Had a gastric flu bout on friday. Dunno what's wrong with my stomach but it juz refuses to perform as expected. T_T This gastric flu syptom has been an old stomach habit of mine and will act up at unexpected moments...which is oH so Damn it. I visited the toilet countless times and feel like puking whenever the smell or sight of food is around me. Guess I have make a nice ally with toilets and perhaps I shld even invest in some toilet buisness in the near future. LOL. I wanted to take half-day leave but dropped the idea since it was a friday. So I "tahang" the whole day in lab lo.

Friday air always seems to be better and my mood swings become less frequent. Someone says I am especially EMO on Monday which I completely agree with him/her. Haha.

Thanks a lot to Yi Jia and Yong Zen for giving me the doughnuts from Vinco's. Call me a country bumpkin or mountain turtle but I dunno much about doughnuts. The only kinda doughnuts I ever know are those plain sugar or chocolate with colourful sugar kinds. WaHaha. The doughnuts from Vinco's were yummy and had a soft and crunchy taste. My taste buds are craving for more.

I went to Peck San Teng （碧山亭）and Kuan Yin Mountain （观音山..direct translation lol）during the weekend with parents for Qin Ming Festival to pray ancestors. It rained heavily on that day so the weather was less humid. When I was young, the sight of urns and burning paper were a douuble horror to me. Especially when I had to hold the joss sticks and pray to my grandma in this errie hallway. But now I'm more impressed by the ancient yet serene architecture of such temples.

Being reading "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" lately. It's a great book with inspirational thoughts that touches my heart. I came across this sentence:

"You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you don't. We think such things are random. But there's a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole."

A monk once told me that all babies are awaiting death once they are born and that death is inevitable. Hmm, indeed it's true.
