Do You?

Do you believe in Chinese horoscopes? Or any horoscopes for that matter? I try to tell myself that it is balderdash, but it is so hard to resist, especially when it sounds so good. Sometimes, I believe that when you keep concentrating on the GOOD aspects of the horoscope, you send out good / positive vibes, and naturally, attract good things your way. Meanwhile, if you keep concentrating on the BAD aspects, you’re in a negative vibe, and even the smallest, teeniest trouble comes your way, you would be like, “I knew it! The horoscope said that that would happen.”

A wise friend once told me – why don’t you try reading the horoscope for ALL the other star signs… I bet it’s so general that ALL of it can apply to you. I found that it was half true… some of it was, and some of it wasn’t. But that was the same for my OWN star sign – some of it was true, and some of it wasn’t.

I guess it’s so hard to accept it as balderdash when Tron and I have superbly 100% matching horoscopes whether following the Western one or the Chinese one.

Gotta be at work in a few hours time — didn’t take any leave this year. Then again, I’m used to not taking leave during the CNY period. This year is my most no CNY spirit… I didn’t buy any new clothes (oh, the shirt I’m wearing in the above pics are new (with tags some more!) but I didn’t buy it for CNY this year. I bought it almost 1.5 years ago!! This is what happens when you buy stuff wholesale.. you can get so much bang for your buck. And I tell ya, it’s not the only item with tags still on it in my room…), and the family ain’t really celebrating together. Mom and dad fell sick, so we were quarantined at home so as not to spread the viruses outside. My sister is still in confinement, and though she badly wants to visit my maternal grandpa, she was barred from doing so by my mom. I haven’t seen my nephew since Sunday (I think) and I miss him badly. He is so lovely and I’m starting to become a capital-A awesome aunty…

Tron and his family also were not around during the holiday period, so it was even more sien… anyway, he’s now back, can’t wait to pass him all the CNY goodies we have packed up for his family!
