(5) Do not shout out loudly, even if u saw one of "them", pls try not to shout, if not, u will awaken others

(6) Mom always told me not to whistle or practice blowing my flute at night when i was younger...

(7) I made it a little patang to myself to shut the umbrella after i reach the shade on a rainy night. coz sometimes, a spirit might decide to hitch a ride with u under ur umbrella to avoid the rain but u go shut the umbrella in the rain n the spirit got wet & pissed and u'll receive a big slap from it (this happened to my friend's fren)

(8 ) During eating alone in a quiet place (maybe if u cant stand it)throw some rice over the floor n say come lets share

(10) Never let broom wipe over ur leg.. Bad Luk..

(11) Do not walk over a book (which is lying on floor)...it gonna make you STUPID !!

(12) Dont straight go in ur house when u jus come bak from the forest or jungle stay outside for 5 munites lidatThis is because in jungle they will folo u...so if u straight in ur home ,they will live in ur home cos it's comfertable.But if u stay out for 5 min , it will go sumwhere else

(13) Dont Call Out If Smell Something Nice Or Not NiceIf ur at jungle, Sure smell smtg like sh!t or tree's smell ma.. IF SUDDENLY the Smell "very nice smell" or "fragment smell" Dont say out.. Might b things beside u, Coz ur GOODLUCK mode, So u cant c them, But u can smell their body smell..

(15) Your hair should not always cover your forehead will coz you to have bad luck..


Food / Eating habit

(1) Watch what you EAT !Seldom eat beefs or Piggy's meat.. It brings u bad luk and ez been followed by spirits.. Never touch Sheeps Meat, Cow Meats, Pig Meats, when you pray to Guan Ying .... If you eat the Meat during dat year.. Means sins ady.. . Unless you wait and pass the day of Guan Ying's Big day

(2) Do not take chopstick hit bowls..For this I know 2 versions. One is such action is some kind of curse and if you do that while dining with others, it means you are trying to curse someone. Although such cursing thing won't be believed by much people but it's still impolite to do so.The other story is knocking the bowl with chopsticks is like summoning the ghost so you can give them your offerings as respect.


SLEEP

(1) one more is when you sleep dont sleep like a dead body which means you sleep then both legs straight like tat and you hand also put straight at both side...dont sleep like this coz they said you sleep in this way those spirit will easily possesed into your body...try to sleep with a bit pattern XD dont like a dead corpse then enough

(2) Got pantang said that don't sleep with ur back facing the ceiling,cause if so,u'll easily get posses by spirit

>-->O <-- Door

(4) Dun face window If got window.. And the window outside was maybe.. Like.. Nothing ady.. (Means like flat de)Then U better put curtains.. to avoid smtg weirdos looking..

(5) Don't sleep with a mirror right in front of you

Mirror ---> >-->O

In front of your bed don't put m mirror, it'll drain your soul. My grandma used to tell me not to sleep infront of a mirror. i think it's either becos ur mirror image will turn evil and attempt to suck ur soul in and take over ur body, or it's becos if u wake up at night u might see something u do not want to see in the mirror...If ur mirror cover with cloth or any cotton..Its okay de.. ^^Never let it mirrored out your face when you're sleeping..

(6) Dont Sleep Facing Door At Night..

Door ---> >-->O

Never sleep with both you leg point direct towards the doorway...there is believe that only DEAD body are placed with leg facing directly towards door. You know why? if someone pass away, they family member will place his/her body head face to interior and foot face to door. Is mean he/she gonna leave this home soon. So you just have to move your bed aside as long your leg not face to door.

(7) Don't put any sharp/weapons on your bed. You won't sleep well.
