A few days back, I got a call from my mom. She told me she had forwarded this particular mail with attachment to me and ask me to go and take a look. Thinking that it was something she wanted me to help edit, I went to check all my mails and found that she sent me this mail titled THE DALAI LAMA. Thinking that it was probably some prophecy she got from some techno-savvy fengshui master, I downloaded it.
It turned out to be a stupid quiz called the "TIBETAN PERSONALITY TEST". My mom, of all people sent me that, and she added a ridiculous comment at the bottom that said "very very true". I thought I have quite passed the age of reading chain letters and taking quizes that make you make wishes, and think of a number in the process. And if you stupidly choose a big number, then you'd have to send it to the stated amount of person, or else you'll
1)die a horrible death
2)die as virgin
3)be miserable for the rest of your life
and such.
Nevertheless, I gave it a try. (Why??? I dunno) Maybe because the Dalai Lama suggested it. Haha. I thought he was supposed to go around helping people? Or maybe the chain email was sent as a 'blessing', but i didnt know this kind of thing follows my wireless signals all around.
anyway, the quiz. It started by asking me to make a wish. I wrote down
"I wish that my highlighter won't keep running out of ink." In case I get too lazy to forward the mail and my wish will turn for the worse. And in case the curse/blessing/whatever actually works. It would be a neutral wish.
Question #1
Put the following 5 animals in the order of your preference:
Cow, Tiger, Sheep, Horse, Pig
My order: Sheep, Horse, Tiger, cow, Pig
It was a test on my priorities in life which turned out to be "love", "family", "pride", "career" and "money" respectively. Hmmm does that mean I would dessert my family for love? or the quest of love? I don't think I'd do that. As for career and money, I think I like money better. If there was a way to have money without having a career, I wouldn't mind at all.
Question #2
Write one word that describes each one of the following:
Dog, Cat, Rat, Coffee, Sea.
My answer: cute, exotic, smelly, exciting, happy and suntanning
It turns out Dog describes me
Cat describes my partner
Rat describes my enemy. (If someone was my enemy, i certainly wouldn't want to be close enought to him/her to ascertain that he/she is smelly)
Coffee describes sex
Sea describes my life....(????)
Question #3
Think of someone, who also knows you and is important to you, which you can relate them to the following colors.
Do not repeat your answer twice.
Name just one person for each color:
Yellow, Orange, Red, White, Green.
Given Analysis:
Yellow(my brother) : Someone you will never forget
Orange(xiaobai) : Someone you consider your true friend
Red(laura) : Someone that you really love
White(ZY) : Your twin soul
Green(me) : Someone that you will remember for the rest of your life
This had to be the most ridiculous analysis. It suggests
1) Brothers are meant to be forgotten, but I wont!
2) My true friend is a toy dog
3) I'm a lesbian
4) people actually usually forget themselves, but I won't!
The last one, I had to choose the number, so I conveniently choose the smallest even number.
At least the Dalai Lama that sent this email wasn't so evil. He didn't curse people, but he did mentioned that if the recipient sent to # that is stated in Qn 4, the sender will receive a pleasant surprise. which apparantly my mom was hoping for. Sigh...
Oh and before I end, the chain letter assumed a nice name too. it's called the email mantra. WOnderful.
ps: This entry has no intentions of disrespects to the Dalai Lama. Just to the email. If the Dalai Lama really created the chain email, then (sigh) okie my highlighter will dry up very fast all the time.
