Hungry_Ghost_Month VS 080808

[Singer]

I read with interest the other thread on Do's and Dont's during this month

 

As per the above, taking into account how auspicious some group of people are when it comes to date/numbers, against the present condition, would you make 'big' decisions within this month or otherwise... For example, getting hitched, moving into new house, register/set-up a new company etc

 

Well, the word 'big' is subjective but in overall would you or would you not.

 

There is certainly no right or wrong answer. I am asking to test the ground because there could be a few 'strategic' decisions I'd have to make involving my partners and these decisions could have bearing on other matters. I might share later on what is the situation I'm in...

 

Kamxia...

Iam seriously considering to hold wedding banquet for my future wedding during 7th month..

 

firstly, its a lot cheaper..

 

secondly, no need to make booking too early..for example, quite likely I can still get a venue to hold during 7th month if I try to make a booking, say during april or may..

 

Finally, after some discussion with experts before, its not true that major events such as wedding or moving house have to be avoided at all cost during 7th month..there are still selected auspicious dates to hold during this month and as long as the date was chosen correctly, very likely there would be no 'repercussions'..

[Kxbc]

You can hold wedding but not many, esp the superstitious ones, may come attending your wedding dinner leh.

[Damienic]

If I hold wedding, will only invite very close frens and relatives...I believe majority of close frens and relatives will still attend..

[Singer]

Gd point bro...

 

Not only the person who's directly related to the occassion but the invitees also

[Singer]

... translate into savings too

 

Cost cutting esp in these times of uncertainties

[Rickster]

Scully everybody also think like that and you'll be surprised to find that during 7th month, its just as difficult to book a banquet location as well as high price

[Rayleigh]

Maybe you need to allocate a few empty tables for "friends" ......Just kidding

[Damienic]

hmmm..very unlikely..there is absolutely strong stigma abt the 7th month among singaporeans..and some couples do not have an issue with it, rather, its their parents who is dead against the idea..

[Singer]

hahahaaa... sounds familiar

 

like taking causeway vs tuas at certain time frame

 

tuas ends up mega jam, causeway super breeze

[Singer]

I think it boils down to belief

 

I have some friends who are atheists. They are quite heck care when it comes to these supertitious matters

[Damienic]

some people might be atheist and they dun mind but if their parents were to object strongly, most of the time they will still follow the wishes of their parents and not make them angry..

 

for my case, I think its possible cos my parents also do not subscribe to the beliefs that holding wedding and moving hse during 7th month shld be avoided at all cost..

If that's the case, it borders along humanitarian matter now, with some element of culture - respect

 

Hmmm... now I have to factor in the involvement of a 3rd party

 

Wow, how 'dynamic' this belief is. Thx for highlighting

[Ellf]

I guess that it depends on that person's perception on things.
