The lunar calendar is always one month later than the English calender, meaning if now is August, Lunar is July.

Sometimes of the year we get twin months, tats called Ren Yue. Twin meaning there are double Julys or Double Mays, depending on where it is fixed. Such that it ties in with the English calender.

This year there is twin month in May, otherwise it will fall behind by 2 months.

This is due to the cycle and days, becoz chinese calender only has 29 or 30 days.

First day of seventh month for this year, also known as the Ghost month, falls on the 20th August 2009, which is this coming Thursday.
:eek: *applause*

I dun subscribe to these beliefs all along. In fact, when i was younger, i found that the best time to swim was during the 7th month... less people, can have more space to do my laps.. kekeke... Anyway, i think for bb swimming, you're looking at bb all the time so shld be safe. Dun need to be too paranoid about it. So many people looking in when babies are 'swimming' at hwaxia anyway... very safe. :)

my mum say dun call the name so tt the "good fren" wont know the name, if not will follow the child i think?
also, my gf told me, at night after 9-10 pm, dun cook, dun leave food on the table overnight, either finish up, keep away or throw. cos these "frens" r hungry, n they might think u leave it for them.
cos my gf can sense these tings, n once she was online til very late, n she forgot to eat her dinner, then she can sense got 3-4 "frens" hopping up n down at the dining table. so she faster finish up n then "they left".

also, when u walking on the st alone with no one, n if u hear someone call your name, dun turn arnd.
if smell anything fragrant/stinky out of no where, (as in if u r not near a rubbish dump or anything) dun comment loudly abt it, if not the smell will follow u....
these r some tt i heard, hv alot tt my frens tell me abt..... so scary!



anyway, back to topic, my mum also asked me nt to bring pin out too late, which i wont. better safe than sorry.
