I went over to my friend's apartment just now. He moved in not long ago and I wanted to see his place. When I went into the lift I was surprised to see that the numbers go from 1, then 2, followed by 3, and then 3A before continuing to 5. I smiled when I saw it, and then remembered why. The number 4 sounds like 'Die' in Cantonese, and is therefore considered unlucky very much like how '13' is perceived in the Western world.
Ah, how superstitions keep a grip over us.

The condo where I am moving to is like that too - 1,2,3 and 3A.
Have to mar, if not, no one will want to buy or stay there.
Unless it's for bumiputra of course.
