KLUTZ

Today is a clumsy day. This morning, on my way to campus, I unexpectedly tripped. Scrapped the knees. Twisted the right foot. Thank goodness it's not serious. Walking is, thankfully, still not a problem. It hurts only when I walk fast, or when I attempt to rotate the foot in a circular motion.

After lesson, I went to JP. And because my mind was focused on reading an SMS, I nearly walked right into the glass door entrance. Oh my goodness! It was such a close shave! All it takes is just one more step, and PIONK! I'll slam right into it like a flattened pancake.

Sometimes, I'm still amazed at how easily I can tear over trivial things. It can be so trivial that it feels downright silly and embarrassing. It's like, thinking to myself, "Hey, girl! Why - and how on earth - do you cry over something this trivial? You're so silly!" It's like... Having the audacity to poke a sleeping dragon in the eye; but yet, silly enough to cry quietly and foolishly over a broken toenail. Ironic!

Oh well, oh well. Sometimes, even I can surprise myself.

I guess, it makes one more aware of our own weaknesses. Despite living for so long, I still dare not declare I know myself upside down and inside out. It makes me feel humbled, like, you know, hey girl! What do you know, honestly? You're not spot-on 100% of the time! You're not as right - or as perfect -as you think, babe!

It really always put everything back into perspective; as though a kind reminder that we're nothing but of mere dust. It makes me feel small. I feel great, but yet, small at the same time. Sometimes, it feels like it is possible to overcome anything and everything; but yet, in the face of the universe, I am sooo puny. Like dust. A flower quickly fading; here again and gone tomorrow. A wave tossed in the ocean; vapour in the wind.

I guess, that's why it's so important to have sounding board(s) in our life.

There's a Bonanza Food Paradise fair in Boon Lay bus interchange. It's been there since ages ago. Oh crap, for the past month, I've been eating Taiwan Sausage like a starved lioness pouncing on a herd of shepherd-less sheep. Like a wide-eyed kid shopping in a candy store with Santa Old Man. I am such a glutton (oink oink)! On average, I can have up to 6 sticks in a week! Thank goodness I don't personally know any cardiologists!

I wonder if the herbal teas would offset any bad effects of the fatty, oily, cholesterol-ladden Taiwan Sausages. I had a bottle of Ginseng Chrysanthemum tea today, and 2 sticks of Taiwan Sausage. Hmmm...
