Temple & Flyer

Tis daes sibeh stress... everidae i'm juz tinking of whether shld i go on for ma overseas work attachment despite having made an agreement wif my school or shld i stay for dearie. Went temple in bugis today to make a divination (qiu qian). Took veri long for juz one stick to come out. Initially all sticks were going to fall out. Scare de hell out of mi. Imagine if all fall out, ppl sure look at mi. How embarrassing. So i kept shaking till my poor hands turned wobbly. Maybe Goddess of Mercy also can't decide for mi which path is better.

Anihow, I got poem no. 28 - "The Moon is being covered up by dense clouds."
Interpretation: "Stay on the higher position to overlook the entire situation before investing time and/or money. You may encounter obstacles. Remember the darkness of night is just temporary. Any difficult situations will soon be over."

Went to a fortune teller. Told mi I got many "小人" around mi. Asked mi to postpone making a decision until "冬至." I asked him when's 冬至 and he told me it's 22 December 2009. At tat point of time it struck mi cos 22 December is our last day of trip. Maybe this trip will be the deciding factor in whether I should stay or leave?

The uncle then told mi to pray to "包公" and one other deity in order to ward off 小人. In my heart i was telling myself: "Huh! Got 包公 deity one meh? I thought in order to ward off 小人 I should go take a cobble shoes and 打小人?" And he oso asked if I've "换太岁" cos 冬至 is coming. I said haven't. In the end, I went to the second level of the HDB block opposite the temple which provides such one-stop service. Costs mi 40 bucks in total. But luckili i went to the fortune teller. If not I would have forgotten to 换太岁 and I can't imagine wat bad omen will befall on mi next year. And shit to all those 小人 around mi. You all better watch out!

I muz be veri clear-headed, and can't be obscured by the clouds. I shall now give maself till 22 dec to decide, the day when those clouds will lift eventually.

How I wish the temple is juz right below my block. Carrying my stupid and heavy sling bag there almost everi week is no joke. Sooner or later I can see myself walking slanted, and maybe my frens can see me selling tissue papers outside the temple on one fine day...

Took to the sky today on Singapore Flyer. Dog and I took advantage of the student promotion at 10 bucks per ride, which I thought it was a steal! Now the Flyer indeed is propelling Singapore's standing as the leading Asian leisure destination, and providing Singaporeans with a technologically-advanced iconic landmark, but of course, China's Great Beijing Wheel will soon overtake us in 2010.

I asked dog if he got bring along plastic bag.

Dog: Bring plastic bag for wat?

Me: Just in case the flyer break down again and you need to pee?

Dog: Oh no need la! You just open your mouth can already!

Me: Knnccb!

Anyway, dog pee anywhere!

From the top, I could see veri clearly the skyline of Singapore and beyond. From the bottom, everything is obscured by the tall buildings and seem full of obstacles. Another analogy?

Met up with siew mai at ps, before having dinner at waraku in Cuppage. Onli paid 14 bucks cos dog got voucher, which he got from his complaint about the slow service at changi airport the other time. 害me oso can't eat conscientiously. Thank God today's service at waraku was very 'up.' Pretty lady who's attentive and fast. If not I can imagine seeing another dining voucher the next time I meet my dog. Hush hush for now and don't bark!

Finalli i am home.
