7 month 14th day

today is the 14th day of the 7 lunar month in the all important Chinese calender!
oohh wat does that mean u ask?
Hungry Ghost festival i.e. the ghost gets a little more hungry, a little more evil tonite ... before the hell gates closes for another year. Also known as "Yue Laan", it falls on the 19th Aug 2005 (its celebrated on the 14th nite of the 7th lunar month)
i learnt that the most "dangerous" time of the day is actually in the evening when the sunsets (the yin yang wif the souls of the other world is apparently at its best) ... so don't go out! coz by tradition, at nite the lanterns / candles are lit to direct the ghosts back to their homes (where ever dat may be).
