Went to my mentor's place yesteday for her open house...
and it was so fun!!
kinda nice to hang out and just talk crap..
and playing with 2 cute babies...
one of them developed an unexplained interest in my doggie pendant and the buttons on my top

oh, and one of the physios manipulated my neck+thoracic spine...
cos i was complaining about a sore neck..
so there i was, lying on the floor in my mentor's spare bedroom with a cushion...
and he moved my neck this way and that way..
then i felt a sharp jerk..
followed by *crack*
another jerk *crack*
one more jerk *crack crack*
then, sat up...he palpated my thoracic spine..decided it way stiff..
so,i crossed my arms, he put on hand behind me and i slowly lie down...
a firm pressure from him as i rolled my way down onto the cushion
*crack crack crack crack*
*OOF*
and with those *crack*s, my neck and thoracic spine feels so nice and soft now..HAHA!
thank you CC!

after the open house, off to meet my parents to go to river hongbao 2006

this year my parents are damn ON about all the CNY events...
chinatown on CNY eve to see firecrackers and fireworks
Sentosa last sat to see the pretty pretty flowers in full bloom
and then,
river hong bao yesterday...
to see 12 Chinse Zodiac signs made like lanterns and more fireworks

(supposed to have another few more pics here...but somehow they are way too big and making my blog all screwed-up. so have to take them down...sorrie!)

my camera remains non-usable...
so have to use my brother's digital SLR.
can't wait for my camera to be fixed..
my camera referring to my tiny-handbag-sized-easy-to-use Canon Powershot A410...
though..from the looks of it...
i am gonna trade in for a Powershot A610 instead...
cos it's not worth repairing the A410
whatever it is...
i am at the brink of giving up trying to use a Digital SLR
*bleah*

went to temple just now to pray...
cos me being born in the year of the dog...
clashes with a particular god known as Tai Sui(犯太岁)
which means alot of bad luck and a rough year ahead...
apparently go temple and pray may help to alleviate the bad luck...
and have a more smooth sailing year...
*cross fingers*
in the process of praying, i had quite a fair share of bad luck...
like little kids waving their joss sticks right in front of my eyes...
which immediately caused me to tear up and sniffle...
and then, one of my joss sticks slipped while i was lighting it..
and in an idiotic moment of reflex, i used my bare left hand to try and grab it...
in the end, my left middle finger pad came into direct contact with the glowing ember at the tip of the joss stick
*ouchie!*
now got a small blister..sigh...
and then, as i was sticking my joss sticks into the incense holder...
someone else's joss stick ash fell onto my right forearm..
and so, i have another blister on my right forearm...
feel kinda traumatized by the temple experience...
though i am not overly superstitious...
some stuff....i guess i prefer to believe it...
just in case...

and this morning, went cycling with my parents to breakfast, to temple and to BB nature park
oh, and to lunch...
now...i feel kinda physically drained...
and mentally alert...
which is why i am blogging even though my legs and back are groaning...

mm..an eventful sunday for me...
can't believe tomorrow is MONDAY again!!
another week of work...
and have to work full day on saturday somemore..
suddenly, i wish the blisters will get infected and i can get MC...
*touching table top made of wood*
on second though, maybe not...
dun wanna end up with sepsis...
*shudders*

alrighty...now off for a refreshing shower and slack on sofa with a trashy novel!
