气 - Qi (energy) or Qi (anger) .....

12 Nov 2006 (this is backdated)

My plans for the coming weeks were thwarted - with a loud thud this morning!!

First , I was looking forward to having high tea with my close friends at Shangri La Hotel this afternoon.

Then, I was supposed to go roller blading a week later, which was to be followed by swimming at another friend's place.

More great plans ensue.........I was already in a holiday mood with the upcoming christmas season.

With my adrenaline pumping, I decided to pack my overspilling cabinet. I was told that decluttering would also do good to promote better flow of "Qi"( 气 - energy) .

I climbed up on a high chair to pack the top layer of my cabinet. I must have been so absorbed in the packing work that I forgot that I was standing on a high chair. I took a step down when I was done with the packing .........THUD!!! I fell backwards, half body sprawing across the toilet, with the right side of my head hitting the toilet bowl. A Louder THUD followed with the slamming of the toilet seat cover on the toilet bowl!

My first reflex was to get up and walk , and thank GOD!, I could!!

My aunt who was nearby quickly applied medicated oil on the affected areas. My left lower shin , my left arm were all bruised and swollen.............Ouch!! I kept moving away from her when she massaged the affected areas.......... Guess what, the Sinseh whom I consulted later, said that I shouldn't have done the massaging since it would aggravate the swelling. Arrghhhh............ endured the pain without any gain!!

Talking about better flow of Qi (气 - energy) after decluttering - huh!! now I am more "Qi" - 气 (angry!!)
