Lost it to miss it

Lately I find it hard to blog. Not because I have no idea. It's because I start composing blog entries at the strangest times, like when I was rolling on my bed and preparing to sleep, taking a bath, baking cake in toilet, in the middle of a meeting, argh~. My creative juices just come out in inappropriate moments. Together with my short term memory loss, I often sat in front of my PC trying to remember the thing that I want to blog about. It's like my brain is toying with me.

Someone once said, the best way to appreciate something is to lost it. I miss my night run around Marina Bay. I miss walking fast. I miss climbing stairs 2 steps at a time. I miss wearing my high heels even when I don't wear them often. Most of all I miss those $40.00 that I keep forking out to pay for my physio-therapy. I wish my bum ankle will heal faster.

Last Friday I had a root canal due to a bad tooth cavity that attack out of the blue. Ok, it's largely my fault for not taking care of my own tooth but dammit, why now? Talked about sudah jatuh dihimpit tangga (fell and crushed by the ladder). I miss eating my KFC, my Old Chang Kee, my roti canai, nasi lemak, roti kaya, even simple dish like maggi mee also cannot eat. Talk about agony and I only did the first part of my root canal. There is a second part coming. Good time to go on diet of oats and soft porridge. Maybe in a way, God is looking after me. Since my bum ankle prevented me from sports, God gave me a root canal to prevent me from over-eating. See, I like to think positive things to make myself feel better - like durian is soft hence it's edible even in my condition.

All in all, this whole year has seen me going in and out of hospital, surgery beginning of the year, twisted ankle and now root canal. Some asked me to donate blood to counter the bad luck. Cousin Rain said,' Go mandi bunga to buang sui'.

Still some days to Chinese New Year. Perhaps I shall visit the Kuan Yin temple for some bunga.
