中元到中秋

My company has an annual ritual of making offerings to the good brothers (好兄弟) during 中元节. This year is no exception either. Although I missed the prayer session on the 1st day of the Ghost Festival, I did managed to make it back in time for the burning of offerings.

Today I had the luxury to participate in the entire ritual as I managed to end job on time. At 6pm, we started to set up the altar outside our office.



Did you notice the huat kuay (发糕)?



It is BIG!!! And why do I say it is big? It is not just because it looks big...



Because even on the receipt it says BIG!!!

Well, now that the Ghost Festival is officially over, it is time to move on & get ready for 中秋节 aka the Mooncake Festival!

Time for loads of lanterns & mooncakes!
