Omens (CNY Specials)

You know, most Chinese people believe in omens and superstitions. They almost made it came true just by believing in it. Well, definitely not me. Especially in pre-Chinese New Year period, everything you dreamt about is the one you should believe in.


Lately, I dreamt that I've become somewhat of a God of Wealth. Everywhere I go, there's gonna be people asking me for ang pau. I kept on saying that I have no money, my PTPTN loan haven't even come out yet! What a pathetic God of Wealth. I even took an oath to myself, for the next person asking me for ang pau, I'll start throwing punches.


Right after I woke up, I thought about my dream for a while. Every sorts of crazy ideas came barging into my skull. What if I am the assigned God of Wealth for this year? And the God of Wealth that all Chinese are waiting for haven't even got his PTPTN loan yet. Now that's some dramatic crap to write about in your movie manuscript.


Does that mean I will bring poverty to all Chinese people this year? Wow, I have a creative mind. And while I'm drinking green tea at my breakfast (Yeah, I'm on diet), I thought that I won't provide wealth to others if I should be the God of Wealth. I'll provide forgiveness and mercy to everyone that needs it. Now don't you go calling me the Goddess of Mercy as in Kuan Yin. It doesn't take a goddess to forgive others. Besides, aren't that the purpose of festive celebrations?


On second thought, I would definitely trade the God of Wealth job with being a boyfriend this year. Somehow, it beats being someone who gives out wealth to others.


Happy Chinese New Year.
