Day 14

My mood was at an all-low on Tues. Had to return to work looking so ugly! Fell flat on my face on Monday while rollerblading and scrabbed my nose and lips. I remember the first thing on my mind after I fell was "oh no...i think i broke my nose *&%$". Was super irritated cos it wasn't even my fault that I fell. I was only trying to avoid the person who fell in front of me and also cos the person beside me didn't help. But it was alright, I cld still live with that cos after I got home, everyone was so concerned and encouraging that my mood was lifted. And when I got to the office, everyone was also super nice, showering words of concerns and sharing remedies for wounds to heal faster. wc recommended aloe vera, mn recommended bbq cream (typo cos she was sick and actually meant bb cream), and xc recommended a plaster to make it look like a soccer injury and make me look 'meaner'. But.........

The most heartbreaking thing came just before lunch. I dropped my phone while getting out of a cab and the screen got smashed. My new nokia!!!! only 2 mths old!!! *&$#!%&#)*@!#. Just went to enquire last evening- the warranty doesn't cover screen cracks cos it's considered a "fatal damage" and it costs $45 to repair. How can it be a "fatal damage" when it only fell off from my lap? Felt super sick that day.

Ode was trying to recall a chinese idiom to describe my predicament. We supplied “祸不单行”，“因祸得福”，“塞翁失马，焉知非福”,but in the end she remembered it was “大难不死必有后福”... That sounded ominous and wrong then but after the nokia customer svc lady apolegetically insisted that it was a "fatal" damage, I kinda think Ode's right.

Hmm but whatever, things can only get better since the worst is over. This time i “赔钱又赔色”, but I'll earn it back and heal in no time!
