A series of unfortunate events happened to us during the mid of last month, especially to Cass.
Cass was unexpectedly warded at the Institute of Urology & Nephrology last month when she fainted after an MRU procedure. On the day that she was discharged, she twisted her ankle just as she stepped out of the hospital and hurt her foot badly.
You can scroll down to read my September 2022 posts on Cass’ MRU procedure.
On the morning of Cass’ discharge from the hospital, just before I left the house for the hospital, my desktop PC conked out. I had quite a bit of backlog to do on my PC as I was away from home most of the time during the 3 days that Cass was at the hospital. Just as I sat down in front of my PC that morning hoping to check my emails, the PC just wouldn’t start the way it should. I rebooted it but still it wouldn’t cooperate with me.
I quickly snapped a photo of the glitch for the hubs to forward it to our computer smart guy at Low Yat Plaza and after he had seen the photo, he told us to bring the CPU over to his shop.
The bad news was an essential part of the CPU had malfunctioned and the not so bad news was it wasn’t very expensive to fix it. The damage to hubby’s wallet was about RM500 😖
Oh yes, on the morning that my PC conked out, I dropped a mirror which broke into a zillion pieces. But I’m not going to believe that breaking a mirror will bring me seven years of bad luck. It’s purely superstition and this dates back to the times of the Romans, who were extremely superstitious people.
Back in the day, Romans believed that mirrors had magical powers and they were a doorway to one’s soul. They also believed that a mirror gives people the power of foreseeing the future and are devices of the “gods.” Thus breaking a mirror would terminate its powers, the soul would go astray from the body and misfortunes would be brought upon the one whose reflection it last held. They also believed that the reflection is actually the soul of the actual person.
Do you think that breaking a mirror would bring you bad luck or just a myth?
After using three Osim portable massage chairs and vowed never to use this cheesy but expensive brand of massage chair again, I bought a cheap portable massager from Lazada. It’s a portable shawl massager that’s rechargeable with pretty strong massage movements. As it’s portable, I can put the massager on any part of my body to soothe the achy parts. I’ve been using it for two weeks now and loving it. It cost me less than RM200 and I hope that it’ll last for at least a year.
My last Osim portable massager only lasted half a year and it cost almost a thousand bucks. It’s the worst brand of massager ever with bad customer service (Mid Valley Megamall outlet). When it conked out, it was still under warranty but it was the MCO then and all the malls were closed. When the lockdown was partially lifted, I went to the Osim shop with the massager but the customer service staff told me that the massager’s warranty was over. I reasoned with them that I couldn’t bring the massager back to the shop for repair as the entire country was under a lockdown but they wouldn’t buy my argument. I was told that the repair would cost RM500, which is half the cost of a brand new massager. I was so pissed with them that I just left that piece of crap at their shop and never returned to bring it home.
