I saw Chew Hui's blog mentioned about her Chinese Lunar Birthday. I surfed all over the net to find a English site which can convert our birth date to Chinese Lunar Calendar.

I am not really sure what's the use of our Chinese Birthday. It seems like it has something to do with marriage or health. Maybe fortune-telling?? I don't know. I DID NOT really believe in fortune-telling until one day my family went to this very famous fortune-teller. I forgot the location but it's down south. He lives in a small house. His source of income is from the donation of people who come to ask for his advice. He only attends to a limited number of people a day. I think it's 10 if I am not wrong.

Below is a summary according to what my parents told me. I was at here already when they paid him a visit.

The queue was very long during the first day they went. Nearly 10+ people when they reached there at 7am. Numbers were already fully booked for the day but lucky enough to get the second day's numbers.

Those who got the numbers are invited to sit in the small hall awaiting their turn. The Q&A session was done in the center of the hall itself, so that everyone could hear.

Due to my serious memory loss, I am unable to recall the questions they asked. Haha. But I know that my parents shifted some of the furniture here and there. And, things started to get better!

I guess even some of the "side effects" are spilling to me too! Not in terms of finance, but for health, yes! At least, the illness is not coming back until this very second.

As for love....hmmm..we shall leave it for another day. Time to have dinner! :P
