Happy Halloween to all of you !! Just took this video this early morning, i bought two pumpkin and took only 2 minute for the Chef Loke to do the pumpkin carving.

After carving, it will look very plain…. but if you put this at the dark room and with candle light on and see how the effect on the pumpkin.. I called this “Grandma Pumpkin” because of the teeth.

allright see you going for Halloween Night right now at Bamboo9.. see you!!

Here come check it out the History of Jack-O-Lantern!

The jack-o-lantern’s mischievous grin has haunted our porches for years, but the Halloween tradition originated from an Irish myth. The Irish carried over the tradition of the Jack-O-Lantern to the U.S., not as a pumpkin, but as a turnip.

The orange glow that we have learned to love started with a drunk by the name of Stingy Jack, and his pint with the Devil. Stingy Jack was a trickster who was infamous for annoying family and friends with mischief. He took his chances with the Devil one night in the local pub. 610px-Jack-o’-Lantern_2003-10-31Stingy Jack didn’t want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin. Instead of paying the tab, Stingy Jack slipped the “evil” coin into his pocket which conveniently held a silver cross, and prevented the Devil from turning back into his original form.

Stingy Jack bought himself a year of freedom from the Devil, and a promise that when he died, the Devil wouldn’t claim his soul. Although the Devil gave Jack a hassle, he finally agreed and Stingy Jack freed the Devil from his pocket.

A year passed, and the Devil gave Stingy Jack a visit. Keeping with his ways, Stingy Jack tricked the Devil into climbing a tree to pick some fruit. During the Devil’s ascension, Jack carved the sign of the cross into the bark of the tree. He held the Devil captive until he agreed to leave Jack alone for another ten years.

Soon after that, our friend Stingy Jack died. He was a clever lad during his life, but faced closed gates to Heaven when he died. God wouldn’t allow the trickster to rest in his realm, and the Devil promised not to take his soul. Despite his deal with the Devil, Jack still gave him a visit. He was turned away from the fiery gates of hell. The Devil sent Stingy Jack into the darkness with only a burning coal. Jack placed the coal in a carved-out turnip, and has been roaming the earth ever since.

The Irish called the haunted figure “Jack of the Lantern”, and then eventually “of the” became “O”, coining the term we know today, “Jack-O-Lantern”.

Used as a fear tactic, like a gargoyle, the people of Ireland and Scotland carved out turnips and potatoes with ghoulish faces with the hopes of scaring away wandering evil spirits and of course, Stingy Jack. The English used large beets to create scary faces and placed them in windows or on door steps.

Immigrants from these countries to America brought the tradition. They soon discovered a native fruit to America known as the pumpkin, and found that it facilitated the purpose much better with a round surface and smooth carving.

A Jack-O-Lantern is one of the most recognized decorations of Halloween today. With elaborate designs and glowing lights, it is truly a part of history, and a strong defense in keeping wayward spirits away; especially, the clever Stingy Jack.
