I have been feeling a bit down lately, and obviously, not really in the mood to write much.
I might regret saying this in the future. *Might*, being the key word. Maybe I won't regret it after all. Recently, being a proud Asian that I am; I went to see a fortunate teller.
This is my source of 'being in the rut' lately.
Originally, I had planned to get married in 2008, and after I have settled into my Hong Kong life. However, this is apparently not what she saw in my near future.
Don't get me wrong, I will still get married, according to her, but the time line urgently needed to be moved up to this year.
Even as soon as July of 2007. As you can tell, this has caused me quite a bit of stress. I am not even physically in Asia at the moment, and I needed to start planning already?
This all sounded ridiculous to me, and of coz I was totally freaked out!!
On top of that, she mentioned that if I don't get married in the first half of 2007, N & I will break up at the end of this year.
Let's just say....
It's better not knowing anything at all.
I don't believe that I should rush into marriage, nor should I believe the fact that N & I will break up if we are not married right away.
I was in a bit of a rut due to the fact that, I can't believe I brought myself to go see her!!
N thought I was temporarily insane after the fortune telling session....
I heard my fortune, I went nuts, I came home, and I called him....
And warned him that if we break up at the end of 2007.....
I am taking half of his assets....
Hahahahahahahahhahahhaa................
It really sounds funny now....
But, imagine the dead silence at the end of the cordless headset......
It wasn't pretty at all.
I could sense World War V creeping up my spine.

Ever heard of a "self-fulfilling prophecy"? If you try to force this marriage, both of you will have so much stress and begin to rip at the seams, and you'll run into huge trouble. And at the sign of any relationship problems, you'll be thinking, "This is it. This is exactly what that fortune teller said." Maybe not outright, but it'll be in the back of your mind. So you might choose to give up, thinking, "It just wasn't meant to be."
That, Jean, is stupid.
Don't fall into superstition and claptrap. You're better than that. Honestly. Don't throw your money at charlatans expecting that someone hunched over a $2 crystal ball can magically guide you through life.
And, pray tell, what was the benefit of you "finding out" these things? Does it make you feel better? NO.
Is it helping you make better decisions? Fuck, no.
Is it aiding your relationship? HAHAHAHHAAHHAHA NO.
So what's the point? Asian or not, there is no need to unnecessarily complicate your already-complicated life.
YOU run the show. YOU make the decisions. There is no such thing as fate. And if there was, there's nothing you can do to change it, so you might as well just stop trying to find out and live, because it's fated that you can't find out anyway, n'est-ce pas?
oh, you can't take half of his money, the marriage hasn't lasted one year, it will be very difficult to have a case for equal share of the assets. also, you want me to teach you how to get married before jul 07? I will give you a hint, small S...
btw, I believe in fate, but i don't believe in calculating fate, I don't think fate can be predicted.
oh, going back to noodle's point on fate, that is why i don't believe in religion, ppl seek answers when they are in rut, either religion or fortune telling...
Well, exactly the point. Very well put guys! My whole point was not that I don't believe in fate. But, actually listening to her makes me feel out of control from my life.
It is indeed better not knowing it. People always go, and see what the fortune says. Just like how people read the horoscopes. But, the point is not to let it bother you.
We know that it's just something fun to read about, but it's not really going to direct you in any way.
Oh...by the way, Mr. Lamb...I don't want to know how to get married ASAP. However, I'd like to know if you have any methods on how to get his assets pre-marriage.
Haha...;)
Ker, N thinks I am insane even when I wasn't in the fortune telling rut.
He would begin the phone conversation by saying, 'Honey, have you gone mad today?'
oh oh, i know how to follow that question, "yes, honey, im mad about you..." :) get a room ppl
Hahahaha...
Good one, Mr. Lamb!
唉唷, 啊Jean-ah, 我唸你是為你好啊 ;)
Sorry if I was being vitriolic, but I have an intense hatred of all sorts of hocus pocus, be it horoscopes, fortune-telling, tarot cards, religion, Tom Cruise and whatnot. I still stand by my point though.
We still have to watch the film togeth! However, I will unfortch be very very busy from now until probably the end of the month. Maybe on a weekend?
Hey Mr. Lamb, there's a documentary with Jean in it!! Wanna see? ;)
And what is this "small s" that Mr.Lamb is being all hinty-hinty about? Does it have to do with "susu"? Can someone please tell me what susu is? And why James gives it for free to strangers?
isn't susu the same as uncle in chinese?
At least that was what I got out of it.
Maybe Mr. Lamb has a different version of susu in mind...hahaha...
NO sharing any sort of documentary with anyone, Ker...
What's "shosho" then??
whoo... okay, i will trade my "susu" thing with noodle for Jean's documentary...
"sho4sho1" is taiwanese, we usually use it when someone is hurt.
"small s" is a celebirty in taiwan, she has a sister "big s", she is the tw version of "paris hilton", well, almost... btw, she is well known for being pregenat before getting married.
Geez...
We need to brush Ker up on Taiwanese gossip.
Also, shosho means, when a child is hurt, and the mother comforts the child.
In Mr. Lamb's case, it's a girl comforting him. (Preferably Small & Big S) *haha*
Still...NO SHARING of documentary of any kind....
Kay, so, let me get this straight-- "susu" is uncle, and "shosho" is comforting. Therefore, James' niece is commenting on his blog and offering to comfort him, whilst waiting for her class and... "bubu"...?!
You crazy Taiwanese. I'll never understand you. ;)
"bubu" is kid talk, it means "car"... :) get in the program, my fellow tw!
btw, will teach tw slang for exchanging of documentary viewing right...
If talking like a Taiwanese involves me using baby words, then I'd rather not, thanks very much. :P
Hahaha Jean should be very afraid... I might post the documentary up on my blog or on youtube or something!
Noooooooooooooooo...
Don't you dare, missy!!
I know where you live!!!!
I know where YOU live! HA!
