The Ah-gua with a heart two size smaller

Patient: I have a heart that has malfunctioned the past 6 months. You see, it has grown smaller in the past 6 months, despite much efforts with radiology and constant panicks from the monster that roams at every corner, 911 had been called, experimental threatments had been done,.even to the point as atheist I had cried out to God for help, but everything was a botch. Medically, I am suffering in a way that is beyond hope. I cannot sleep well, I hear noises that seems to be amplified a thousand fold, I even know what I did last summer perfectly.



So, what heart condition is it? Pettiness my friend.



Pettiness is a sickness that grows like wild thorns. It seeps into your life at a rate that is hard to control. You throw this condition into a enviromentally controlled position with all kinds of pesticides to control it, only to find out days later the thorn outgrew you! They actually become immune and you know somehow, something or somebody won eventually.



Pettiness makes you a loud loser where nobody takes pity on you. Rather, they laugh at you as they comfort you. Your nightmares grow, you hear doors thumping like baboons, and you hear Hecate's voices everywhere. Macbeth's condition is what you are suffering. Or rather, put it in the oriental way: Monkey God goes beg Tang-sen:"Master! Please don't preeech anymore! Wah kia liao!"



In fact, Tang-sen did not do anything. The pettiness amplify to such an extent that you grow a distain for anything that happens. Together with thickness of any possible individual being one can be, the pettiness grows to a point of growling. Welcome to my past 6 months, doc.



Who can cure me now?

School Term started; will I be able to graduate on time?

School started for a week.

What did I do during these holidays?

No work. No job.

I went to Guangzhou. Took a bus down with Teng to HongKong.

When I got back, Mid August went down to Hei Long Jiang with Song Bai Hua

I moved house. I am living in the city now. French concession Area. Its a lovely district. Just somehow, you start to realise you dun belong really in here. Everyone looks rich and properly civalised. I look more like some beggar who somehow got himself into Sunset Boulevard.

I did not manage to go to Greece as planned.

My Star Alliance Gold Card will expire Feb 2008. There was no imput of any mileage since October 2006.

Guess I will lose the Card soon no matter what.

Meanwhile I hope those points i accumulated will still be on time for a trip next year to Greece. I will take a gamble, and book 2 tickets there. Whether a not, I am going, that is another story.

About the trip to Hong Kong and Harbin, I will write about it when I am more clear-headed. I am depressed. Somehow.

Edgar might be coming to Shanghai this October/November. He will not be coming in for the Special Olympics as planned. I wonder whether he will be comfortable sleeping on the couch in my living room. Bad ventilation, and most probably a cold period as Autumn breaks into Winter. Shanghai is a bloody cold place. No central heating system. We all just freeze like chickens in freezers.

Star Alliance Gold: Will you be able to choke out 50,000 mileage points before Feb 2008 miraculously? o.O
