For the 1st time in many many years, our National Day wasn't in the Ghost Month! for so many years, you dunno who really was beside you at the Parade!!26 aug 08: 1. a malay patron at a coffee shop took home some fruits fm the 7th mth altar there 4 his pet bird! he woke up d next day, speechless, cant talk! in tat few dumb days, his family brought him to consult western n chinese docs. No cure, & they told him sign of going Dumb! they desired 2 seek help fm chinese medium. 'he personally shld return 2 d same altar, seek apology, donatn some oil $, n return double amt d fruits he took. do tis daily or until he can talk again. shld d altar be gone n he yet 2 recover, do tis at d nearest taoist temple'.
2. another malay guy urined near (i dun tink at) d altar of a coffee shop. a few days later he died!
3. d above 2 incidents told by my fr reminded me of wat my relative shared when he was a committee member of a 7th mth functn: late 1 nite, he tried to carry the urn fm pt a 2 b. it's as though the urn was cemented 2 d table, he jus cant lifted it! he scolded some bad words n explained d reason for d shift den he'd d job done!
