Is Jin my destiny?
So I finally got around to seeing that fortune teller today. She was overseas for a few weeks, and even when she came back, it was hard to make an appointment as at times I didn't feel like it and when I did, she wasn't available.
Anyway, at lunch I got changed into my casual (read: scrubby) gear so that she wouldn't get any additional clues about myself. I went to the office building she was in and went up to her floor, finding a lot of small, separate office suites.
Coincidentally she was outside her suite when I arrived, and she pretty much guessed I was there for her as she stopped and looked at me. I introduced myself and she asked me to wait outside as she was seeing someone at the moment. I was happy with that, as I was early anyway and wanted to play Anipang 2 on my phone.
A short wait later, she came out and invited me into her suite. She asked if I could speak Mandarin, and when I said no, she said that was a shame because otherwise she would introduce me to her master who was the person she was seeing.
She asked me to write down my name, so I did in Chinese, but she couldn't understand it (it's a rare name) and so I did it in English. She also asked me to write down what I wanted to ask. To be honest, I didn't really have much, I just wanted to see what someone could say about me by looking at my face and reading my palm. I wrote down something about career and relationships anyway, adding that I was starting a business next year.
She also asked me to write down the time to note when we started.
Her first observation was that I had something to do with tv, like I had been recently interviewed for something or I will be interviewed for something. My mind quickly flashed to a scene where I was in trouble with my work for going to the casino and it was causing some controversy, leading to the media interviewing me about it. God I hope not.
When I said no, she seemed a bit disappointed. She then said that I had made plans this March to start something. She was right, or at least close enough. I told her I had my bar exams in February and if I had passed them, then I would've started the bar course in March. Hmmm.
The rest of her career advice was pretty broad and could probably apply to anyone, like saying that I'd struggle in my first year and needed to put in the hard work, but after three years it would be better as I would build up my reputation. She also stated that I needed a partner for support. Would this be DC? She did, however, say that I was the hard working type, but something 'external' to me was preventing me from being hard working.
Onto relationships, she said it seemed like I had started something but didn't finish it. I told her briefly about how I had planned to give Jin $40,000 but only ended up giving her $25,000. She said I will marry a girl either three years younger or older than me, about my height and with big eyes. She asked if my ex-girlfriend (Jin) was about my height and had big eyes. I suppose she could fit that description. She said something about me getting married this year. I couldn't stop thinking about how that might actually happen given Jin's visa may expire next year.
That was pretty much it. I'm sure she was more accurate than it seemed, but her broken English made things hard at times.
Apart from all that, in recent days I have been thinking about Jin a bit. Today, I started to feel a bit of a 'pull' from her. It was almost as if I was sensing her. I hadn't checked my old phone, hidden away in my garage, for a while now, but something told me that if I checked it, I would see messages from Jin.
So after basketball tonight, I went to get the phone, and lo and behold, Jin had messaged me. She sent me messages on Kakaotalk on 4 September and SMS'd me on 12 September. Both were to ask for help.
Freaky, huh?
