It is the first time to have acupuncture today but it is not all that I understood. I had thought the doctor would put some needles on relevant points and then slightly tweak needle one by one. Not yet! In fact, I was treated by the insertion of the needles into the body at specific points, then connected with electricity to let impulse work on the points for a while. Why manual replaced by electric equipment? Has the traditional theories been changed? Or my previous understanding was radically wrong? Fresh up!

BTW, here I omit望闻问切---how the doctor looks at my face, asks my medical history and symptoms, feels the pulses, after that he comes up healing focus on some acupoints.

Have you done acupuncture treatment? Let me tell you what I feel, in brief it is that全身插满针，通电一小时 :-)

As Acer Arena sponsor, I guess our company must have got some free tickets for many events or concerts held over there, a handful of tickets never went into our eyes but perhaps swallowed by marketing team :-). So I never expected I could get a ticket as I heard Jay Chou(周杰伦演唱会) sole concert in Australia will be on Acer Arena 3rd July, until a few weeks ago, my manager told me I will be given a free ticket if I am interested in going. WHY NOT? It did sound amazing although I had yet been familiar with Jay's those extremely popular songs. Who can refuse a free ticket while some fans had to spend over $100 to get a VIP ticket? Frankly, if it is not free, I wouldn't like to pay for it even though it was sold $50 that originally $75 in our company. Firstly, I am not kind of people who madly follow up their stars. I don have loved singers, but can’t be supposed a truly loyal fan to attend their concerts. Secondly, I am not a real Jay's fan. In my mind, his fans are mostly younger generation. I believe my niece Andi in China would be probably jealous of me if she knows I can pop up in Jay's concert. Anyhow I had felt a bit excited since I got to know I can go to the concert, more or less it can enrich my entertainment life and would give me hilarious time.

In the concert, at the beginning, I was a little shy to present a crazy fan screaming loudly or dancing with his music, but soon a female colleague Grace and I couldn’t help participating in thousands of enthusiastic audiences showing how hot we were. Luckily, our seats were in sponsor box where is relatively separated area and we were located in the last low, so there was no worry to block other fans when we dancing and waving hands at the back. In the near 3 hours, my each cell was very active and I tried to release my high without holding back. To be honest, most of time I didn’t know what Jay was singing at all but relying on seeing subtitle on the big screen, but it affected nothing. I would say, Jay is definitely a talent after heard more and more his songs, and some melody are very traditional and beautiful, not very hip-hop style as I thought. Particularly interaction between Jay and fans made concert reach peak time as fans singing accompanied with Jay and together answering the question that Jay intended to animate…..It was no doubt a successful concert, I believe. There should be no regret for most audiences.

---Villain hitting
Today I have got big headache, being getting involved in heaps of traps made by some supposed villains. On the contrary, I have to admit I was not so careful that I was put into some traps that could be designed by some people intentionally or unintentionally. Who knows? It is pretty normal scenario for most of workers to face this situation. I tell myself not to see dark side, but more focus what I have learned somehow. Actually you would know how pain it is after you got stabbed. :-)

---Office Politics

Hebe has been telling me something happening at her office from last week. I have not been able to give more comments about it as I am not in that case and not smart and clear enough to provide my suggestion to her although I wanna try to have some constructive advice to her. In fact, I have to say, it is genuinely hard to absolutely escape from a battle of office even though you don’t know how it happened and there is no relation with you at all. Office politics would cause organisation restructure, position adjustment and etc., consequently you could suffer something you wouldn’t like to have, such as having new manager, changed responsibility, new co-workers….Sigh! It also occurs in our company too. A director is kicked out of the company by a new wave of cruel office politics. He will go through his last two weeks in our company. As a common employee even bottom level worker, I never need to think about how to survive in office politics because I am so worthless to be considered in the fight. The higher your position is, the more likely you could be affected. So it is true that the more you take duties, the more money you earn, meanwhile the more risk you take. Good luck to everyone!

1.远离不健康食品

那天，三个女性同事连番劝我不要再吃甜食了，因为我吃的实在太凶了，连续吃了3块巧克力，每块100G，她们真为我担心（不是一天吃完，是分三天：-））；上班时，一口气吃了两袋薯片，她们吓傻了；我还有很多不健康饮食习惯，就不多举了。我吃那些东西，好像从没担心过发胖，或者馋瘾远远大于体重压力吧。终于从上周开始，我的身体和我较劲了，那叫难受。所以，下定决心，远离不健康食品，重新使身体里充满健康元素。

2. 准备治头痛

连续头疼了一周，连续吃止痛片吃了一周，估计你都听得恐怖，我还吃的难受呢。白天疼得挣不开眼，晚上疼得睡不着觉，于是开始怀疑是不是颈椎有问题，或者脑袋里长了肿瘤，或者太阳穴要爆炸，或者某个穴位堵塞…….越想越头疼，呵呵！没辙，今天给个针灸医生打了个电话，周六去看看，以前中药吃太多了，没什么太大作用，所以想试试新方法。

Having an appt with doctor at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital today, but I didn’t see the doctor Joanne that I planned to see, instead was interviewed by a male doctor named Neil 50 minutes later than the scheduled time. The excuse of changing doctor was doctor Joanne didn’t come up, no more explanation, that’s it! Okay, I had no other choice. Talked to doctor Neil for 10 minutes at most then was assigned to another building---hospital’s Medical Centre to see a nurse to be introduced matters need attention before the surgery that will be operated 26^th August. Mind you the time with nurse took me maximum 5 minutes but I was in waiting nearly one and half an hour, meantime she can’t stop yawning in that a few minutes when she was with me, so I had to say,’ you are pretty tired, huh?’ but in mind, I say ‘Hey, excuse me, I am a patient, how dare you treat me by your fatiguing face? I should have been welcomed with more big smiles or thoughtful face although I don’t have serious disease’ I got to hold my disgruntled mood to let her finish what she should do. Maybe she has got used to seeing all kinds of diseases everyday and don’t take it for granted that I am going to have some certain of serious operation.

Since I walked into the hospital prior to 1:00PM, I hadn’t had a little water and food until I was out of hospital after 4:30PM. That means I spent nearly upon to 4 hours in the hospital, but merely having effective 15 minutes in regards to what I was meant to be concerned. Luckily I tended to have breakfast as much as possible, otherwise I would be giddy starving and fall down in the hospital. Doubtless, if it really happens, it will be the most convenient place to get emergency service at the shortest time.

Goddamn it! I have run out of all of my patience today. My lesson I learned today is that don’t go to hospital in the future unless I am dying. If I have to go to see doctor in the hospital, I need to well prepared something that could kill that long waiting time and be pre-fed to appetite. Today I didn’t bring any book with me. It was absolutely blunder! So can you imagine a silly girl who wearily sit there in the hospital and kept texting her friends in lingering manner…..Frankly, today is definitely ‘sick’ leave.
