Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 1, 1999 Staff Share Posted September 1, 1999 Chinese believe that the gates of hell is opened up during the Lunar 7th Month and ghosts are allowed to wonder on the earth.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 19, 2017 Author Staff Share Posted September 19, 2017 Visited a client at the recently T.O.P. development called Toa Payoh Crest at Toa Payoh Lorong 1. And this is the last weekend of thet few days of Chinese 7th month in 2017. What is interesting is that this Chinese 7th month festivities located at an open space next to Block 127 Toa Payoh Lorong 1 market is an older estate. Thus, it is no surprise to find a traditional style Opera stage:- Perhaps by the next 15 years or more; there will no longer have such stage performers or audiences that can appreciate this type of performance. As there simply may no longer have a market for this. Instead, one would end up getting those young pretty Getai singers. What a pity! Elaborate seat covers: This is common. A bidding point where people pay the highest price for various auctioned items:- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 20, 2017 Author Staff Share Posted September 20, 2017 On my way to an audit at Lorong Ah Soo, Hougang.

They would just burnt stacks and stacks of the unfolded gold papers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
