It's a rest day today, tuesday. Actually it's a good day to swim, but my knee is all wrapped up. Before i forget to mention, it's a sunny day and great for swimming. yesterday it rained when i was swimming, and the rain stopped when i finished bathing. crap.

Sinseh says it's a sprain, and he rubbed a sore spot for a very long time and smothered the deepheat-like ointment all over the knee and thigh area. The spot is still pretty sore, but i'm quite happy to know that it's just a sprain. But the sinseh's place....I think the air is not very clean. I was sneezing my way out of the medical hall. Such sensitive nose I have.

The house still has a chao dah smell from this morning. I saved the house from being burnt down. My mama forgot to turn off the stove and left the tapioca to burnt itself out. Resulting in the chao dah smell. It was supposed still edible according to her, when she inspected the remains of the tapioca when she came back. But I had soaked the entire pot in water already, so cannot eat. A pic to evidence the incident, but I have trouble connecting through bluetooth.

So this afternoon....I cannot decide whether to play guitar hero first or read my new book first. It's pretty good, Daniel Tammet's second book, if you have interest in our minds and how the brain works. It's a little more heavy because he quotes a number of researches, but less dry and technical (for a layman like me) as compared to Steven Johnson's Mind Wide Open. But even that book (Mind Wide Open) was lambasted on amazon for lack of substance (because the reviewer said the author has not gotten a degree in neuroscience - hence I suppose the review opines that the author is not qualified to write a 'deep' book in the subject). I am not bothered to verify such arguments, afterall, I've learnt to take what I learn/hear/understand with a pinch of salt. Seems that nothing nowadays is cast in stone. Things change and never remain the same. Not many things are that fundamental to withstand this thing called change.

Got a number of quotes I copied from the Embracing the Wide Sky, shall post later.

Now to get some coffee.
