tin go sik yut gwong...

on the 3rd of march 2007 (or the fourteenth sun of the first moon) there was a lunar eclipse.....................
that was very special (since it was three years since the last) ......................
or it could be interpreted as an ill omen...................

in most cultures, 'light' is seen as a symbol of 'goodness' and as a form of protection against the darkness.................. and in some legends, when it is night and the moon disappears for no apparent reason, it is believed that at that point of being engulfed by the blackness, the barrier that prevents 'evil' is weakened and 'evil' has a chance to escape and to unleash its harm upon the world......................but of course it is just a legend..................................

i mean, in another folklore there is another tale that, when a lunar eclipse happens it is actually the 'heavenly dog eating the moon'.............................. ( he's not really eating the moon but is just playing a game of 'fetch').................. but because the heavenly dog is busy playing around with the moon, it means that the gates of heaven are left unguarded................... it is said that at the point when the moon had been taken by the dog, ppl from earth are able to send wishes through the gates, and those wishes that are heard by the gods and goddesses will be granted ......................................... but again it is just a folklore..................................
