Ada juga persamaan sikit² ngan pantang larang orang tua² kita seperti jangan
potong kuku memalam, jangan bebaring lepas makan & meniup serunai/seruling
memalam sebab takut ular masuk rumah. Tidur pulak kita disuruh ngadap Qiblat
(barat) bukan utara. Kucing itam tu rase nyer ada jugak.... seram nak citer

In Japan there are certain things one does not do because they are thought to
cause bad luck. A few examples are:
The number four:
The number four is considered inauspicious because it is pronounced the same as
the word for death (shi). Therefore, one should not make presents that consist
of four pieces, etc. In some hotels and hospitals the room number four is
skipped.
Stick chopsticks into the rice:
Do not stick your chopsicks into your food generally, but especially not into
rice, because only at funerals, chopsticks are stuck into the rice which is put
onto the altar.
Give food from chopstick to chopstick:
This is only done with the bones of the cremated body at funerals.
Sleeping towards the North:
Do not sleep towards the North beacause bodies are laid down like that.
Funeral Car:
If a funeral car passes you should hide your thumb.
Cut nails at night:
If you cut your nails at night, you will not be with your parents when they
die.
Lie down after eating:
If you lie down immedeately after eating, you will become a cow.
Whistle in the night:
If you whistle in the night, a snake will come to you.
Black cat:
There are also some imported superstitions such as the believe that black cats
crossing the street in front of you cause bad luck.
In many shrines, temples and souvenir shops, amulets are sold that are
supposed to bring luck, safety or good fortune. There are amulets for money,
health, love, success on exams, safety on the streets, etc. Small pieces of
paper (omikuji) that predict your future are also available. These pieces of
paper are tied around the branch of a tree after reading; either to make the
good fortune come true or to avoid the predicted bad fortune.
