The word above is what we the Chinese would usually say when a taboo was spoken or something similar…

I was clearing up my Facebook inbox few days ago and I got this message coming in.

I straight away said “Chhhooiii”…

Few days ago, I had the similar encounter and I was the one speaking about it. It was about getting a will written.

The person who heard this from me had the similar reply of “Choooii” too.

What’s a will you ask? Let me quote Dictionary.com

A legally enforceable declaration of how a person wishes his or her property to be distributed after death. In a will a person can also recommend a guardian for his or her children. Also known as a “will and testament”.

Writing a will is not that much of a “chhooiii” after all. It really does save a lot of hassle.

Imagine when you die and your children can’t take over your fortune or property or whatever you own. If you got watch Cantonese drama all also got similar stories wan. Children all fighting for their parent’s fortune and what not, and come on… we all should be realistic.

You can say that he is your brother or sister but trust me, deep down in your heart you will definitely feel pissed if your brother gets a larger pie of fortune than you.

What more if your fortune is being rob away from your children from a random stranger when you pass away. It happens okay!

Just one will can save a lot of time and red tapes to access one’s belongings. It is a dead man’s wish that MUST be granted. No one can take that away, and if anyone tries to rob a dead man’s wish, that person should be cast away to the fires of hell!

So, taboo or not taboo, we must face the reality. I’ve known people who has already bought their own cemetry plot. Because, buying a cemetry plot is NOT CHEAP and that’s why they need to “invest” in one.

Else, cut all the stress and ask to be cremated.

eeeekkk… time to stop now… laters peeps..
