Just caught the pizza commercial on TV. Made me wonder if I am the type of parent who will grab the opportunities to celebrate everything little thing about my child, especially my first child. Haha, I just might. But if I do, please remind me to do the same with my second, third, fourth child too... Every child should be special and made to feel special. No reason why only the first one gets it because he or she was still a novelty then. Yep, I think in a morbid sort of way first-borns are like novelty to the parents and extended family. Let us see if your crowd of friends are still excited over a new young member if there have already been a few of them running around the place. Do I sound jealous or bitter? Not really, just reflective.
Anyway, went for the second round of putting my spine in place yesterday. While the actual treatment did not hurt much, the after-effect was that I got quite drowsy and a little sore as time went on. Guess this goes with the theory that this is part of the 'expulsion' process. What is there to expel? Well, basically if you never or hardly believed in Chinese medicine, you would just dismiss it all as hogwash. But according to the doctor's explanation and my own understanding, it is the expulsion of 'air' from my body. Where did those air come from? Well, how did you think I was able to keep blowing my trumpet all these time? Haha, just kidding. But I suppose most of you would agree... It seems that the core of all my health problems arise from the fact that I have a very weak digestive system. So because of incomplete or incompetent digestion, I am thus beridden with a whole list of other problems.
Wait a minute! What has my digestive tract got to do with my spinal cord now? Hehe... Confusing right? Go read up on Chinese medicine abit. It is really not as nonsensical as it seems. After all, the Chinese have been depending on it for thousands of years, spreading the practice even to Japan and Korea and now the 'ang mohs' have no choice but also concede that many of the theories are sound and logical. Hey, our 'gahmen' also approved it already. Why are you still so unaccepting? Haha.
In any case, the treatment means I ahve to lay off exercise and carrying heavy load for a while. Another good excuse, endorsed by the doc no less, to do less around the place. Haha.
Sigh, why is it that whenever the good times are about to end then you find that you actually have many more things you would like to do? Hee... starting work next week. I am looking forward to that in a way but these two days I suddenly have many projects and plans that I wanted to put in place. The least of it is arranging to go Sentosa with a friend, but alas before the excursion I have to go back to work. Darn!
Well, instead of procrastinating away, I have decided to finish up what I have started and promised before the day is up today and I am too fixed in my weekend routine to do anything then. Hehe.
