Today is the 3rd day of seventh month in the lunar calendar, which most people call it 'Hungry Ghost Festival" in Malaysia, come on, even Wikipedia don't use hungry, because 'they' not hungry by the way.
Different places have different culture to 'celebrate' these days. In Malaysia, while my grand-mum still around, she will pray at the road side which in front our house with some cookies and burning paper and candlers. This whole month, most of the chinese parents will warn their kids dont out too late. In Malaysia, people usually have some 'celebration' called 普渡 （pu du), is like a praying section for this whole month.
This year, I'm in Singapore, is much more different. They have this 歌台 'ge tai'(Singing Performance) This whole months, all the 'ge tai' singers will rush as many stage as they can to earn the money.
So happened, one of the 'Ge Tai' is located just below my apartment. Very happening.
Usually they will sing some oldies. If you guys watch the movie '881(Papaya Sister)' you might roughly get what i mean.
Music is quite loud and even i close every single gab in my house i still cant hear the sound from my TV. But not that bad actually, can enjoy free live music and performance. I like oldies too, why not, just 1 month.
