 * when i used to go to those weird temple tents outside jalan besar during the seventh month i was always confused. there was so much there, by way of symbolic imagery. there'd be a row of stupid looking horses made of cardboard. they'd be really poorly made as well! no one would look at it and think its a horse. but yet, it served a symbolic role. BUT WHAT? could we invent something that people would look at and have no idea what the fuck is going on? I'd like that actually.
-* on an aside this makes me think: what the hell is going on at grandma's house? who made all those wooden things, hanging cloths, embroidered prints, and things that compose the "temple" in their house? why isn't there somewhere i can google it and find out?  how did people come to have those beliefs and how did it become manifest in those symbols and designs??? why does no one tell me?
