There are many of them around, with the famous ones in Ang Mo Kio, Hougang and Golden Mile Tower. At a recommendation of a colleague, i went to see one of them based at Golden Mile Tower. He’s a geomancer but apparently, a famous and accurate fortune teller who reads fortunes by using a turtle shell.

I’m skeptic but at the same time, in need of direction and answers for certain matters.

The methodology was simple. After writing down your birth dates and chinese characters, he puts three golden coins into an empty turtle shell, shakes it and thereafter hands it over to you for your turn to shake it. I was told to think about the matter i wanted to seek direction on, shake the turtle shell and throw out the coins into a bowl. This whole process repeats itself 6 times.

My fortune for the year was told after some immense calculations that didn’t made any sense to me. It was going to a difficult year for me; my health would suffer; there will be changes either in my job scope or office location in the later half of the year and as to the answer that i was really seeking for, fate was against us but we would never be able to break away.

And in all ambiguity, his final words to me were,

“Some things in life, after obtaining it, may not be what you want and some things in life although lost, may not necessarily be regrettable either.”
