Incidental Encounter

Last night, I drove Wabe, Kee and Hui Yu to the relative's house who is currently accomodating the little boy who is said to the reincarnation of an esteemed lama.
I had originally decided not to partake in the "blessing" ceremony as I felt awkard if I did not perform the gesturing required of the people of the faith and would appear to be rather aloof.
Surprisingly, I was drawn inside despite my initial discomfort..and I even knelt to be be patted by the little boy on the head! (I hope he isn't spooked by my GEL hardened SPIKEY hair..heh heh)

Almost 20 years ago, I remembered I read on a book .. TB Lobsang ..if I did not remembered wrongly..the mythical world of buttered tea..ricecake..third eye..monks who was full of humour...has fascinated me. Yesterday, I actually came face to face with such a person...

Incidentally, 2 days ago...my Ping An amulet was discovered to be smashed to pieces...the last time such things happened to me..was when I miraculously escaped unscathed when a motorcycle drove straight to me....thank goodness Wabe bought it for me that day... ODE TO BEE!

Silent !

I fixed up my trusty old Honda with the Silent sound proofing..heh heh
The acoustics is really different now...not to mention the solid thump of the doors which is not unlike a BMW's :) It is a kinda scary silence when I drive in the heavy traffic..muted vacuum feel..feels so..ah..Continental:)

Cheap thrill .. beats incurring another fresh car loan though:)

Need to be liquid.. for the next correction...and hopefully that time, I'd have the leverage to go for the big haul...sigh..one can dream :) but if I succeed...hmm..:)
