icyprincess SG Share some of the superstitions you know over here! Not necessarily those that you believe in, but can be those that you have heard people talking about, etc. I will start off with one that I have heard before. If your left ear starts to itch, that means someone is missing you. If your right ear starts to itch, that means someone is scolding you Guess which one of mine is itching right now? i.c.y
Gackt247 SG If u point at the moon.. u'll get a cut on ur ear.. N i had cuts on my ear lobes several time in my childhood for no apparent reasons.. so duno whether should believe?
icyprincess SG lol...yea i heard of this oso but I pointed a few times leh, nothing happened oso...mebbe the goddess in the moon wasn't paying attention at dat time lol Share with you all another one. If you don't finish the rice in your bowl, next time your spouse will have a lot of pimples on his/her face. Lol, I guess this is for me to find out many years later i.c.y
MCY SG Does it mean that I'm eating my spouse's pimples? Anyway, here's another... Number of times you sneeze ... one.... someone is talking about you two.... someone is thinking of you three.... someone is cursing you four.... Doctor is calling for you "lai, lai, lai"....cause you are falling sick.
the Bear SG lots of superstitions... but i'm not superstitious some are based on beliefs.. sorta like 13.. there were 13 people at the Last Supper.. the 12 Apostles and Jesus.. stuff like that.. oh.. this one i do out of habit... throwing spilt salt across your left shoulder when you spill it.. because salt was a valuable thing in the past.. and was quite expensive... spilling it was bad.. sorta like "the devil made me do it"... and since the devil was supposedly sitting on your left side (the other being right or righteous side), you threw salt at the devil there.. since salt also purifies...

the Bear SG well, many years ago, i was in uni and we played with the salt shaker at the table a lot.. lots of spilt salt.. told people about that superstition and threw salt over shoulder to show it.. and dunno.. ever since then, been doing that
the Bear SG usually, we unscrew the top but it's not obvious.. use it with a finger to hold the top so it does not fly off.. the next user would not know and hold just the body of the shaker and start using it on his food.. the top falls off and the whole shaker contents empty onto his plate or bowl of soup we're EVIL
icyprincess SG lol...dats really gives me idea now...but too bad the salt shaker in my dorm doesnt have a top that can be unscrewed i.c.y
Joshua1975 SG at night out in the street, when 'someone' call your name, do not turn your head right away. ie to say dun just turn your head.
icyprincess SG It is just a superstitious belief lor... Like another one is, when you pass by a cemetary, hold your breath and dun breath in, dun breath out I actually tried doing that, then found out that the cemetary I was passing thru seems to stretch out for miles! Halfway thru, I just continue to breath normally again i.c.y
