54. A Dialogue on Tarot Cards

Happened to saw a pack of Tarot cards lying on my desk. Found out that my lil sis borrowed it from her friend. So I decided to explore this tarot card thingy. The conversation went something like this...
 
"lil sis, where you get this pack of cards? is it your friend's?"
 
"huh? oh...yah...i borrowed it."
 
"so, do you know how to play it?"
 
"erm...little bit, there are so many ways to go about it and read your fortune..depends on which you want.."
 
"ok, show me the easiest one la.."
 
"ok...you see this booklet here...neh...there are so many ways to choose your cards...see which one you want la..erm...I show you this first one la..it's the easiest."
 
"Ok, so how you start?"
(sis started shuffling the cards and laying the cards faced down on the table)
 
"pick 3 cards la...but don't turn the cards over..give them to me"
(picked 3 cards)
 
"ok...see the picture in the book there?...so we place the cards like this..just like the picture...then you flip them over...oh, forgot to tell you that you have to first think of what you wish to know...ok, you think first..."
(ting ting!!...career move would be good question)
 
"ok...u ready? we flip the cards."
 
"some of the cards are upside down...is it the same one ar? does it matter?"
 
"oh...it's ok, we can't flip it ...it's the way the cards are played..because we have different interpretations for it."
 
"oh...ok...so how do we read the cards? according to the numbers in the book?"
 
"aa...yah...so you see this number here...so we flip to that page and look for the number in the page...aa...neh...so you see the card is upside down rite? you read the one that says for upside down one la..if the card is right side up, then you read the other one..like that loh..."
 
"oh...ok...sounds easy...oklah..I go play around with it myself...and see how it works..."
(end of conversation)
