give clock

= song zhong (which losely translates into giving funeral or sum thing like that)

so it's actually taboo to give clocks to ppl, esp chinese ppl.

but some cock-ster(god knows who) packed a clock as a lucky draw prize, and it just so happen that i won that prize.

the thing is the event was organised by the tampines changkat cc, it's a community club event, surely someone inside must have the brains to tell the one packing the prizes, that giving clocks is taboo. luckily i'm not that superstitous else i might even argue with the organisers. my mom did. she promptly called the cc up to tell them not to do give away such stuff again.
