SINGAPORE, HWA CHONG INSTITUTION Today, 20th August 2009, marks the start of the 7th Month, or commonly known as the Ghost Festival! In this special edition of The Distillation Melayu, Grassoat, Senior Editor, will bring you interesting facts and ghost stories that you will never find anywhere else! Who let the ghosts out?

Legend Satu - Haunted Bukit Timah Hill
During the 7th Month, it is said that one should not climb or visit Bukit Timah Hill during the early morning or late night as it has been reported that ghosts are randomly seen there. This might be due to the killings during the Japanese Occupation by the Sook Ching. These ghosts also carry knives, finding revenge. Will they be able to revenge Sook Ching and bring her to justice?

Fun Fact: Ghosts are the most active during Tuesdays. I don't know why, don't ask me.

Legend Dua - Sook Ching Can Predict
Yesterday, just one day before the 7th Month, the Sook Ching had a toothache (or mouthache). Yet, she refuses to visit the dentist. Something sinister? (Alliteration) Is this a sign of the start of a ghostly, bad month? Only Sook Ching will know. And only Sook Ching will show.

Fun Fact: Sook Ching will never reveal unless you trade Billy Wang's Cooking Book with her.

Legend Tiga - Never Look Between Your Legs
Not even if you drop a coin. It is said that if you bend down and look between your legs, you will offend your ancestors who are eating and they might storm angrily at you. Dare to try? (I got this from a website over the Internet. It's true.)

Fun Fact: This usually happens only during or after you offer them food. You should know about this.

Legend Empat - Hantu Babi
This is Joel's favourite word, so he might be related to them. Please be careful when coming into contact with Joel. There might be two unfortunate events: Being possessed by a hantu (ghost) OR get babi flu (swine, pig). And you won't get your hamster anymore.

Legend Lima - Toilet Ghost, True or False?
Once, a student went to the toilet and never came back. After ten minutes, the Sook Ching was impatient and asked the monitor to go to the toilet to get his handphone. However, the monitor returned, saying that he could not find anyone inside the toilet. Sook Ching did not believe it and decided to go to the toilet to check. To enter the toilet, she used her built-up strength from climbing Bukit Timah Hill to push open the door and entered it. Seconds later, there was a scream, followed by Sook Ching running out of the toilet.

What happened?

The Distillation Melayu decided to research on this legend. After the research study, we finally cracked the case.

There was a shout when Sook Ching entered the toilet. We found out that it was the male students in the toilet who shouted.
Sook Ching running out of the toilet was due to her being embarrassed for entering the boys' toilet.
And the boy? On the way back from the toilet, he was asked by the music teacher to help him catch the squirrel.

Case closed.

In Other News: Must Bring Anot?
Another Low, but High Class (LHC) catchy phrase invented to go with the GeoShit Theme Song - Must Bring Anot? (MBA) Boys, I thought I told you already? Of course need lah. Today must finish, tomorrow must review. Saturday then I check lah if I feel like it. If not then never mind lah. All your other homework I also never go through. One less never mind. Am I right anot?
