Of moths and myths

Was in the elevator this morning, doing the usual, i.e., checking myself in the mirror when I got a bloody scare. Saw a big moth on the ceiling of the elevator. Though it was kind enough not to fly around and stay put, it sure scare the hell out of the girl with me cos she keeps looking up at the moth and seems like praying silently for it not to move… Been seeing a lot big moths the size of full grown butterfly… its ok when you see one or two, but seeing more than 10 is quite a phenomenon. And all the same dark greyish color… kinda of scary though cos according to old Chinese myth, moths are the reincarnation or the souls of someone who meant a lot to you, back to keep an eye on you… sounds illogical yah?? eh, I don't have so many grandpas and grandmas leh…
