Bits & Pieces

GONG XI FA CAI everyone *waves* now where is my ang pao ? So, how's new year treating all of you? how many ang pao did you get this year? care to share some of them with me? No? oh well can't blame me from trying... :P Anyway, I do not have any ang pao to share with you guys but I do have a few interesting stories to share, so here goes :-

Story 1

*ahem* clear throat !! what do you say to someone who is totally refused to be who she really is? beat me I don't have a freaking clue. Been pondering over this one question for a while, and my " a while" is usually hmm 2-3 months. Story starts this way..... war between my two very interesting colleagues namely : PL & Dina. Dina is a single mother blessed with two teenagers a girl & a boy. I know a little bit about her based on her inputs. but get this ,she hates Indian. (wait wait hold your horses don't get all work up or get offended by this).... truth be told she is an Indian herself. So whenever I heard her keep repeating the same phrases over how much she hated Indian, I am keeping real quiet, rubbing my chin and ponder over that statement "WHY" ? hell I have a lot of Indian friends and most of them are fairly nice to me. But I do have a not-my-problem-and-don't-ask-why policy. so all this time I am basically right ear in and left ear out. problem solved ! this has been happening for almost a year now and all this time I am fine with it. Each time she turns to me and ask " do I look or act like an Indian" my answer is rather very simple, I show her a real courteous gesture I shrug without a word. I mean what do you want me to say? I get real annoy over-time but since her mouth grew on her face, she has the right to say whatever for all I care, long as she doesn't throw me another " do I look or act like an Indian" But then here is the twist , a week ago she and PL was arguing aloud over the same pathetic issue, I happen to be there during this mouth wrestling. Out of no where she raise her voice, then she looked at me, she goes " Elyn, please tell this donkey, I am not an Indian, all this time I have been asking you do I look like an Indian or act like one? I noticed you have been evading this question, now please be honest with me" FINE !!! you want my most sincerest answer ? are you sure you can take the heat? the heat that comes from me? you sure is that what you really want? she said YES out loud...ok then so here is what I said to her.

Me : Dina, what is your religion?
Dina : Catholic I believe in GOD !
Me : What is your Ethnicity ?
Dina : She paused ! got her once.
Me : and in case you don't know what that is? what is your culture? heritage? language that you speak? song that you listen to? your cell phone ring-tones ?
Dina : mummering....
Me : The man that you are seeing now is he not Indian?
Dina : Oooooo he is different !
Me : is he or is he not Indian?
Dina : ........
Me : Now, please spare me the irritation, while I spare you the embarrassment /feelings STOP asking me this again alright?

Bottom line is, one can dislike something or someone to a certain extant, but you can never changed what is in your blood, let alone running away from what you really are. To live your life being pretentious of what you are not, man that is no life ........



Story 2



When was the last time you visited a fortune teller? rumor has it, is that fortune teller has the ability to predict your future or lucky number that is most likely to strike 1st prize. remarkable ain't it? to me, people that had visited a fortune teller is ignorant. why? here is why..

Gruesome 1

Who will be visiting a fortune teller? when one is facing a relationship problems, or keen to know if he/she is the "right" one. or maybe, breaking off is on the verge they are keen to know if there is a way to salvage? by visiting a fortune teller could help to put their mind at some level of ease. bwahahahahaha...... fact here is that, of course it is a whole lot cheaper paying a fortune teller then paying a shrink. and sometimes if you were lucky, your number came up 1st prize, common sense says " wow, the fortune teller is indeed something, the number he gave me strikes, follows with praise and rave" and common sense wins. see.....LOL

Gruesome 2

If one can predict your future , why is he/she sitting in a shack whole day or perhaps night making a chicken shit amount of money from the patron? albeit a lot I heard made their pot of gold from fortune telling. but this is just making no sense to me at all. how about them buying the potential 1st prize numbers? why gave the number to who ever that visited them? because they are kinda clever in a way. if they bet on numbers they are most likely to lose out. 2ndly giving away lucky numbers, you will be betting on their behalf with your money of course and when the number strikes, you shall be back for a donation, amount could at times be obscene. meanwhile help to spread the news, aka free promotion, good for the business. see how clever they really are.....hahahahaha


Truth here is that, if you're driving a fast car (I called this type F1 wannabe) you will be killed that takes no fortune teller to know that. If you're in a romantic relationship your partner could be someone you dream off day and night but when you do not have a right attitude, breaking off is in a matter of time, and that too takes no fortune teller. List roll on..... life is often how one make it, it has a lot with what you do,your behavior, how you live. you need no fortune teller, you can be your own fortune teller. so please don't even bother to believe a shit they pour to you.

Why me telling you all this? because I have recently visited one, not on my own freewill , I was in a car ridding with a friend, to me this friend spend most of her life living around fortune tellers, I can't say a shit about it, like I said before, I am not going to nose in when it is not my problem. 1st we have a nice lunch together, just when I thought we were heading home, she turns another way, when I ask her where are we going she grins, I hate it when she did that. anyway, reaching a strange destination, some jungle area, by the time I realized , it is rather too late to bail, I am in the middle of some unknown jungle *wtf*. so there sat this one elderly lady in her late 40s. I browse around the area, while my friend getting the so-called predicament. 30 mins later, everything was done and over. Just when I am about to leave, the lady says to me, do you want it too? (of course my evil advocate is acting up, I was thinking, I can be an ass at any given moment, so I said yea why not since I am here, but truthfully, my intention isn't about getting my fortune told, but it was all about getting her ass. I can be really mean at times). After sitting down the 1st question she asks " which year did you born" ?

Me : hey you are the fortune teller, how about you tell me for all I need to know about myself?
Lady : ..... scrutinize my face, try to read me.
Me : checking out her makeup... she should pluck/trim her eyebrow, too much blusher.
Lady : done reading me, you hold a great position in a beauty industry, management level of sort. You're married with kids. You are a real discipline person, even me fear you.
Me : holds my LOL, man it was a real torture for holding it. yea sure you should fear me, because I am ought to get your, but I'll let you keep sugar coating me while you still can.
Lady : There is nothing much to tell about your life, you have a great life.
Me : that's it? you seem to say a lot about my friend here, but me nothing further to spill? and I am paying the same price? 10 bucks?
Lady : no no, since there is nothing much to tell about you, this is free, no charge.
Me : got up, since she is being nice, I spared her.

I did say something to her, 1st my look or the kilo of makeups I put on, not necessary means I am in the beauty industry, my job has nothing to do with the makeup. So I gave her my card. 2ndly I only have a daughter, not kids. 3rdly my life isn't exactly great, I am working till my ass on smoke. lastly you are afraid of me, that is because you cannot read anything off my face, and you got something to hide so that said. but thanks anyway. Got into the car and my friend got an earful. she called me in the evening and said. " my husband said it was a wrong decision bringing you to the fortune teller" bwahahahaha.....man knows me best I guess.


p/s : I am one hell of a fortune teller myself, I might go into field after I retire. what do you think.....lol
