Fortune Telling

I have mentioned several times that my training mates are a wacky bunch and we have lotsa fun together. Today I did something I never did before in my entire life - I went to have my fortune told!

Our batch has been split into experienced and inexperienced tracks now. Some of us experienced folks are relaxing and enjoying our 'self-study' period before the actual exams. So yesterday, 5 of them went to see a fortune teller at Redhill during lunch.

After they came back, they shared their experiences with us and how accurate it was. For me, I just listened with an open mind and I found it really intriguing that my colleagues were raving about their little visit.

This morning, one of them wanted to go again. She didn't get her fortune told as the time wasn't right. But in the few minutes of consultation, she was 'told' that she would be packing her bags soon and flying to a place she just came back from. Prior to joining the company, she went Tokyo on a holiday. Then after the fortune telling session, she had a team meeting with her boss, and the boss told them that if they hit their sales target for Q3, they will be awarded with an incentive trip to Tokyo. So, she was a little freaked out.

I thought it sounded very interesting, and I decided to tag along today. I was a little scared at first, but in the end it turned out to be quite OK. So 3 of us headed there today to pay a visit.

The process was pretty simple. We just provide birthday and time of birth and the fortune teller would refer to her almanac and some references and start to rattle off. Then she would read my palm lines, and look at my facial features such as my nose, ears, mouth, eyes.

I was a little shocked at how accurate her readings were. I actually thought the palm lines were the most accurate ones. For all of us, it was the standard affair - career, love life, family. We don't even need to ask anything, she will just start automatically. I was surprised at how spot on she was with certain matters, and accurate to the extent where she could name me the exact month. She even told me that the next two months would be torturous for me. Why am I not surprised to hear that?

The most scary thing was when she pointed to my left arm under my long sleeved business shirt and said that there's a mole there. There was no way she could have seen it, and I came home to check and confirmed that I really do have one at where she pointed. And she did it for one of my colleagues too during yesterday's session.

I shan't reveal too much information about the other readings here, after all, it's personal!

Was nearly tempted to go sing karaoke with some of them this evening, but I thought I better stay home tonight (and be a homely crab) and type this entry for someone to read. And the someone will know I'm talking about her. No emails to read, so read blogs lor. =)
