A Blog of Sorts

Its been such a long time since I blogged cos I have nothing much to blog about really. Nothing's really been happening in my life apart from a few odds and ends.

Basic Massage Course
Well, i really love this course and how it was conducted. It gave me a good view to the human anatomy, bones and muscles, origins and insertions, how to massage, how to ease tension before and after a run or exercise. We are even considering buying a massage bed to practice, so friends, family, countrymen, noblemen, start taking your queue numbers. You can choose from a female or male massuer, air con or non air con room with nice spa music and some wholesome bread and tea after. No children please. :)


Mahjong
I have been playing at the uncommonest places of all, shall not reveal where but having lots of fun! I bought this mini, portable mahjong set which comes with a mini table. Its absolutely fantastic! Admittedly still not very good at it but enjoying every game that I try to win and learning from my stupid mistakes.

Hair
Help! Shall I rebond or do a digital perm? My cranky dry wavelike hair is driving me crazy and with the inflation and all the prices may shoot up in time to come so I hope to do it real soon. Wat shall I do?

America
Do you think the currency will drop further? I do wanna go to San Fran, NY, LA, Chicago, Hollywood, etc, Then again, I can name u a dozen other countries that I wanna go to too.... But since the prices are falling, doesnt it make sense to go.... soon?

Eat Love Pray
All you thirty (or fourty) something babes or gonna be thirty or so babes this year.... yes you....... This is a really good book abt life's little troubles...... I'm only halfway through it (thanks to long working hours) but I love it.

Work
I know some or rather many people who work longer than me but on average, I work like 10 hrs a day. I'm grouchy. Things can be done you know. NOt that I have not suggested. there are times I work for 15 hrs a day. Its tiring. at least 2-3 days i work like 12 hrs. it sucks.
