If you have to pee in a hole or under the tree, say 'Dear Grandpa. Grandchild seeks forgiveness peeing here' then pee else you will be disturbed by the ghost.

What are the lame facts you were taught when you were still a kid?

(eg. Mum taught me to pull my pants as high to cover my belly button as that no air would enter my tummy)

Lol! Never heard of this before. Usually never believe anything my parents say untill it is tried and tested haha.

Rubbed a hard boiled eggs on your body to extract fever worms if you have fever (Mo Tan).

Never look at naked person or risk getting "eye-needle".

Finished up your bowl of rice or risk not getting married.

Cause they have to make it childish and scary for kids, so they will listen haha, ppl are naive at young :3

i guess thats true. But they should have considered that we would totally believe it and proudly tell the world 'facts' they taugt us.

after eating during, rub salt on the inner side of the durian shells, where the flesh was.

then fill it with water, drink the salty water

it will removes the smell in the mouth.

(never try, but my dads always does it.. not sure if it's true)

bite your new pair of shoes first before you wear it, then it won't "bite" you.

(well i really did that for all my shoes since young)

all the things that you guys were taught are hilarious..!!

here another one : sit with your legs wide open and your bird will fly off.

Side track a bit. When I was still teaching, the school gals on the bus seated at the back row with legs wide open. I said, 'This is not Geylang. We don't need colour tv. Sit properly.' I should have probably told them 'If you sit like that, your colour tv will become monochrome'

Don't take picture in the dark... cos u will tae a photo of the ghost.

Don't open umbrella indoors, cos the spirit "trapped inside" will escape.

Don't put your chopsticks straight up on the bowl, cos it resembles josssticks and will bring bad luck

Don't have your meals with one leg over the other (二郎腿), or you will end up with debts.

Don't walk under a hanging laundry of a female underwear, very "sway" (bad luck) one.

At night, don't say night flower smell nice otherwise you will get night spirit attention.
