No, my mole looks nothing like a cat shape. It's on my back on the shoulder blade, it's not big and it's perfectly round. It's never caused any problem also, so no chance the NHS would do it for free, can't pass it as a concern for skin cancer.
The reason why I want to have it removed is rather silly and extremely superstitious. Things have been hard the last few years both persoanlly and professioally.
There is a saying in Chinese that if you have a mole on your back, exactly where mine is, you are destined to have to work very very hard and with little or no reward at the end of it. (Like having a burden on your back, the bigger the mole, the bigger the burden is etc etc)
Stupid, right? I never believed in it, still not sure if I do, espeically having been brought up in the Westen culture...
But having unwanted moles removed has a very deep root to chainging people's fate in the Chiense culture (this is getting more stupid, right?) Anyway, I thought, why not be a little more Chinese once in my life? What have I got to lose?
