Happy Birthday to Me!

Celebrated my birthday in advance 2 days ago. Today is my actual birthday. Mummy & Daddy took leave to accompany me:-). First, we went Mac Donald's for breakfast, then we proceeded to Fidgets. I thoroughly enjoyed myself today. Oh ya, before we headed out, 奶奶 said to let me go through the traditional "抓周".

According to tradition, the folks have to place some symbolic items for me to choose in order to forecast my future. Daddy & mummy couldn't find a stethoscope, so i guess that lowers my chances of becoming a doctor. IT industry is tough, so daddy took away the notebook too. So in the end, i ended up with the following options:

Book - Lawyer , Politician (Opposition Party), Doctor ??
Calculator - Accountant, Auditors ...
Money - Finance, Stock Market Analyst, Banker ...
Pen and Paper - Author, Artist, Teacher ...
Ruler - Architects, Designer, Engineer ...

In the end, 2 out of 3 attempts, i picked a book. On the last attempt, i chose a calculator. Hmm ... Book and Calculator .. it seems to be a good combination? Hee...just for the fun of it.

Here's what mummy extracted from the internet:

书是代表作学问,
笔是代表写作,
计算器代表科学,
尺子代表建筑,
信用卡代表钱,
金印鉴表示权利,
小剑表示参军,
针管表示从医。
