My friends asked how come i never want to receive clocks or a watch for my birthday.. since they wanted to get me a Audemars Piguet. But I had always been taught.. that in our chinese culture.. that giving a watch or a clock for someone’s birthday .. is not appropriate. You can give a watch or a clock for a graduation or a wedding or a promotion .. but never a birthday ..?? why you are probably asking.. ? ok. here’s the reason.. or so i heard. It’s because the crazy chinese said..that giving a clock or a watch means.. in chinese.. “song chong” .. which is not a good omen. So remeber .. never give a clock or a watch to a birthday chinese boy or gal.
