i don't do all that do you lol. but i like burning the uh, paper money. yup i like folding them into weird things and then throwing them into the fire haha.

m, sounds a bit sardonic.

singaporean superstition summed up in a beautiful poem with oh-so-true, & oh-so-haunting imagery that captures THE ESSENCE of the hungry ghost festival.

on another note, DID YOU GET INSPIRATION FROM THE MAID FOR THIS. i watched that during the seventh month, being an **, & got scared out of my wits for days, having to carry a torchlight around. (:

I don't see this a lot. A lot of deep emotion. I like it.

Has a tone of sarcasm and hidden laughter.
