To the Dead Happy "Ching Ming"

Ching Ming is around the corner, it's the day for the dead. Time for those ghosties and spirits to enjoy being pampered by chicken and "siew yuk" not to mentioned spring cleaning their houses. Oh wait, do you believe in Ghost? I often wonder how it would be like to have sighted a ghost and not be frighten about it. Maybe just maybe we can chat up and ask for 3 wishes or some people might want 'empat ekor'. Have you ever wonder if you have a pet Ghost like 'Slimer' in the Ghostbusters movie? or a servant being “Yes master, Igor be good master!”. I’m still keeping an eye out for Ghosts in all my 28 years living besides the usual story telling from my friends of their Ghostly encounters. If there's any Ghost reading this, please come visit me outside Kedai Magnum.

OK serious, now is the time to honor all my dead ancestors, homies down below and those I miss and love who have crossed over to the other side, unable to be contacted by Handphone (I wonder if Maxis has line down there) or MSN Messenger (found a devil emoticons, I wonder if that connects me to hell?). I miss and love all my dead especially my paternal grandmother. She really made a big difference in the way my life was to be. If it's not for her I would still be in America and could have forgotten my roots. Thanks for all the sausage, bacon and eggs that you prepared every morning at your bungalow for it's a sanctuary. I wish that you're alive but I understand that was impossible, not until Ching Ming. So if the doors are open do come visit us. I give thanks for my heritage and thanks for your love. If you were alive, you would have been 80. (I think so...)

With all my love and respect to the dead.
