When I woke up this morning, it was to a smell that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
At first, I thought it was someone burning offerings. Because hungry ghost month mah.
Then I realised that people usually burn offerings on the first day, the 15th and the last day of the hungry ghost month which is 31st Aug 2016.
So yes, the haze is back.
