Came across snatch thief in the wet market. Strain wrist. Coincidence today is his last consultation. He asked if he could take a look. Sure. He checked and confirmed just a strain, reminded me to apply ice compression and buy the gel from the pharmacy. Ice compression + gel application + wrist guard.

It's funny that he concluded the snatch thief story by saying "you lost your favourite handbag?" and eyeing my handbag... [允悲]
Well I didn't lose my bag, I was carrying my mum's bag. Anyway, it is even funnier when he asks me why I bought it in Kepong "so far". Told him because my house is along the way.

大家晚安哦~
Competition should be fair and rational.The US will not succeed by following that path. The US needs to be reminded that anyone trying to close other people’s doors would only box themselves in.
竞争应是公平合理的。奉劝美方：想要封上别人的门，只会堵死自己的路。

【开光】一个物件是大师开过光的，这里的“开光”用英文怎么说？一时很难想到合适的说法。其实，一个很简单的词就能表达，那就是 bless，这个词有这么一个含义：

to make sth holy by saying a prayer over it 祝圣
例句：The priest blessed the bread and wine. 神父祝圣了面饼和葡萄酒。

bless有“祝圣”之意，虽然语境是基督教，但与佛教里的“开光”本质相似。而且 to make sth holy by saying a prayer over it 这个解释本身就很妙，基本把“开光”的意思说明白了。例如：
Knowing he would see the Pope, his mother asked if he could buy some roseries and get them blessed by the Pope. 母亲听说他有机会见到教皇，便问他能否买些念珠请教皇祝圣（“开光”）。
