Had this conversation with a fren n mentioned an old habit of crossing one's fingers when u really want something to happen. So she made jokes abt crossing toes as well, but crossing toes will cramp right. Lol.
Anyway, brought me to thinking abt wat other myths/superstitions/old wives' tales I hv heard as a child n remembered...
1) Cross ur fingers = hoping for something to happen
2) Touch wood = away with bad luck
3) Left eye twitch = something bad is going to happen
4) Right eye twitch = something good is going to happen
5) No swimming during Chinese Ghost month = or else will drown
6) Go home before sunset during Chinese Ghost month = or else will meet ghosts
7) Peel an apple infront of a mirror at 12am = will see how ur future husband will look like
8) Stand up n walk a round to change luck during a gambling match.
I am sure there is some more but I can't quite remember.
Interesting huh?
