Fortune-ately

Found this while cleaning my room.


This was a gift to me by the HKG office after joining them back in 2005.

So, yes, this item is 25-years old.

It's a modern-traditional fortune teller.

Modern, because it's made by Shanghai Tang.

Traditional, because it's fashioned after a traditional Chinese way of telling fortune. You shake the container, open it, and get a stick. The stick has a number, and you find that number in the fortune telling book.

Tried it just for kicks and got the number 4. And here's my fortune:


I'm really feeling fortunate to have found this. I'll be randomly telling my fortune from here on in.
