i had a rather unsual day on my birthday.
woke up at 3.35am and couldnt sleep more.
not that i didnt want to but i just couldn't.
the newspaper man came at 4.30am. i wonder how much margin he gains from dispatching newspaper. how much money does he earn and if it is sufficient for a reasonably good life.
cathy gave me a set of nailcare stuff, and a bottle of dead sea moisturizer. buffed my nails and they looked really neat and clean. read the papers and showered. and i was ready to go out at 7 in the morning. well, where can i go? i wasnt working that day. answered some questions at the "yahoo answers" website, hoping to earn my points for my first question. i want to ask "is loosing 35 to 50 strands of hair a day too much?" i have recently began to count the number of hair i loss after shampooing. averagely 35 strands. and reasonably 15 more till the end of the day. i dont think new hair grows at this rate. so, will i be having lesser or thiner hair generally?
i used to have hair so thick, every one has to comment. every hair dresser. and i remember trainee hairdressers would sweat and call out for their shi-fu to help. that thick. but not anymore now. it is averagely thick and i am thankful for it. i dont think one should complain about having thick hair cos one will appreciate having it when he is 50. crowning glory.
ok, so anyway, after i had my coffee and surfed yahoo, i bathed and lugged my 700 pieces of gold coins to the bank. i have decided to bank in my birthday present. boy, was it heavy. it was like carrying a 4kg bag of stones. the bank did not accept coin deposite on friday. they only do on tuesday and thursday. just my luck. no. i refused to accept this. lugged on and went to another bank. same rejection. gosh, i am perspiring like a condensing cold glass of water. not that i was worried or anything but under the sheer heat from walking 1 kilometre. ok, one last try at the 3rd bank. same thing but this time i decided to press on a little. i said "can you make an exception?" she went in for a whole 5 minutes and returned with a suggestion. leave it with them and they will count the coins and credit my bank at the end of the working day. of course i said thank you. ok, next, i walked into the chinese massage palour for a traditional chinese accupressure massage. boy oh boy, it was painfully good. some of my veins had old injuries and were achingly painful. most of my muscles are stiff and hard to the touch. the massue wonder how a person could live with such discomfort and this is not the first time i have been commented about this. the best part was the massage on my stomach. boy of boy, the pain shot right to my gastrics. pain like on a scale of one to ten, eight, kind of pain. why is it not painful normally? why are there no symptoms? why is it only painful when the stomach is being pressed on? i never did know about "wind" till now. so anyway, i was happy that i went for some detoxifying massage. i read that okinawa has the most centurians and they get their shiatsu massage weekly. in local context, i think it will be rather costly with massage prices here at $60. then i decided to go to the temple to pray. the chinese Kuan Ying temple at bugis. pray for good health and career for myself and family. world peace. on way home, shopped at bugis, no longer called seiyu but BHG and it is a lame name. its full name is "Be Here for Good things" gosh. it could only be the works of taiwan/china-chinese/japanese retail. in this case, i belive it is japanese. be here for good things. if it was local or european, the marcom team would have been fired. so anyway, i just bought a pair of earrings and a pair of stockings which i have to give away now, cos it looks bad on me. it is a very nice pair of striped stockings and i dont do justice to it. my calves are too big. so anyway, due to to massage and the 3-hr sleep i had the night before, i was terribly groggy and tired and took a nap in the afternoon. it was purely tiredness. woke up in the evening and went for dinner with val, bren, sis & tim at the steak house forrests at holland v. the food was ok only but we enjoyed the ambience. i dont normally spend $200 on dinner but this is only once in a while kind of dinner. val bought me deathly hallows and Opera mag which i used to love but had not read it for quite a while now.
the next day, i collected my phone from the service centre at wisma. my sony k800i is barely one year old and it has been serviced twice. the phone is draining the battery in a matter of hours even when on standby. had the phone back yesterday but it is still drinking my electricity (which is also $$) i always tell my husband he is always charging the phone and camera which he uses for work and i said the money he gets from his job should also cover the electricity that is being used for these equipment. you see, he works free lance and the pay is hourly rated. after petrol for the car and electricity money for the phone and camera that he needs to use every day, how much goes into his pocket? anyway, i am just making a point and not saying he has to do something about it. for the time being, the flexible work nature is good for us. anyway, back to my phone. the customer service girls are mostly philipinas and they are pretty and young, like 18 or 20. they are probably university educated or at least collage. i am just wondering say, ten years down the road, will we see many cross-marriages between our youths here and them. this is a social-economic culture and i feel that it is only natural to fall in love. so anyway, i will be going back to ask them to service my phone again or give me a new one.
went to help cousie anna choose her wedding gowns. she is really lucky to have so many flattering ones that suit her well. colour and style are complementing her. how sweet.
dinner at lavander hawker centre and headed home sweet home. my honey was waiting for me.
sunday, went for one more round of massage. yes, i want to treat my problem successively so that i can regain healthy body asap. did nothing much after that except having a can of organic clamp chowder soup which was blend for all its goodness.

Happy belated birthday!
You did a lot of things. I don't take leave on my birthday cos I have no idea how to spend it. I would love to have those massages you had. Will get the contacts from you when I am in Singapore.
Wishing you good health and happiness .
Best wishes,
Ashley
