Mom dropped this on my desk …
Me: What’s this?
Mom: It’s a matrimonial charm. It worked for your cousins in Penang. They swear by it.
Me: So you are saying that my natural charm and good looks aren’t good enough?
Mom: Well no, but we all know that you can do with some help.
Me: Who’s “we”?
Mom: Never mind, just put it in your wallet ok?
If it works, you’ll read about it here first.

Tell your mom, for matrimonial you should use mandarin duck or double happiness charm instead. -

omg I think your mother getting desperate..:D
I thought its usually girls that gets presented with stuff like that,but I was wrong.At least she didn’t try to burn you a charm and make you drink charred pieces of paper…..No, I didn’t do that but I had seen it forced down the throat of my cousin:)

I always admire this stuff. It makes you so ummm “chinese” and it raise curiousity among friends
I’ve got a charm before, in a form of a necklace. One day, it suddenly break in two, out of nowhere. I was wondering why, until the next day when my parents told me that apparently, a competitor of my dad’s trying to do some evil thing to my dad, by hurting me. And apparently, the jade necklace “protected” me. Believe it or not
