My palm, my life
His ultra-friendly megawatt humsup smile has further strengthened my cynicism in fortune-telling. I sat in a corner quietly weighing in every single boo-shit that he uttered to my mom and my aunties.
Mr Chink-Eyes said that my dad has a mistress in his life. And if my dad doesn't have a mistress, then my mom will definitely have a lover in her life. Whatalottaofbullshit I tell you. Until today, I have yet to see anyone of them goes astray.
Since I'd had enough of his boo-shit, I stood up and prepared to leave his 'office'. At that spilt second he called out to me. He said, "Girl, may I have a look at your palm?"
I turned around and replied, "Errr uncle... I am here to accompany my mom and my aunties only. I am not here for any palm-reading."
"I just want to give you a few FREE advices only." He insisted.
The thought of letting my palm read and touch by a humsup old ci-pek is enough to send a chill down my spine. I looked at my mom and my aunties' direction for help. And instead of rescuing me from the evil's clutches, they said to me, "Let him read your palm laa. It's FREE wot!"
AAaarrrgggghhhh!!! They are REAL traitors! I SO SO SO wanted to scream murder!!!
I had no choice but to show him my palm. He held up my hand briefly and he said,
"Did you leave home (to study or work in a faraway land) at a very tender age?"
"Do you know that your current bf is not your life partner?"
"You life partner comes back from overseas."
"This guy will come into your life in your late twenties."
"Look out for men with this, this and this animal signs."
I gaped at him with my mouth forming a big 'O'.
"HA HA HA!!! How ridiculous!!!" I thought.
I didn't really bother to take in ANY of his boo-shit at that time because I really believed that I would eventually settle down with my ex. But then Mr Chink-Eyes got lucky and hit the jackpot. Me and my ex split up in the end.
Yesterday my aunt called me up and asked if I would like to follow them to get my palm read by a professional palm-reader who resides in her housing area this coming weekend.
I turned her offer down. Why?
1. If everyone's fate can really be read and predicted, then there won't be anymore beggars or unfortunate people in this world. Everyone will be a winner and everyone will be happy.
2. Why should I let someone dictate my life?
3. If you are really fated to walk down that path alone, no matter what you do or not do in your life, you will ultimately end up in the same path too.
4. Ignorance is bliss. The less you know, the happier you are.
5. If the palm reader can really foresee and forecast people's lives, do you think he will still be sitting there reading your palm ar, HUH?
