Kreta Ayer Merchant Association 7th Month Celebration (牛車水商聯中元會)

After a week's resting at home, today, I decided to bring my Mum to Chinatown to have our dinner and also, using the opportunity to drop by the 7th Month Celebration Tentage set-up beside Tooth-relic Temple.

Knowing that every year, Kreta Ayer Merchant Association will conduct Grand Celebration for 7th Month, but out of my expectation, this year, the Association is holding a Bigger Celebration, this is a Good Sign.

Upon finishing our Dinner, my Mum and I walked towards the Tentage. Just as we were crossing the Road from Greatwall Coffee-shop, we saw the Salvation Lantern being Set-up at one of the Corner at Blk 335A, so I decided to stop by to take some Pictures (Pic 01 - 03).

Upon the Arrival at the Tentage and from the Set-up, we noticed that Cantonese Taoist Priest Group, Nan Wu Rong Xin (南無榮新) was being engaged for the Salvation Ritual, which I always thought that was Cantonese Taoist Priest Group Nan Wu Xiang (南無祥).

Due to the Celebration has not yet started, so most of the Paper Figurines were not yet being Dotted (Pic 08 -09) and the Spiritual Notice was not yet Enhanced (Pic 19 - 24).

After a round of taking of Pictures, my Mum decided to make a move and so, we headed home.

PS: Something sad to know is that, some of the Information given on the Explanation Display Board are Not Accurate.
