Faith and Lashes

Faith and confidence are two very different things. One is what you believe blindly, but fervently. The other is what you believe because you know it is true.

When I was 15, my German friend taught me a little lash-related belief. If your lash falls out, pick it up, make a wish and blow it away. If another lash falls out, then your wish will come true.

When the-boyband-of-the-moment came to Sabah (I'm not going to mention the boyband's name. The thought of the old boyband days make me cringe!), a lash fell and I fervently, fervently wished that I'll meet them. Another lash fell out, and yes, I got to meet them.

Since then, I was a true convert and a lash faithful. With every lash that fell, I would make a wish. They've never realy worked since my boyband days, but I felt an obligation every time a lash falls.

Today I got news that a really good friend of mine got injured. I went to the washroom to wash my face, and spotted a fallen lash. I wished that he would be ok, blew it away. Another lash fell down.

Faith and confidence are two very different things, but holding on to a believe blindly is better than not believing at all.
