What an extraordinary Saturday with half a morning to half an afternoon getting involved in folding and burning incense papers and waiting for the annual 'zhong yuan jie' (Hungry Ghosts festival) ceremony to finish. And with a scorching hot weather (but somehow threatened by the little dark clouds along the way).
It was held in a MNC with office staff and manufacturing assistants chipping in to get the job done. How interesting!
It had been a long wait for the whole ceremony to complete, but the process was fun. There was a huge load of incense papers to burn and this particular item took a long time to complete.
And finally, the most enjoyable part was chopping up of the offerings (ie roasted pigs, ducks and chickens) on the spot and the pieces distributed to everyone present. Most had their share of 'fats', satisfying their palate on the spot!
Then of course, there was an item most of the people were very keen with - seeking the lottery numbers from the deities. Wonder how much luck we will have this weekend!!!
And...the numbers are.........er...............
