I won the auction

I recently bid on a pair of earrings and a pendant, and I won the auction. The auction was held to help to raise fund for girl’s pending surgery. She has a rare genetic disorder which caused cancer cells to grow in different parts of her body. She has lost her hearing and her eyesight is deteriorating too. Since I don’t really wear much of jewelry, I have donated the jewelry for her to raise more fund.

Her friends help to make the jewelry pieces, though they are really nice and one of a kind. They may take them too long to produce a piece of work. In order to raise enough fund in a short period of time, maybe they can also buy from a reputable wholesale jewelry supplier and sell them on Ebay to raise the medical fund. That would be faster, wouldn’t it?

Over heated car engine

I have been running around town most of yesterday and today. Yesterday, I went down to the tiles shop to pick and order the tiles for the renovation. On the way there, I noticed that the temperature indicator of my good ‘ol Sunny is pointing closer to ‘H’ than to ‘C’. Past experiences told me that the engine might be over-heated. On the way home, I quickly stopped by the workshop to check.

It was an air condition repair shop that I could trust, I passed the key to the boss and went to the next door’s Indian Restaurant for lunch. I could see 2-3 workers working on my car from the restaurant. By the time I finished lunch, they were about to complete the job. They told me the fan of the air condition was malfunction due to a faulty time relay.( Or something like that? I don’t really understand what they said.:-)) However, I am glad it costs less than 20 bucks to fix that.

I have recently discovered this workshop, the workers and the boss there are honest people. Few months ago, another place told me that I needed to pay 300-400 bucks to get my car’s air condition fixed. In fact, all it needed was a refill of gas and it only costs less than 20 bucks at this place. I would never go back to the first workshop that tried to cheat me. But, this one had a loyal customer now.

Hair loss

I was picking up so much hairs from the floor during my weekly cleaning just now, it worries me. My hair has been dropping quite a lot lately, it doesn’t seem normal to have this many hairs drop everyday. I am puzzled and don’t know what is going on. I wonder it has to do with the medication that I am taking? May be I should tell the doctor and discuss with him when I see him next.

By the rate it goes, who knows I am going to turn bald very soon. Should I consider using hair loss product like provillus? Would it help to curb or at least slow down the hair loss? I cannot imagine if I am turning bald one day. I would probably wear a wig, maybe just stay at home and not going out,  or just wear a hat or a scarf to cover up all the time?
