Quote from a monthly astrology website: "Your luck will be centered on "eighth house" finances, and come arrive as an approved bank loan or mortgage, venture capital check, inheritance, severance package, job perks, an insurance payout, commission, royalty, licensing fee, prize winning or as an unexpected windfall from another source. ......This combination of planets is quite potent--to take full advantage, you may want to buy a scratch-off lotto ticket or enter to win a charity raffle! Watch what happens when Venus and Uranus align perfectly on Thursday, March 3. ...........
Summary: Even in other areas, you seem to have the Midas touch. A small windfall could be yours on March 3 or 4. "


Yah I read it on 1 March, and it just happened that i passed by a Singapore Pools shop on the way to the bus stop on 2 March, suddenly recalled abt the astrology forecast and decided to buy a $2 quick pick for 3 March and $1 each for 2 numbers on weekend (just to try my luck).

Imagine my suprise when I found out on friday that i gotten 4 matching numbers on 3 March Toto. Since that includes the bonus number, I only won the smallest prize. But it was quite unexpect , and $20 already covered my investment" of $2 :

Wrote in my previous blog post that on Friday, found out that parents had owe $485 to Singtel for a residential line, and was so pissed off that they had not been paying though i did gave them the $. So now, can't access internet from home and they refused to pay.

Was vexed whether should I pay using my hard-earned savings, but now seems that there is a way .
Cos on sat evening, just happened that while I was having my dinner in the kitchen, listening to radio, DJ was announcing 4D results at that time. I was deep in thoughts (mainly over the debts) and suddenly, i heard that the 4 digits for the 3rd prize was 8890 . I was stunned. Hey didn't I bought $1 big on those numbers.




Found out that after tax, I'll be getting $490, which 's "just nice' to cover their stupid overdue payments of $485.

But i had my reservations. Should I help them, cos it's not my responsibility ( given them their monthly allowance and extra yet I dunno where did those $ gone). I'm afraid that they might taken me for granted and wlll ask me to pay for future "debts". I could just keep the money to myself, save half of it (can earn interest), while using the other half to upgrade my mobile phone.....

Was the horoscope forecast so accurate or it's just a coincidence? It's seems like Heaven planned all this so "nicely", gave me $490 which just enough to cover the bills.....

****************
received sms from sis during lunch, asking me if i am settling their overdue fines, cos my dad cannot claim Red Rewards points until he cleared all payment. Grrr, did she ever realised that she was one of the main cause of the high phone bill charges ( she was often online til late midnight). Darn, now chasing me to pay while I have not even collected the winnings. Darn, as if all my $ belongs to them.
