Coming March...

" What didn't kill you will just make you stronger "

Coming March? Just so you know, March will be a very exciting month, with lots of happenings. SPM results is expected to come out in mid March but date isn't confirm yet. Not putting too high expectation, but hoping for the best, and prepare for the worst at the same time too- anything can happen! It won't kill us, but make us stronger. Turning officially 17 coming March and i can't wait- i can then resume my driving. March holidays are up too... Note, i passed my driving theory test already, just waiting to be officially 17!

Leap year this year which means there will be 29 days for February, and today is the 29th. It's a unique day, special for some and some even selected this day to celebrate any wonderful occasion. It's once every 4 years! Those born today, Happy Birthday. Celebrate to the fullest, for you have to wait another 4 years more to the next one. NST came up with a nice article for those born on the 29th. I remembered one who will be celebrating her 15th birthday today, but it's actually her 60th one!

Another article i found very fascinating in the NST is the 'Are You Sure You're Alone?' article which was published in the Life&times section, written by Dr Albert Lim Kok Hooi. It's regarding supernatural superstitious. And most importantly, it's involving the 'safe' checking in into a hotel room! Precaution, read only to be fascinated, but if you're afraid, skip this. 'The less you know, the better. If you don't know about a superstition, it won't matter. Breaking a taboo not known to you won't hurt'. But once you read it, 'will it be the same again?'. The writer is a practising oncologist. I'll continue.

1. Always pre-book a room that is not tucked away at the end of a corridor. Apparently spooks prefer dark, lonely corners. If there's no vacancy, don't insist. The front desk person will put you in a haunted room which the hotel reserves for 'special occupant'.

2. On approaching the room, you could knock or ring the bell. At the same time, mutter under your breath "ghost, i shall be staying here for 3 days. Please let's get along, OK?.

3. Three things to do as soon as you enter : Flush the loo. Draw the curtains to let in sunlight. Look under the bed.

4. One shoe be upright and the other faces downwards, sole facing upwards.

5. Place your luggage on the unoccupied bed. This will ensure Casper will not occupy it.

6. Before you knock off to sleep, please cover all mirrors and reflecting surfaces. When you sleep, your spirit/soul leaves the body. If it encounters an imge of you, it may get confused and enter it. You wake up and 'you' may not be you!

Fascinated yet? I bet you are far from 'fascinated'. Bewildered i think! Anyway, it's up to you to believe it or not. But it's always better to know it, and avoid doing it right?

That shall end this post, Coming March. February was great. Fantastic. But March will bring much more than that! The results of the Favourite Silverscreen will be out soon, so catch it. And don't forget to visit my post often, for there will be new updates to it! Marching, wc08, Coming March, 29th Feb!
