Anyway, while on one of those aimlessly w0ndering around sessions, I came across this gypsy fortune telling cum weighing machine. You know the kind, where you put in 20 cents and it this mechanical display starts spinning this wheel of fortune like thingy and lights start to flash and all all that.
Well, I couldn't resist trying it out. I asked wifey for 20 cents and jumped on the machine. I was kinda excited to see what the darn gypsy machine would tell of my fortune but I was also kinda worried that it was going to scream at me saying,
'Get off the scale you fat pig!'
I haven't weighed myself in years and the last known weight of mine was 64 or so kgs, which is sort of okay for my height. So, with a slight feeling of dread, I slip in the coin, brace myself while it whirs, clicks, pops, hums, spins and then with a loud resounding hiss, it spits out this piece of card with my weight and my fortune.
Well, the bad news is I'm up by 2.5kgs! OHMYGOD! I really need to stop eating so much rice. I guess it's back to my salad for dinner time again.
But then the fortune part was a riot. I showed it to wifey and she looked at me, rolled her eyes and said,
'Well, at least it got the ALTHOUGH not easy to live with part correct'
And then laughed her head off! The cheek of her. LOL! But she has a point. I can be a pretty hard person to live with at times, what with me being a grouch and having extremely stubborn tendencies half the time. I wonder how interesting a marriage partner I am to her? LOL!
I wonder what it'll say next week cos I intend to have my fortune read once again. Don't look at me like that. Can you think of anything else where you can have such 'fun' with just 20 cents? LOL!
.
Haha..you tried that machine! I see it in shopping malls and just think they're waste of money and probably spilling out a bunch of pretty general stuff.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe in fortune telling. If those ppl are right, there won't be so much wrong going around coz it would all be solved..wouldn't?
Aiyoh! Don't waste your 20sen! Give me your 20sen and i will read your fortune for you. At the same time, also tell you whether you are overweight or not without giving you the exact number in kg so you don't feel so bad. haha!
ReplyDeleteWOW! u actually did this? hehehe.. last time i went on one of these.. i had a riot too with ma friend cos of the fortune telling on the back..
ReplyDeleteerrr.. didya stop by the magnum today? niceeeee number :D
do u know when is Spiffy gonna hatch? all this yolk gonna stick on him and he's gonna stink soon... *LOL*
LOL! I must try one of those soon just for kicks!
ReplyDeletelol ... i still remember this ... hard to find them in SG now and maybe it needs a S$1 coin??
ReplyDeleteNice number for 4D, though ... 8918 ... Huat ah
Nick: Boy, I thought such devices were long gone! I haven't seen that small thick piece of card for years.
ReplyDeleteI wonder does it means by "interesting marriage partner"...
Hehehe...liked the fortune. ;o)
ReplyDeleteThose guys who invented that machine must be getting richer and richer, 20 cents a person?
ReplyDeleteEverybody wants to see their weigh and their fortune at the same time. :o)
But what the hell is "interesting marriage partner"?
I don't know about those machinese, but I recently went to the docs for a med checkup..office punya and jeng, jeng jeng... me needs to drop 3 kgs! huhuhu
ReplyDelete*chuckles. HHAHAHAHAHAH omg nick..this is such a funny post.
ReplyDeleteI can't help myself but to laff. Note: laffing at work is not easy. it strains some muscle XD imagine no sound. *rofl. Yes, I manage to do that. Except if I can't really control I burst it out loud.
Hey I want to weight with that machine LOL.
Anyways the serial no. on that card. Why don't you get a lottery kekekeke.. XD
Aye, that's very light!! You had always made us think you're too fat. Come on!
ReplyDeleteMei Teng - It seemed like a fun thing to do then ... hehehe ... besides it was just 20 cents and it was wifey's 20 cents to begin with ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, I don't believe in fortune tellers too.
Foong - You know, you could make a huge sum of money if you invented a weighing machine that told people the weight that they wanted to hear ...LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnny - Yes, I actually was insane enough to go try it out ... LOL! Cheap fun la :D
ReplyDeleteWhat? Spiff has been turned into an egg yolk? Serves the bum right. It's time he was taught a lesson for his evil ways ... hehehe ...
Terra Shield - You should. Where else can you get 20 cent laughs? LOL!
ReplyDeleteHomely Guy - They have loads of this in the malls here, well, the malls I go to anyway.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it's a great number for 4D but unfortunately I don't know how to buy 4D! LOL!
Perry - We still have them over here and this is actually the first time I tried it out :D
ReplyDeleteThat one you have to ask my wife ... LOL!
Tammy - LOL! So did I :D
ReplyDeleteCidao - Well, it used to be popular but not anymore. Just insane people like me use it for fun these days ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, like I told Perry, that one you have to ask my wife :D
Rozella - I could do with losing some weight too, so you're not alone there ... hahaha ...
ReplyDeleteMaslight - LOL! Both wifey and me had a good chuckle too. And I normally don't bother and burst out laughing in the office if I find something funny. It's no wonder they all stay away from me in the office ... hahaha ...
ReplyDeleteBT - But 66kgs is fat for me ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry nick..i gained almost 2 kg now within 3 weeks only..hahahaa!! Exam finished, and i was celebrating like mad..now..!! need to cross the 'rice' off from my menu already.. :)
ReplyDeleteKadusmama - Yeah, let's all cross off rice from our menus ... maybe we can all become skinny ... hehehe ...
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I used to love that fortune telling crap card thingy...just for the fun of it...LOL!
ReplyDeleteBut who wouldn't love that machine..it weights your weight and then bagi fortune telling somemore...and its only 20 cents!! If you go to the "real" fortune teller..just to tell you that you are one tough partner to live with..already it cost you rm50!
Tsk tsk stk...
Emelda - Yeah, those 'real' fortune tellers cost a bomb la and half the time they're just a bunch of fakes. I'd rather stick with this 20 cent 'fortune teller' ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteu know, having 1 man, 1 boy, countless ex-boyfriends and now a husband, I can safely say that all males are grouchy most of the time. LOL. It's unfortunate but I seriously think it's true. we women have PMS once a month but men has PMS 24/7. I'm sure the ladies would agree with me :D
ReplyDeleteMe and my gfs used to get our cheap thrills from these type of machines. There's one called the mouth of merlin (or at least that's what we call it. lol), where u insert your hand into the mouth & it'll give u a cert of your fortune reading. A cert okay! lol! I think we paid RM1 to play.
ReplyDeleteIf I find a machine like that in my place, I'd try it, too. Hahaa! You wouldn't know which is hard to live, your weight or your being a hard person to live. :-)
ReplyDeleteFortune telling is real dude. Don't believe it? I'd say try singing "Devil Woman" to your wifey, and you'll sleep on the couch tonight. Dare you to challenge my this fortune telling skill :)
ReplyDeleteLOL
On a serious note, a person who says he/she is hard to live with is the easiest person to live with.
That was THE PERFECT fortune for you! HA!!!
ReplyDeleteSamantha - Hahaha ... where got la we men PMS 24/7 ... we do need to sleep too you know ... LOL!
ReplyDeletePerky - Gee, a cert? Does this machine still exist, I wanna go try it out. RM1 not so bad what ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteMarlene - Hahaha ... I think me being a hard person to live with at times wins out ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe Real Mother Hen - Hahaha ... darn, you Gypsy woman you. I'll bet your predictions would come true if I sang that song to wifey! LOL!
ReplyDeleteNo, really, I can be a pain to live with at times :D
Meleah - My wife seems to think so too ... hahaha ...
ReplyDeleteit sure sounded so much fun for spending only 20 cents. n i had a great time reading n laughing at it too. n reading is free! :p you n your wifey is such a lovely pair. from the short conversation you revealed, i can actually feel the tenderness the both of you shared. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL to the bm translasi on the card! Me too la wan to stop eating rice Nick, how abt we start tomo la la la.... ;)
ReplyDeleteLevian - Thank you :D We're both quite a pair when we wanna be ... hehehe ...
ReplyDeleteMarzie - Actually I never noticed the BM translation until you mentioned it ... it is kinda hilarious ... LOL!
