When I went to pick up my shoe from the cobbler , he suddenly noticed my ring .
" Ini sembahyang kat gua ? "
he asked me rather as a matter of fact .
Loosely translated , he asked me if this stone was worshipped inside a cave before I purchased it . Yes really . He really asked me that . I'm not kidding but I really do not understand what he meant by that statement either .
Have read somewhere about some Malay traders who sell semi precious gemtones procured out of river beds . Some local shamans and witchdoctors known as bomohs , will even recite incantations over the stones first .
However , this is the first time in my life , I have heard of anyone chanting over a stone inside a cave .
By that , he must be insinuating that I probably have some supernatural inhabitant , residing inside it !
How scary !!!
