Lu Tahu Tak?

Maybe u’ve heard it before.. from older generations..
That simply poking holes on ur face and head will change ur luck..
For good or worst.. Mostly they’ll say the more holes u have, u’ll face the latter.

Two weeks ago, my mom discovered that I pierced another hole on my ear which was the 3rd one. She was like..

"Why u pierce so many holeS?! Do u know u can POH SUI? (Break luck - direct translation) Look at ur Sam Sam, (My uncle’s wife who’s living a very lavish life now - she serves as a baby machine and a walking latest hair style and fashion trends) she got no piercings on her ear! Take urs off now!"

Wondering why my mom connects piercings to my aunt’s ear? Apparently she has no holes. And as I mentioned, she’s a living, walking $$ who only needs to produce babies and look pretty. Her hubby sayang’s her so much that he gave her a sports car, top handbag brands - LV’s, Coach and etc, bring her around the world (jus exagerating but u get my point.) and bla bla bla.

How does piercing is connected to my aunt? My mom, the superstitious scientist came out with this theory.
"She doesn’t have any piercings on her face and body. See her luck so good?! Only those un-educated ones will simply pierce many holes. Look at those VCD and Handphone dealers? All so Bo-Che-Euoh (em sam em sei - i dunno what’s the translation for english but she meant those kinda jing jang joe’s u see at Sg. Wang ler)

I was like .. "wtf?"
I’ve seen successful people with holes that’s enough to tear a piece of their ear.
Who elsE? Celebrities la.. got see them suffer before or not?!
*sweat*

That was my first time hearing this kinda superstition.. about piercings..
To me, I pierced because I felt "gatal’ed" at that point.. Wanna syok sendiri. I did not ask for anyone’s permission that time coz I thought, who would bother and noticed?

Bad move.. I had lotsa problems after it because my 3rd hole. Not bad lucks or whatever. I faced not so positive responses from er.. people who were close to me. They gave me a hard time because of the 3rd hole. Apparently, it made me look wilder..
=_="

Who cares anyway… to tell u the truth, my mom’s theory definitely didn’t apply to me. Not that I’m superstitious or wut.. Ever since I got my 3rd hole, I had .. pretty lotsa good luck..

The day after I pierced my ear, I received a call from my friend. He offered me a job that pays really well for quite an easy task. 2 weeks project. That’s reallly reallly good ya know. 4 digit pay. For this project, I had to drive to Cheras Maxis Center every morning. That place is known for limited parking space and amazingly, no matter what time I reach, I’ll always get a parking space very near to the Maxis Center. Some of my colleagues weren’t too lucky =P My job was to follow a Maxis supervisor to train the Hotlink dealers about Hotlink’s New Plans. Lucky for me, my supervisor was a super nice guy. And the area that I covered wasn’t tough compared to my other colleagues who had to cover Sg. Wang and Pertama Complex. The dealers there are known to be notorious. Thank goodness for me, mine was all quite good people. At least they paid attention to me while I train them. My training skills however were not .. er.. very good as I had to converse in Cantonese and to those of u who know me well, u know how bad I sound trying to speak the Canto.

Anyway, back to the main story, as I was saying that my 3rd hole brings me luck.. My 2nd luck came when I went for the casting for the Nescafe ad. If u’ve read in my previous post, I said I went for the casting outta pure fun. I had nothing to do anyway. I never had any hopes of getting into the ad.

Yesterday, I received a call from my agent. He wanted my body measurements.

I GOT INTO THE AD! My first TV Commercial.. I’ve been to several castings before and I failed all =( but alas.. LUCK Prevails! Hehehehe..
Though I’m only like the featured talent not main talent.. But still.. At least I’ll get to experience what is it like to be in the production of a TV ad!

In conclusion, does my 3rd piercing affect my life up til now? So far, it’s been helping me alot =P Not that I’m superstitious or what.. My mom’s theory… does not apply to me at all. So am I gonna take it out?! Hell no! Hahaha..

I wanna pierce my NOSE … Should i? Hehehe..

Ps : Actually Chinese ppl do believe that changing one’s face will also change their luck. That is why ppl remove moles because they believe that the particular mole may bring bad luck to them. So long u modify ur face, it will change the course of your life. Piercing is a form of modification. So.. That’s why people pierce their ears in the first place.
