2 whole weeks since school started. I actually went for the make-up lecture when it's a Friday evening from 630pm-930pm. So proud of and sympathetic with myself. My elective appeal was rejected, meaning I'll have lessons from 830am till 730pm on Tuesdays. What a beautiful semester.
I was giving
little bro a crash course before he took his PSLE oral. They added this new section called conversation on top of the reading and picture discussion, so I was asking him about environment conservation. I asked him "Have you seen people litter in the streets of Singapore and if so, what did you think about their actions"? He went "Yes, once at East Coast Park I saw some Indians throwing rubbish on the floor......"
Omg what has the school been imparting to kids nowadays.
I must have been nuts to have added my
pastor on facebook! But then again he's a nice guy. Before I added him I realise 30 over youths have already gotten him in their contacts. We sort of know each other personally, so that wouldn't kill :)
CCA Fair was this week.
Rachel and I were on our way to Hall 8 to distribute our WSC flyers. We chanced upon a palm-reading booth at the old Can A and out of the blue I suggested getting our palms read. Like seriously, for 20 years of my life I've never gotten my fortune told or face or palm or birth characters read. Don't really believe in them too, since I'm a Christian. But I guess I was just bored and we had nothing better to do.
Master Khor read from my right palm that I'm an intuitive person and I generally am a lucky girl. For every person he would write the important points on his name card, so it's sort of like advertising his business at the same time. Some smart business geek huh. But the first thing he wrote for me was "xiao xin tao hua". I just stared at Rachel and we started giggling. Like please, if there was really tao hua why am I still single when I was dying to get married since 16 :D
Then as he peered through his magnifying glass he spotted a fish on my palm. It's basically just lines on your palm that intertwines to form a shape of a fish, but according to him that's super rare, probably out of 1000 people 10 have it. The funnier thing was that fish meant I "wang fu", meaning I'll bring prosperity to my husband and I'll be the woman behind a successful man. I don't really want to wang fu,but since the fish is super rare, ok lah I'm a lucky girl.
Throughout the whole time kept saying I'm very proud, like both in English and Mandarin at least 5 times. After a while I got quite curious and asked him what exactly did he mean by I'm very proud. Then he explained I'm those kind who wouldn't tell a guy I like him even if I'm head over heels in love with him. Heh and he told me I'll only have one "hong hong lie lie" relationship.
Career wise, he said I'll "kao ren yuan" in the working world (means what I only rely on people and not my competence meh), so it would be good if I can venture into auditing. He told Rachel she's a natural leader, so to climb up the corporate ladder she'd most probably marry late. Rachel was quite sad after hearing that..lols.
I'm not that concerned about what he said, but I just find it amazing that one can tell so much just from the palm. Quotes from an article he printed out to give us: contrary to the common belief that your palm is static, Master Khor says the lines are ever changing. In fact, depending on the individual, they can even change in a day, depending on your actions or behaviour. The only lines that don't change are those foretelling catasrophe. I have no idea how true is that. Maybe when I'm free and I have nothing better to do, I'll go find out more about palmistry. His website:

Xueling,
Priscilla and
Li-li in school, I think I influenced them into giving the palmist some business :) Oh wells, all for some fun and laughter. I don't even know if there is any basis on it.
Yesterday after meeting
Ami, I got home in a sleeping trance and slept all the way till next day afternoon. School really makes me age faster. Three 830 lessons per week has just shortened 1 year of my life.
And
Willie, you better practise your guitar and don't let my effort go to waste!
Joke of the day: Two tourists are driving through Wales. They decide to stop for a bite to eat in the village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (this is the name of a real town). Baffled by the name, one of them turns to a local and asks, "Would you please say where we are - very slowly?" The Welshman leans over and says "Burrr-gerrr Kinnggg."
