myth, belief and urban legend...

just a one sided view about what happened last week...

being an ethnic chinese in indonesia, it's pretty interesting to see how my family still believes in ALOT of superstition. the moment i thought i was being brought up the western way, my family (especially my mum's side) can really make me speechless...

have you heard about this myth or belief or urban legend (whatever you want to call it...hrmph) that if a person dies on a tuesday or saturday then the deceased will bring a "friend" along? it was said that someone from that close family of the deceased will also die not too long after that..what a bunch full of bull and crap, right?

anyways, sadly one of my favourite uncles passed away about 2 or 3 months ago and it was on a saturday (and it doesn't take a psychic to guess what i'm going to write next) THEN his youngest brother died also last week due to severe gastric condition! there were alot of whispers and everything during the wake a couple of nights ago mentioning the "tuesday-saturday are bad days".

it's so odd to come to realization that in such a high tech world full of PDAs, laptops and fancy cars we still believe in these kind of urban legends. ironic too i guess since people in that wake were using state-of-the-art handphones but yet they are talking about these things on their cells...hmm...

coincidence, sheer bad luck or is the myth for real? *shruggs* i suppose none of us can really know but one thing i have to be honest is i can't lie that i had goosebumps during that wake...*shudder* yes yes...what a bunch full of bull and crap...*nervous laugh*

ps. happy halloween...
