Hellooo there! I have quite a few posts lined up for editing and publishing but I have not done anything of late due to a couple of events.
I broke my nose and pulled a muscle in my upper back playing rugby. I played two matches and coached the next morning before realizing that I was more than usually sore and in fact was experiencing excruciating pain across my shoulders to my arms. And then I got a look at the nose that someone had kicked in the first match and confirmed that something else was amiss (as if the almost continuous nose bleed and throbbing in my face and teeth wasn't proof enough).
Everything is better now. Watching lion dancers fling themselves across six little poles as though gravity wasn't an issue does much to raise the spirits. Eating a pot of melted cheese later that night (it counts as hotpot, right?) did much to confirm that yesterday was indeed the best birthday ever. I highly recommend celebrating your birthday on CNY. This may be the one day per year that everyone is nice to you. SB, who sucks at planning, got a bye on this year because he was able to piggyback off someone else's plans. "Ooh, you organized a parade for me," I gushed at him, "this is even better than those ticket to Kota Kinabalu that you forgot to purchase."
Joking aside, this really was my favorite birthday and there wasn't even one wrapped present or cake in sight.
