[kalimantan 6]

i hope the above phase is not about idiotic people which the heaven protects them indirectly without going them going thru hunger and work.

i raised this topic because someone happen to say "i gong gong jia ti kong" - i lucky in someway.

so the phrase means fortune or what ?

errrh... sorry to say this hor, yes that's what this hokkien phrase means.

I don't think it is anything bad. My hubby was labelled as the "gong-gong" in this hokkien phrase also - and if you look at it from the positive point of view, it is good.

People who has extremely complicated minds tend to see things in a more complicated manner, and created more problems for themselves. So they would normally, not see themselves as being favoured by "Ti-Gong" (Jade Emperor up in Heaven) becox they might end up unlucky or see themselves as such after creating problems (for themselves & maybe, for others too).

And from my own personal observation, the "gong-gong" people are generally (& usually) free from worries & depression becox of their simplicity. And becox of this simplicity nature of theirs, they usually have many "Gui-ren" (patrons who will lend them a hand when in need or required to succeed in whatever that they do).

The verdict is: Think complicated, complicate things. My lecturer used to tell us that many "clever" people analyse & analyse until they become "paralysed" (up there in their minds).

So say a Big Thank You to that person who called u a "gong-gong"

It's better to be "gong-gong" than to be called a smart aleck! (aka alec)

A little girl ran frantically to her mother.

She told her mother that Ah Gong [阿公] had injured himself.

"How did it happen?" the mother asked.

The little girl replied with 11 "gong".

"Gong gong gong, gong gong gong gong, gong gong gong gong."

Can you make out what she's saying?

Clue 1: Grandpa was hit by a flying can.

Clue 2: Try reading it in hokkien.

BTW, this has nothing to do with the topic of the thread.

Try deciphering it for the fun of it.

Let me give it a try.

1st version : "Gong gong gong (Blur 阿公), gong gong gong gong (Blur 阿公 hit by the can), gong gong gong gong (Blur 阿公 had a great fall)."

2nd version : "Gong gong gong (阿公 hit by the can), gong gong gong gong (阿公 blur blur), gong gong gong gong (Blur 阿公 had a great fall)."

You throw out only the head but no body, nowonder BK888's gong gong gong gong (grandpa hits can) until gong gong gong gong (granpa giddy). Now everybody becomes gong gong:

Head: I gong gong jia ti kong,

Body: ti kong tei gong lan

Ti Kong = Provider of bread

Gong gong = idiotic

Gong lan = idiotic ppl

Provider of bread gives bread to idiotic ppl like me, Provider loves idiotic ppls. Still gong gong?
