There's pain and hopefully some gain

Finally my parents realize that I'm not being a princess and I'm not kidding when I say my neck hurts when I look up. By the time they came to that realization, our usual clinic has closed for the day so we opt for the second option...acupuncture!

It wasn't as bad as imagined but it was really painful when the acupuncturist pokes and removes the needle. Especially the two needles near my thumb. I still can feel the numbness right now (5 hours after the acupuncture)

The acupuncture was okay but the massage was so bloody painful that I so badly wants to beat up the acupuncturist/ masseur. I have no idea where she stores all that strength and when she uses her elbow, I thought that I will walk out with a broken rib.

I am the type who would use the massage chair until bruises appear my back (No I'm not sadistic and I don't seek pleasure in pain) but this was a bit too much for me.

And the masseur said that my pain tolerance is quite high. It's not my first time receiving such comment but honestly I don't think that is true. I'm in so much pain that I can't even say it out la. Actually, I screamed in a frequency so high that only mosquitoes can pick up!

Of cars and roses

On Xmas eve, I woke up early to follow my mum to the morning market. There was this tea leaves stall and being that teaholic, I went and check out that stall.

R: Rene
T: tea seller

R: so what's the difference between this two rose buds?

T: one is BMW and one is Proton Saga.

His answer was really clear. I wish that I have that ability in explaining things!

Just some ramblings on Xmas

Urgh my bear must have karate chop to my neck when I was asleep or something! For about a week already, my neck hurts whenever I look up and had to spend most of my time lying down.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to all celebrating the festival and happy holidays to others!

The last time I last celebrated Xmas was.... I can't remember when. When was the last time I step into church? Cant remember that too.

Basically Xmas eve was spent tidying my wardrobe (oh the horror, it's not even done yet!) and Xmas day was spent just like any other Sundays.

Looking forward to New Year!

A toast

So my graduation scroll and transcript finally arrived at my door step. Took the courier peeps a while because they couldn't find my house!

I wasn't expecting any emotions but as I unroll my scroll, I couldn't help but smile. I actually felt happy! Hahaha didn't see that coming.

Monash, you will still have to bear with me for another 1.5 years. I will only attend my graduation when I get my masters degree.

Till then, please look after me!!

Doomsday

One friend tweeted "Haiyo world ending tmr is GMT berapa punya time" (On which GMT will the world end).

Coincidentally, I had that in mind too. Will the Apocalypse wait till every part of the world flip their calendars to the 21st or it's going to strike any region that clock strikes 00.00am first.

If it's the former, Asia sort of earn more hours of living compared to Hawaii. If it's the latter, Asia will suffer first and on the other hand, Hawaii gets to prepare for it.

I don't think the world will end tomorrow. But whatever happens, have a great day ahead!

The Return of the Repressed

So while I was checking my snail mail mailbox, a lizard crawled into my t-shirt! For 10 seconds or so, I bet I was the best dancer in the world and if I did the rain dance, I will summon a storm. It felt so geli and I still feel ticklish when I think about it now.

This morning, guess what was my dream?

Gummi crocs or more like gummi lizards come to live and they were crawling all over my room and a couple of it on me!

Lizards, you always give me a heart attack. Appearing out of no where, landing on my foot, excrete all around the house compound, crawl into my shirt... but still thanks for keeping my room mosquito free.

Why do people smoke?

Was digging my old blog to see if there's anything worth reblogging and I came across this conversation I had with Clair about 3 years ago.

"Why do people smoke?" she asked

"Um, it makes them feel happy, relaxed?"

She wasn't convinced with my answer so I gave her an example.

"Think of a food that you'll feel happy and satisfied after eating it."

That seems to work and she starts calling her favorite food as cigarettes.
