Today has been such a day. After all, its the second day of the Lunar New Year. How bad could it get, right?
Only visited two households today, and when my mother stepped on what seemed to be dried doggie doodoo upon stepping out of the car, I told her I saw a black cat cross the entire family's path just now, just that I didn't tell them to avoid it, and how I walked a big round in front of the cat.
Sure enough, I caught a terrible cold a few minutes later, and fell down and severely hurt my knee. So I ended up sniffing, hacking and limping to the last household for a nice steamboat which I wasn't really obliged to eat directly from. Its really, really painful. I can't straighten my leg without yelping. And I don't usually yelp.
Oh well, at least I earned five bucks on the Mahjong table today.
I remember in the past I've always thought that pregnant women gave birth to babies from their rear. Of course, being a younger innocent-er child, I didn't have much of an understanding of the human reproductive system as we all do now.
Doctor: Its a boy! Its a boy! We'll just go take him to the next room to clean-
Mother: No! Pass him to me, I want to see him now!
Doctor: Umm. We don't recommend that, Madam. He's rather..
Mother: I beg you, I want to see him!
Doctor: Fine.. (passes baby)
Mother: Why is he covered in-
Doctor: You've been eating too many New Year goodies.
I crave. Mahjong. I hear. Mahjong tiles being shuffled. Or they be neighbours.
Can't believe we're going back to school tomorrow. I haven't even really rested yet! These past few days have been taxing. Kinda. More or less. Tons of stuff just waiting to be done. Keyword: waiting.
Okay I'd better be off, my knee isn't feeling very forgiving and my cold doesn't look like it'll be gone overnight either.
