today (i think) marks the dawn of hungry ghosts' festival, or zhong yuan jie, for us chinese.
for some unfathomable reason i get incredibly spooked when this period rolls around every year. doesn't everyone?
it didn't help when an article in the january 2003 issue of twenty4seven (local mag which i think has gone out of circulation) had taxi drivers proclaim all the weird and infamous sightings around our little island.
one notorious revelation, particularly, hit too close for comfort.
apparently tanah merah, affectionately termed as my backyard, is home to a mother-cum-child visitor who have a tendency to pick up taxi drivers and disappearing while in transit.
i too have a tendency, not to pick up cab drivers of course, but to err into tanah merah when i decide to get home while saving 63 measly cents on bus fare.
and you bet i won't be doing that for this entire month. =)
on another subject, dad is amazed at how much smses i send in a month.
i, on the other hand, don't think 300 plus smses are a hell lot. but according to my parents, i can sit for an hour concentrating only on my handphone and nothing else.
mum tells me to do the same for schoolwork. (unfortunately impossible. sorry mum.)
