*The End*
Reason for writing this: Yesterday saw a flock of green birds flew by and I knew they will be good luck and when I check the 4D for my mum, she strike 2 starters. (May not be alot but first time I strike 2 in a row.) Maybe I colour-blur and they are not green birds but from now on the colour that I saw will be my family colour and known as green. Hah.
