Hi, just as what has been since last year, I need to announce this: My M comes again!

You see, I will attribute my M problem to a psychological origin. Western medicine doesn't help. Chinese medicine helps a little. And now, when I'm away from Hong Kong (well, I miss you all though) and my sick family, my M is functioning again.

I'm so happy. It's only late for nine days. (Twiggy, you remember how many times I counted the weeks and months when it's late.)

But I'm having M pain... Well, according to the stringent Chinese Medicine standard, pain on the first day is normal. (Sophia, would you please double check with Dr. Chan? I read his book on gynecology... But I can't remember what about pain on other days...)

It's like, it's more painful when I'm back home... I didn't feel so distracted when I was in my office and the library. I can't concentrate on the readings... Or is this only an excuse to have a break? :D
