Phew.. this had us worried a bit. But see here, our annual fortune telling event went much better than last year. Today the Honourable Lau Wong-fat shook a bundle of numbered bamboo fortune sticks and apparently a very good one fell out: No. 53. Hurray! If a highly skilled fortune teller says the meaning of this stick is awesome, who are we to dispute this? Here’s a translation of the story associated with it:

“I have been looking at my house from the outside, but have never known what’s going on inside the home; in the dream that I had last night my family was real, as today people inform me they are OK.”

Yup, sounds pretty awesome to us. Don’t be so skeptical dear reader. Last year the bad number 27 fell out and look what we got: a (global, but nevertheless) financial crisis, countless fung shui douche bags and our entire youth on ketamine. In 2003 no. 83 predicted doom and we ended up with SARS.

Our post-80’s rebels had their own little ritual today and the outcome was approximately the same. Hence, we can safely say the year of the Tiger is gonna rock. Rooarr!
