Before more people misunderstood "KVETCH" as a person name, perhaps I should explain the meaning a little.
Kvetch actaully meant to complain and whine. This blog named "Kvetch Haven" so that I can complain a little, whine a little about life. Of course, this blog will not be solely on constant whinning and complain.
Do You Believe in Palmistry?

Ever had your fortune told?
How much are you into fortune-telling?
There are many different types of fortune-telling; Feng-shui, tarots cards, palmistry and crystal ball just to name a few.
Recently, I had my fortune told by a shi-fu (master) who knew palmistry. This shi-fu, who is rather old, is from Thailand and is here to help the needy people (he also hopes to gain some funding for his temple). Later, he also gave me a Buddha pendant that was said to be blessed. My initial intention was to listen to the talk that he hosted to find out what does the lines on my palm represent.
Here is a summary of what he has told me:- I am someone who should have a good life but am currently down on my luck (down on my luck seems pretty true; I am currently jobless and have been through a few lousy relationships recently)
- I am a smart and creative person (I have been told that I am smart and creative before by teachers and friends)
- I am someone who will be a leader as opposed to a follower (this is inline with my character, as I prefer to lead rather then follow)
- And last but not least, I'll bring luck and fortune to my future husband-to-be (wow, will that increase the number of people in the queue, I wonder? *haha*)
I believed what he said with a pinch of salt; shi-fus are people who are very experienced in reading someone's mind and body language (judging from his age this one should have been very acute in such abilities). Naturally, when he said something nice about me, I felt happy and my confidence was boosted.However, I reminded myself not to be taken in totally as there is a possibility that I might be hypnotized for a moment. If the shi-fu is unscrupulous, then he can gather a lot of necessary information during that short moment when I am vulerable. I've heard from people that fortune tellers are talented beings who can hypnotize and/or read you via your body language like an open book.
I felt that it is fine to listen, but not to be overly obsessed in what was said. What is important is to not lose faith in yourself; you are what you are, and no one can change you unless you feel in you heart that there is a need for such changes.
