Recently I had an encounter with a fortune telling Chinaman.
He asked me in Hokkien "Ai kua mia mai?" meaning "Want to have your fortune told?"
I replied "Mai" meaning "No.
He started telling me what a great fortune I have.
I then asked him where he was from. He replied China.
I told him in Mandarin (since my Hokkien really bad) that what he was doing was illegal. I already declined, so he should stop harrassing me. He moved away.
If it had been a Singaporean to-be fortune teller, I would have been more polite and accomodating, but would still have declined the services.
Am I a "nationalist"?
What would you have done?
 
fortunately had not encounter such things. if encountered, instead of him telling my fortune, i would tell his. :D:D

What would have been his fortune?
A fist in his face? :)
Or the night behind bars? :)

Dear Gossip,

Indeed, I would have told him his fortune too. I forsee an arrest impending, on charges of fraud and cheating.

I also see a jail term of 6 months in his future.

The good news is it depends on whether the Singapore Poodle Farce would do their job.

Cheers,

MM

I had a singh encounter too. Joker teased first. Asked me to think of a flower. By some crazy mind control method which he used, I chose hibiscus (a flower which doesn't even come to my mind normally) Then he shows me a piece of paper with the word "hibiscus" written on it.

No way I was buying his crap.. gave him $2 and asked him to fxxk off.
 
wat if all the nos. given didn't win? ask him pay u back?
Never said I pay him 1st. Heard about credit? Or pay when get paid?:p:rolleyes:

And no guarantee I don't do a runner on him, if in remote chance get lucky
 
I then asked him where he was from. He replied China.
I told him in Mandarin (since my Hokkien really bad) that what he was doing was illegal.

Are you sure?
I have met so many China-Chinese in SG, none of them speaks Hokkien (even they are from Hokkien). Even Taiwanese-chineses do not speak Hokkien with local chinese.

If you are so brave and civic-minded to remind others of illegal activities, I challenge you to say this in the face of loan-shark guys, as they are increasingly active in this down economy.
