Wish-fool

You want fries with that?

It was exactly 9.32 am at the office when Gia instant messaged me. The message read: "If you were granted three wishes, what would it be?"

Immediately, I brushed away my "work-in-progress" report, looked at the computer screen and blanked out. Wow, I don't know...

Maybe it was because of Wishmaster that I have been programmed to think that wishes are tricks. And that if you wish for something, there will always be some negative side-effects to it. For example, if you wished for RM20 million cash, the situation would be that 1) you find yourself robbing the national bank or 2) that RM20 million belonged to some VCD gangster, so there goes your head.

As I respond "Er, I don't know", I can't help but to think that perhaps that I have grown to be suspicious of easy roads. Because, I swear, if I was still six, I would have wished for that Lego castle set in a second!
