What deserves a ‘muka sian-sian’ is when someone emails you this (and only this) in the middle of the day:
“Hey, I was just thinking how in a year, you’ll spend more for the carpark than for your car.”
Gee, thanks alot for pointing that out.
Muka sian-sian = 
Huh, what da?

You know those times when you see something but your brain is just slightly behind and you don’t quite register what you just saw? That’s how it was like today when we were going at 111 km/hr - I was just half asleep (don’t worry, I was not behind the wheel), when there was a thud and I looked behind expecting a dead possum but instead I saw my snowboard. The roof rack had given out and the snowboards had gone flying behind us. It was lucky that there was no car behind us, and also that the snowboards had landed just outside the path of traffic (One just on the left of the lane, and the other, right in the middle of the two lanes - what is the chance of that??) because before we managed to rescue the poor unsuspecting snowboards, two trucks had already driven by, I am sure just missing the snowboards by inches. My snowboard did come out of the whole incident unharmed, though Dan’s was slightly damaged. No doubt he was not too impressed as his roof rack was only 3 weeks old and did not come cheap. Tsk tsk.

I passed by a two-dollar shop, selling umbrellas for three dollars each. I don’t think they quite got the concept of two dollar shops.

You Belong in Barcelona |
 When it comes to Europe, you don’t want to decide between culture and fun. You want art by day and a big party by night. Barcelona is ideal for you. You can check out some Picasso, eat some tapas, take a siesta, and then dance all night! |
That’s your qi

As a last effort bid to save my thyroid gland (as I am now in the waiting list for a thyroidectomy - though if you know the New Zealand’s health system, it may very well never happen or at least it will take a very long time), I decided to embrace my roots and visit the nearest acupuncturist. I have to say, it truly was difficult getting my head around the whole idea and not to be the skeptic that I am when he’s throwing in words like yin, and yang (apparently my yin is too low and my yang too high), and oh, did I mention he’s white? It would be somewhat ironic if he’s the one scamming me.
But anyway, a couple more visits, and a whole heap of little black pills later, it seems like I am improving - a bloodtest has confirmed it - though, due to what, I am not sure. All I know is to keep on taking those little pills that come in bottles that say things like “To nourish yin and lower the fire”, and hope that maybe I will get to keep my poor thyroid gland afterall.

So me and my muscles are buddies again. They sulked and moaned, and even had a relay of pain messages from hips, to back, to feet (I wondered when they were going to clue up and start working together against me). Finally after three days, my left leg must have decided that it had had enough when I had to jump in the ice cold sea because the water was too shallow for the water taxi to get any nearer to shore. It refused to lift for more than 2 inches so I had to limp out the final 15 metres. It would have been quite funny really, if it had refused to lift at all; I would be going in circles with one foot firmly embedded in the sand, eventually disappearing into a self-dug hole.
