Do you know any supernatural games that open the gateway to a dark, hostile and incomprehensible world? Have you played them before or heard anything about it? Read on and let me tell you more about it.

Some of you might have read that in some of my true ghost stories and Chinese superstitions, I have often referred to examples in Mr Zhou’s Ghost stories. If you are not familiar with Mr Zhou’s Ghost stories, it is a radio segment hosted by Singaporean actor/DJ Dennis Zhou and DJ Nana/Chen Lina, every Friday from 11 pm to 12 midnight (except during Chinese New Year periods and holiday season), at Singapore Love 97.2fm. You can also listen to their podcasts from November 2017 till present with MeListen and Spotify apps.

Chinese Culture: Do you believe in spirit babies?

In Chinese culture, they are called 婴灵 (Yīng Líng). They are believed to be the souls of babies who were aborted, miscarried, stillborn, or who died shortly after birth. Often, they are not properly buried—especially in cases of abortion in hospitals, where remains may be disposed of as medical waste. In many cases, they are also not given a name or a memorial tablet.

According to Chinese beliefs, these souls are helpless and may linger in the human world, unable to be reborn. This is thought to be especially true for those who were aborted, as their circumstances may give rise to resentment or unrest. Some believe that such spirits may haunt their loved ones—particularly their biological mother—bringing misfortune or harm to the family.

Take a Look at Traditional Chinese Funeral Mourning Clothing

Today, I want to take you back in time—to a tradition that is quietly, and rapidly, fading away: traditional Chinese funeral mourning clothing.

A Visit to Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel

When you visit Rome, you also should visit the smallest country in the world – Vatican City. It is a country and a city at the same time. It is surrounded by Rome and it is the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church. There is no passport control around the border as you can enter or exit freely. Although there was not much greenery around, it was very clean and tidy.

Ticket to Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

On day two, we walked from our hotel to the ticket booths at the Roman Forum just after 10.30am. It was straightforward to locate and there were hardly any queues at all. We showed them our daughter’s disability card at the ticket booth and they offered us a disabled ticket and carer tickets for free. EU children under 18 can get free entry. Hence we only paid 18 euros for one adult.

We Went To Rome, Italy

Last week, we took an early flight via Birmingham Airport and departed for Rome. The airport staff are always great with people with disabilities or travelling with young families. We were grateful that we were fast-tracked through most of the queues and went straight to security. At the gate, I do hate it when we have to take the shuttle bus to board the plane. It always takes so long to get everyone onboard and getting a visually impaired child up those metal stairs in bright light with loud engines running is not easy.

Your fellow players will have to guess how the victim will rank the scenarios. It is suitable for ages 10 and above and for three to six players (best to play with 3 to 4 players).

Here are 5 Reasons Why You Should Regularly Clean Your Home

We all know how important it is to regularly clean your home, but it’s definitely much easier said than done. With the long hours that we spend in the office at work, as well as our other commitments and plans, it feels kind of impossible to find the time for some cleaning tasks, but it’s definitely worth getting into the habit of.

What to prepare for the Return of the Soul Night Day 7

Two years ago, I wrote an article on Day 7 The Return of The Dead Night, and only briefly wrote about the dos and don’ts of the night. After watching the collaboration between the Hellbank YouTube channel with Affinity Funeral Service’s video, it prompted me to do some research through my relatives and friends in Singapore on what to prepare for the Return of the Soul night.

Just a word of warning, this does not apply to all Chinese people or religions, it is mostly what Chinese people believe in Singapore. It is mainly Chinese superstitions or customs that have been passed down the generations, you can choose to believe it or not.
