My Life

Argh….!

There’s only 2 colors in my life now and they are none other than black & white!

Life is so boring!

Can someone bring me some excitement in life?

Is it true when people say, there wont be happiness if there weren’t unhappiness?

I hope it’s true!!! Coz I’ve been feeling damn down for weeks!

I never get wat I wanted and when I finally got wat I wanted; it’ll eventually be gone even before I realize it.

God, can u be nicer to me please???

Lin has been down on luck lately!

A Happy Weekend 07.06.09

It was a fruitful Sunday!

Woke up at 2:00 PM (a Miracle isn’t it!) and couldn’t find anything to do.

Decided to wash my clothes to kill time … and suddenly recalled that i havent got any red tops to match my favourite red heels!

Went over to Far East later in the afternoon hoping to find a red top to match it!

.

.

.

.

Shopping = Retail Therapy = Happiness + Unhappiness (When i look at my bank balance!) = Damage to Pocket

My buys!

.

.

.

Loves this top! Damage = $35.90

Skirts for work from Osmose!  Damage = $59.80

This is a great buy! 50% off, from Osmose as well! Damage = $14.50

A must buy on a shopping spree from Heatwave! Damage = $35.90

Time to change my ugly looking Cosmetic Pouch.. Damage = $19.90!

It caught my eye as soon as i stepped into the shop! Damage = $28.00

This one as well! $28.00

Sigh, bought so many things and none was in red! Damn, thought i was supposed to look for a red top!

Total damages for the day = $222! + $10 (Shawl) = $232

Oh Gawd ! GSS GSS GSS!!!!!

I’m so in love with it!

.

.

Headed for dinner at Hooters @ Clarke Quay as i was craving for fresh oysters!

After much ding dong, we finally got a smoking table and decided on what we wanna order!

Me: “Can we have a dozen of oysters please”?

Waitress: “Sorry, all our oysters are aold out”

Me: “Oh my god, i came here for the oysters!!!”

Eventually left Hooters and started searching aimlessly for restaurants that serves Oysters!!!!

Didnt mange to find anything until Katek told me Wine Garage serves it!

So off we went

.

.

.

Went down to Autosports after dinner to look for Katek and UB and drinks all the way till 1:00AM!

A Happy Sunday (“,)

Disfigured 24.05.09

Gua Sha (Chinese: 刮痧; pinyin: guā shā), literally “to scrape away fever” in Chinese (more loosely, “to scrape away disease by allowing the disease to escape as sandy-looking objects through the skin”), is an ancient medical treatment.

 

Gua Sha involves repeated pressured strokes over lubricated skin with a smooth edge. Commonly a ceramic Chinese soup spoon was used, or a well worn coin, even honed animal bones, water buffalo horn, or jade. A simple metal cap with a rounded edge is commonly used.

In cases of fatigue from heavy work a piece of ginger root soaked in rice wine is sometimes used to rub down the spine from head to tail.

The smooth edge is placed against the pre-oiled skin surface, pressed down firmly, and then moved down the muscles — hence the term “tribo-effleurage” (i.e., friction-stroking) — or along the pathway of the acupuncture meridians, along the surface of the skin, with each stroke being about 4-6 inches long.

This causes extravasation of blood from the peripheral capillaries (petechiae) and may result in sub-cutaneous blemishing (ecchymosis), which usually takes 2-4 days to fade. Sha rash does not represent capillary rupture as in bruising, as is evidenced by the immediate fading of petechiae to echymosis, and the rapid resolution of sha as compared to bruising. The color of sha varies according to the severity of the patient’s blood stasis — which may correlate with the nature, severity and type of their disorder –appearing from a dark blue-black to a light pink, but is most often a shade of red. Although the marks on the skin look painful, they are not. Patients typically feel immediate sense of relief and change^{[citation needed]}.

Practitioners tend to follow the tradition they were taught to obtain sha: typically using either gua sha or fire cupping. The techniques are not used together.^[5]

 

In classical Chinese practice, the Gua Sha technique is most commonly used to:

• Reduce fever (the technique was used to treat cholera).
• Treat fatigue caused by exposure to heat (often used to treat heat-stroke) or cold.
• Cough and dyspnea: bronchitis, asthma, emphysema.
• Treat muscle and tendon injuries.
• Push sluggish circulation, fibromyalgia.
• Treat headache.
• Treat sunstrokes / heat syncope and nausea.
• Treat stiffness, pain, immobility.
• Treat digestive disorders.
• Treat urinary, gynecological disorders.
• To assist with reactions to food poisoning.^[6]

There is an allied technique, Ba Sha (Chinese: 拔痧; pinyin: bá shā, literally “to pull out fever”), or ‘tsien sha’, which has a similar application to Gua Sha. It is performed by gripping the skin, lifting and then flicking between the fingers until petechiae appear. It is used more often on the tendons, at the center of the brow, or than over specific acupuncture points.

 

THE DAMAGE

ShunQiang’s Birthday 23.05.09

Its ShunQiang’s 27th Birthday!

@ QB Qool Bar, Boat Quay!

Stupid guy didnt allow mw to take any of his pics except for the above!

It was a pretty boring night as i dont really know his friends well. They were all so into their own conversation and i was in my own little world.

Felt like singing but couldn’t find a male partner! Can’t imagine how i managed to stay there all the way from 10 plus till 2 plus in the morning!

Headed to Auto after that and drank all the way till 4plus 5!

Its MingFeng’s Wedding!

@ Holiday Inn Atrium

on 23 May 2009!

 Totally forgot about the dinner until my sis starts her 夺命连环 Calls! Didnt wake up till 7:30 PM!

It was a bad day,  somehow somewhere somewhat, i sprained my back, unknowingly! But still i made it to the wedding – was limping! It has been a great night, enjoyed catching up with old time friends!

Sigh, it seems like the trend now is about getting engaged, married or having babies! So many of my friends getting married this year.

Anyway, here’s wishing MingFeng and wife a blissful marriage!

Lizzy’s Farewell 22.05.09

Lizzy’s farewell @ Brewerks Clarke Quay.

So sad that she’s leaving… one of the remaining few kind souls in the office!

A toast to the great colleague!

The finger food

It was a night of fun — with gossips!

Lizzy’s been a great colleague! A happy mum of one as well. Admire her always for being able to stay calm and composed during difficult situations. Unlike the devil in the office who goes yabbering non-stop every single day!

A final group pic before we end the day!

All the best to Lizzy in her new job and life in Shanghai and till we meet again….
