In fact I kind of favor Mr Greece also; he has good height & a very romantic look….
Yes, must get Raymond to place us on the judges panel (if not.. at least to get the 1st row of the VIP seats)…

Enjoy your weekend.

Acupuncture & Acupressure

I survived, thanks to my built-up-through-the-years high treshhold for pain.

Hit by a double-whammy of tennis elbow and frozen right shoulder, I took the TCM path as it would have been a long 4-week wait before I could get an appointment with one of the visiting orthopaedic consultants to the govt hospital.

As long as my condition is not life threatening, I, like many others add on to the l o n g Q. But heck, why do I have to wait that long? I may not die, but I'm already partially immobilised.

I now take the lift at the MRT station, otherwise I have to stand on the right side of escalator, holding the handrail with my righthand (which means I will be blocking those wanting to walk up) as I need my functioning left-hand to carry my handbag & other stuffs.

I cant put on my bra the normal way cos' I can't reach the back to fasten the clips. But recently learnt from a fellow sufferer a painless way to wear it by bringing bra band to front for fastening, and then twirl the cups from back to front & loop arm thro' each strap, and viola, the breasts' cupped! No more struggling to wear d bra t-shirt style.

Can wear T's unless they're the super-stretchable sort, otherwise will have to struggle with the upper torso when taking it off.

Can't manually squeeze fresh orange juice with the plastic mould.

Can't bring out bamboo poles to dry my laundry.Can't pluck arm-pit hairs, wash hair & scrub right scalp, scratch my back, stretch out hand to pick food from center of table, etc, etc, etc

The list goes on....boo hoo hoo....routine activites taken for granted until you realise you no longer can do them perfuntorily.

Anyhow, the needle-poking (acupuncture) & application of pressure to specific body points (acupressure) has helped to relief pain to a certain extent, while I wait 10 more days before I get to see Dr Orthopaedic.

You're stylish, nimble, and good-looking. When it comes to having fun, there are few who can surpass you. And yet, you suffer from a lingering inferiority complex. Maybe it's because you have an older relative who is always in thelimelight?

I whine

I keep getting email like this that makes you take a much needed breather
away from office rigmaroles to be thankful and enjoy that feel-good feeling:

When I Whine
~~~~~~~
Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair I looked at her and sighed and wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and used a crutch
But as she passed, she passed a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine
I have 2 legs, the world is mine.
~~~
I stopped to buy some candy
The lad who sold it had such charm
I talked with him a while,
he seemed so very glad If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me,
"I thank you, you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind."
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.
~~~
Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue
He stood and watched the others play
He did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word.
And then I knew, he couldn't hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 ears, the world is mine.
~~~
With feet to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I would know.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed, The world is mine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~
Sorrow looks back,
Worry looks around,
Faith looks up.

Pray, Pray, People for Me and I Pray Pray for You

Yet another email that makes you believe in the ethereal world .

Pray, dear people, pray that I get my prayers answered and I'll pray, pray for yours to come true, too.

" A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island.

The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agree that they had no other recourse butto pray to God.

However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food.

The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren.

After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"

"My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything."

"You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings."

"Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?" "He prayed that all your prayers be answered"

For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us.

This is too good not to share. With obedience come blessings. My prayer for you today is that all your prayers are answered. Be blessed.
