a quick recap and info: I was rereading my Skin Care Update post and I saw that I said that I'm going to post something on Make-Up "next". I have not forgotten about it, I just, keep putting it on hold, cost the picture preparation for that is overwhelming to me. LOL but I assure you, that post is coming.
For now, I wanted to share this superstitious I just learned about Rainbow.
My fellow blogger friend posted a double rainbow pictures and I was reminded of that superstitious incident.
I was walking out of my office, halfway meeting a friend, when I saw the rainbow and excitedly pointed at it, gasping, "Rainbow!"
picture dated: 17th June 2019.
and she said to me, in urgency, "Baik ko isap tu jari mu ah!" Direct translation: You must suck on that finger. (Get your head out of the gutter LOL!)
I looked at her scandalously, "Why?"
but the thing is, I forgot what she answered me with.
😂😂😂
No, no. I'm not dismissing her beliefs. We both Malays and I have never heard of that before. Or maybe I have but have forgotten about it.
So, naturally, I'm curious.
why must I suck on my finger after I pointed at the rainbow? and the way my friend was instructing me to, it was like, I shouldn't have pointed at it in the first place and sucking on the finger is like a counter-measure thing to offset my doings. or something.
so now, I have another question: why can't I point at a rainbow?
🤔🤔🤔
I have my own theory(ies) tho:
1. we shouldn't have pointed at anything in general. You know, coz it's considered rude.
2. what if we TERpoint arah 'invisible being' and they got offended and we got cursed? I know, this theory is soooooo melayuuuuu~~
3. these words formed in my head after I asked why: "Karang putus jari mu" direct translation: Later, lose your finger. 🤔
4. Leprechaun. Cauldron full of Gold. 🍀🍀💚🧡
hahaha that fourth one is a joke! I don't have any other theories.
I shall asked this friend tomorrow if I see her.
for the time being, what do you think is the reason? Do any of my theory make sense?
share your thoughts in the comment box below.

Wahahahaha those theories are very Indonesian too!! :O Pointing index finger at people is a huge no no! I don't know why, I think I will never know and I unconsciously feel really uncomfortable when I point at someone or when someone point at me. :| But if it is related to something that will make us lucky, perhaps I will do it! Hahahaha. Just like putting fallen eyelash to our hair superstitious, or cutting nails at night superstitious. XD
ReplyDeleteomg yes! about the eyelashes and cutting nails at night. I guess we are connected culturally, somehow xD
