On CNY, i went to visit my relative. She gave us some fortune cookies and i picked one. Inside the cookie was a slip that read "Among the lucky, you are the chosen one" and a 4D number 1160. The night before, the reunion table number was 0611. So i went to buy 4D. The horoscope of the month also say i will be lucky especially in lottery. It was sunday, and much to my excitment and hope, it did not strike.

And then i was thinking to myself maybe wednesday also have chance, but i did not buy. Until mom called me and screamed over the phone and said 1160 was one of the consolation prize on wed (today). I was like "okay.. dun have to tell me lor, i din buy".

Then i was thinking.. could have won me $1000+ and how come I din feel a thing? If I said that guy that walked past you is a millionaire and could have been your husband, would you feel the same? My cousin told me his friend won 2 million in Toto a couple of years back. Quick pick. He quit his job, bought a sports car and went London and study. Another rich guy won a hundred thousand but donated all to NKF.

What is money anyway? Something that can buy happiness? Or just a hint of emptiness that can go just as quickily as it appear? To me, if you never own it, you never lose it. And so… if you happen to break up with anyone, remember, you didn’t loose anything… cos you did not own anyone in this life. You merely enjoy the ride with them. Just like how a little investment with 1160 brings hope - but never eternal wealth.
