Eerie Sighting on New Year's Day

More then a year ago, "Full House Noodle Shop" which occupies 2 shops opens along Joo Chiat road. Business wasn't good from the start. The signature dish is Taiwan Won Tan with real prawn, however the price is steep at $5 in coffee shop setting. Over the year the owner attempted a few make over selling additional dishes and the last I had notice is part of the shop is transform into a open Internet Cafe. However it has since close for a couple of weeks, perhaps more.

Yesterday, when I passed by, the shop is open. Hmm... I thought what are they selling during new year's day. Took a peek. It's a coffin sitting in the middle of the shop! I was taken aback and notices there are a couple of other people mourning besides it.

This morning, saw 4 to 5 people wearing chef uniform coming from the direction of the shop and give me the creep.

Anyway, I am speculating, as I have seen the young owner before, this looks like a suicide case, why do they did what they did, I don't know.

Sad. RIP.

What make you think it's the young owner, may be his older generation?

or may be _ like you said_ it's one of their make over become funeral parlour :eek:

Can you confirm your speculation?

Unlikely, unless I hear about it. But this is not an issue of suicide, rather, why would the owner/owners' family put the coffin inside it's eatery shop and happens to be New Year's day? If they must hold the funeral there, then place it outside the shop.

So, due to the circumstances observed, I thought it may be some kind of spell, knowing how diverse the Chinese can interpret their form of superstition?
