Hungry Ghosts! Where?

Hungry Ghosts! Where? Sounds like a familiar website doesn't it. When someone is a glutton we call him "'yao kwee'' which means hungry ghost. This is the time of the year where the Lunar calendar shows 7th month and where some Chinese believe the Hell gate is opened and all kinds of ghosts wander about everywhere.

 I will not bother calling out to anyone on the streets especially at night. They will be too frighten anyway. Do you believe in ghosts? Are there really ghosts? What were your experiences and encounters? I can tell you that 99% of the time, people frightened themselves and were mistaken including many stories where "I heard from a friend who heard from a friend who heard it from another friend. It is only authentic if you have first hand experience through sightings, hearing, smelling or sensing. It needs investigation sometimes. If you have your own queer encounters, share it with me. Are they really ghosts? Or spirits or demons? Start a ghost busting business? Watch the Ghost Busters:

 If you are the type that sleep early since you were a child and till now, you would have missed out on many great stuffs in life. Night owls will have more stories to tell including such hair raising experiences. We become more intelligent after overcoming our fears. What people do not know, they fear.

The Kallang Roar! (Part Three)

Back in the good old days, we have four other national teams. Besides the National Team (The Lions), we also have a B team (The Cubs). Then we also competed in the Sultan's Gold Cup fielding a team called Singapore Malays. We have the Singapore Indians playing in the Bardhan Cup and the other being the Singapore Chinese team also competing aga inst Malaysian state teams in the same format and also the Ho Ho Cup triangular among Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. In 1976, Englishman Trevor Hartley became responsible for the Singapore team at age 28. I can't remember which year Singapore beat Malacca 6-2 and Lee Bee Seng was sent off for punching an opponent who must have trampled on him. Here is Bee Seng with Brian Rozario. In the same match Quah Kim Song was sent off too for fighting. And I said wow! Malaysia Cup is like that? I like! (Pix - Lee Bee Seng with Brian Rozario). And can you believe this? Before all these we have Mike Walker who played Kim Song a...

The Hainanese

The Hainanese are people from Hainan who originated from Hainan Island - the smallest province of China at the Southern most tip. They were originally fishermen from Fujian and Guandong and later settled over there. The Hainanese, part of the Chinese dispora migrated to different South East Asian countries including late comers to Singapore worked in ships as sailors, opened their own coffee shops or restaurants, bakeries or bars and worked as cooks and chefs and others at local hotels.  Hainanese in Singapore made up 7% of the Chinese population. The Hainanese came to Singapore much later than the Hokkiens and Teochews who are already well entrenched in trade and commerce. Originally they also have problems communicating with other dialect groups as their language seems unintelligible to the others but they began to carve out a name for themselves working for wealthy Europeans including as canteen operators for military bases.  Hainanese are especially with food and ...

Singapore Soccer Legends

Legends What are legends? A legend is a traditional story or myth, traditional literature or inscription. Lee Kuan Yew is a legend. So was Bruce Lee. You can find legends in business, politics, leaders, music, movies and sports. Legends are heroes of the time, at that time, a moment in history and usually you will find it hard to replicate or reproduce like Jack Nicklaus in golf, England's 1966 World Cup soccer winning team, Brazil's World Cup team of 1970 and 1982. Maradona and Messi are soccer legends of Argentina, Platini and Zidane are legends of France, Beckanbauer and Muller from Germany and Cruyff, Neeskens, Marco van Basten of Holland.  Eventhough Holland did not win the World Cup, the whole team in 1974 were legends. So was Denmark when they won the European Nations Championship. Legends defy logic. They inspire. They make you want to be like them. They start a revolution. They can transform a nation. They can bring joy ...
