rubbish den. Bad habit drinking milk half left wasted on the table.A thousand times reminder dont work!Bad habit die hard! Anyway it is like mother like daughter! Both dirty pigs !Sama sama lah!
2. Another madness causing stress to my heart! The Queen and the youngest dot fighting over the use of the computer. The Queen now got addicted to the Korean drama show and the dot as usual got addicted to her dont know what MSN games!One big shout against one small squirel jumping like fish out of water!
3. I give thanks to the Lord I bought a mini note bookfor my own use! But with this noise pollution at home, no peace also lah!
4. I decided to call my other sister in Pasir Ris to contact the youngest sister in JB whether we could make a visit! It has been more than 5 yrs since we lost touch in her home in Johore Bahru.. Although we last met at Segamat during the Father day just last month!
5. Appointment done. We left home and met at the Woodlands Checkpoint at 12.00pm.We took a bus across the Woodlands checkpoint. Arrived at the Malaysian Causeway at about 12.30pm quite smoothly. No traffic jam. Took a taxi to Perling Mall Shopping where we had our lunch!A mini self-take dishes of rice and veg for two cost only RM 9.00 plus drink of barley 0.90cts a cup! Cheap by our standard in Spore.
6. After our lunch the youngest sister, Siew Lian, came and fetch us to her home at Blk S Camar 12 Taman Perling house no: 01-08! It was a low cost housing unit like our Spore HDB flat! A two room 1 hall unit with a small car garage shelter on the ground floor. Just nice and cosy for a small family with an adopted darkie daughter aged 10 yrs!
7. My brother-in-law own a mini van, self-employed transportation for kindergarten school student! My sister works as a kindergarten school teacher! My sister own a mini 600cc Sang Kanchil car. They also had a motor-scooter used for convenience transport in time of traffic jam. Wow how nice this is the life in Malaysia! Here we are talking so much about petrol hike! There in Malaysia, a small family can own a motor-van, motor-car and a motor-scooter! I boh miang liao just own a motor-van GT 3132U even though my earning income is 5 times their! What a difference the standard of living between Spore and Malaysia!

Malaysian gossipy life you know lah! A little people talk about small thing.An average people gossip about other people's life! With my mother and sister around the life stories got no ending! Women are born to talk more cos they have 2 mouths! Man talk less but think more cos they have 2 head but 1 mouth! Well gossiping better than house on fire at home!
10. Talk here talk there, times passed! Six of us now left for dinner. We arrived at a Vegetalian Restaurant! We had our fish, veg, mee hoon, yam cakes and drinks! Very delicious or Oesis in japanese! Cost RM 49.00 Wow so cheap! In Spore this dinner for six will have cost S$ 100.00 over! at least 3 times over!
11. After our dinner, we left for Larkin Bus interchange! Stroll around but due to heavy traffic, pirate taxis were stuck in the Woodlands Checkpoint. There were more passengers than taxi available. No choice we took a bus home. Returning home during weekend is a nightmare. The jam is too long! The only drawback at the checkpoint crossing.Reached home midnight! Bath and watch tv! Queen working night shift! No fight at home.Salom! peace!
12. Next weekend,my brother-in-law offer us to go Desaru fruits farm visiting and shopping! Then stay at the golden beach resort in Desaru for the weekend! looking forward! Happy Sunday !

BROKEN HEART
1. After the topic of a true love and a lovesick, I now come to the main topic the broken heart.Love got to do with the heart.Why heart? Why not head or eyes? Falling in love got to do with the eyes and the head also mah!The eyes admired the beauty of the other person.The head think and work hard to win the love mah. The heart only feel inside the body!
2. But when love failed we used to say the person had a broken heart.The person may lost his appetite and suddenly goes fasting 3 days 3 nights. Why not blame the stomach! Refuse to eat mah! Or he may shed tears and cry 3 days 3 nights. Why not say broken eyes?

4. Never mind lah! Lets come to the term 'broken heart'. In life everyone has to face a period of broken heart time. When you are young sometimes you admired a person thinking he or she is the only person in your life. You just lives thinking of the person day and night. He could be like your Spore idol or screen famous actor or actress. He or she could be a girl or boy in your school! You fall sick and heart broken when that person goes missing. You are actually having a crush! Very soon you find another person and this old person forgotten. A minor broken heart lah. Or sometimes called a crush!

4. Arrived at KL Pudu Raya Bus terminal. Ah my brother, Alex arrived with his Toyota Fatima MPV waiting to fetch us for dinner. Had our seafood dinner at Shah Alam! Pay him a visit at his new home at 21 Kemaman, Shah Alam. A big semi-detached double storey house! A similar house in Spore will easily cost $2million. My dream home which I could not afford but at least can sleep for a night lah. Queen happy lah! We acted like Dato or Tan-sri or Tun guest for l night.
13. Visiting place of interest is a refreshing way of relax and stress free. But with the queen around I had to shut her mouth at time when she talk out of topic or ask a certain 'silly' question! Malu lah. Wait make the tour guide think stupid of us Sporean! We are supposed to be clever like Lee Kuan Yew mah!
