Rain Rain Go Away!!

The weather is crazy this last few days. Always rain in the afternoon. Even as I'm typing this entry. Alone at home in the cold kitchen (alone as in no human to company me at home).. lucky thing I have a fluffy brother to keep me warm =)

I hope the weather getting all sunny tomorrow coz we are heading to Mister Toto's old house for garage sale. They have quite a number of items on sale.. see here. So.. we need SURIA (aka Sun)!!

Oh, I know!! Maybe can suggest Toto to hang Teru Teru Bozu on his window.

"The teru-teru bozu is a doll used to pray for fine weather. First of all, a sheet of paper (tissue paper in your guest room) is rolled into a small round ball. Then it is wrapped up with another sheet of a cone and is attached to form body. Eyes are painted on the head. It is hung on the curtain rail or similar. Please chant “ teru-teru-bozu, bring fine weather tomorrow!” You can then go to bed with the hope that the following day will be fine. If the teru-teru bozu does not answer your prayer, it is left dangling in the rain. Throw it into the trash box as punishment. " - taken from here.

The doll must be hanged face downward (like praying). And if you wish came true, you must pour sake on the doll head to thank it. Mummy's office hanged many of them (looks creepy like hantu pocong - muslim ghost) few months back. It's true the weather getting better but oppss.. they didn't pour sake on the dolls so haha.. the wish no more granted. Happy trying!!!
