An Auspicious Day?

Farquhar barged into my office, exclaiming,'Your highness, Today is a lucky day!'

I lifted my head, look at him, annoyed, thinking,'what the hell is wrong with him? what lucky day is today!?'

After catching his breath, he explained the chinese believe eight is an auspicous number. Hence today, 8th August, is a lucky day.

I'm like, what the hell. If eight is a lucky number, what about the rest of the numbers?

Then, he continued explaining, because the pronouciation of eight shares the same sound as fortune in cantonese.

But, it's lucky by the cantonese. what about the rest of the dialects?

I seriously doubt today is a lucky day, cause nothing good happened to me. What if something good happened, does it mean every day of this year i will be lucky? I'm really skeptical about such a belief.

And then, farquhar continued, if you write down your wish today, your wish will be granted. He said,'One of them actually strike rich today because last year, he wish to be rich'.

So, does it mean the wish has a time difference of a year? This is only one example, how do you expect me to buy it. I'm beginning to wonder how did farquhar manage to be in this position, a governor-general! Goodness.

My wish is to have all my wishes fufill. Let's see if it will be fufill, if 8 is indeed a lucky number, an auspicious day.

There is saying,'Better believe than not'. Ha.
