Lunar 7th Month - Ghost Festival

Time really fly, another year has past and the Ghost Festival is here again. This is busiest period for my parents cause my dad organise getais. I used to follow them around when I was young so I can say I am quite familiar with it. That was also what that aroused my interest in singing. I've been listening to all the pop songs at the getais during the Ghost Festival. I even had fav getai singer then. Some popular getai singers can make alot of money during this month. Some even become movie stars such Liu Ling Ling who acted in 881 and now 12 Lotus. I used to watch her sing since young but never expect her to become a movie star. Besides getais, there will also be alot of prayer & offering sessions all over S'pore. Our dept is also doing ours next week. We started doing it last year and will continue to do it this year to pray for smooth operations in the dept. Well, maybe I should go catch a getai this year since I haven been watching it since I started working. After all, its part of my childhood.
